Learning to act is a very difficult process, and running a river and acting is even more difficult. Xiao Ruolan, the founder of the Qin Cavity "Xiao Pai", originally grew up in Xi'an, and his family lived in the Yi Folk Society, and he studied drama with Wang Tianmin, the "Qin Cavity Mei Lanfang". After she learned some plays, she had to leave Xi'an, why?
It turned out that at that time, the Yi Folk Society did not allow the ladies to sing on stage. In this case, it is really helpless. Xiao Ruolan and her father went to Guyuan's "Fierce Advance Troupe". However, the local economic foundation of Guyuan is weak, and the troupe does not have much income. One autumn, the autumn rains were long, and fewer people watched the play, and the troupe was in trouble. In desperation, Xiao Ruolan and several other actors went to a church meeting of a wealthy businessman to perform five or six plays. Although it was hard work but the income was relatively high, Xiao Ruolan took over, and she hoped to get rid of the predicament of the troupe. The show was naturally a success. But the problem was that after the performance, the rich merchant butler took 200 oceans to him and said that the treasurer had a crush on her, and she was so angry that she threw the silver dollar on the ground, turned around and left.

Soon after, Xiao Ruolan went to Lanzhou with the Mengjin Theater Troupe, performed for nearly three years, and became a popular Kunjiao. Some elderly local Qin opera fans still remember Xiao Ruolan's performance. In 1944, Xiao Ruolan's "The Edge of the Cabinet" became famous in Lanzhou, and the streets and alleys learned to sing "Xu Cuilian is so ashamed". A woman surnamed Wang in Xianhou Street was unable to go to the theater garden to see Xiao Ruolan's "The Edge of the Cabinet" due to her serious illness, which was very regrettable. At that time, there was no radio, and the recording equipment was generally not available in people's homes, let alone television, and it was necessary to go to the theater to watch the play. The woman's only wish in the midst of her critical illness was to see Xiao Ruolan's "The Edge of the Cabinet.". The children tried to find Xiao Ruolan to inform him of the matter, and Xiao Ruolan did not hesitate to follow his children to the patient's bed and sang "The Edge of the Cabinet", the patient was very happy, and his children paid for thanks, but Xiao Ruolan refused. Twenty years later, in 1964, when yi folk society went to Lanzhou to perform "Red Meiling", the son of the woman surnamed Wang went to the backstage of the Lanzhou Theater to find Xiao Ruolan and told her: "After you sang "The Edge of the Cabinet" to my mother, a miracle happened, and the illness actually got better day by day, and she lived until she died at the age of 84 after the founding of New China. ”
