Speaking of crosstalk, the first thing that young people think of now is Guo Degang and Deyun She.
It is precisely because of the performances of the Deyun Society that cross-talk has become popular and gradually become well known to young people.
However, before the Deyun Society, there was another master who advocated the inheritance and innovation of traditional cross-talk, and brought the traditional cross-talk that was not optimistic to the Spring Festival Gala, so that the traditional cross-talk once again appeared in the public vision.
He is Guo Degang's mentor, the cross-talk master Hou Yaowen.
The image created by Hou Yaowen is impressive.
He dedicated his life to the cause of "crosstalk is crosstalk".
He was rated as the inheritor of traditional cross-talk and the pioneer of china's new cross-talk.
But it is such a master of virtue and art, who would have thought that he was also a "daughter slave", in addition to work, spending all his time with his daughter.
And Hou Yaowen himself could not have imagined that his most beloved daughter and most respected brother would actually go to court after his death.
1、
Hou Yaowen was born in Beijing in 1948, and his family is also a famous family, his father is the famous cross-talk master Hou Baolin, and his mother Wang Yalan is also a famous Peking Opera actor.
It can be said that Hou Yaowen has been influenced by culture since childhood.
However, Hou Yaowen's family situation was not as rich as he thought.
Although the ability of his father Hou Baolin is not to be said, he was already famous in the industry when he was young, and often appeared in major theaters.
It's just that in that war-torn era, there were few people who could eat enough, and even fewer people had spare money to listen to cross-talk, and sometimes Hou Baolin not only did not get a penny when he performed on stage, but also had to build something inside himself.
This situation did not gradually improve until the second year of Hou Yaowen's birth.
This year, the civil war ended and people's lives were guaranteed.
This year, Hou Baolin entered the Great Hall of the People as a representative of the cross-talk community.
It was also in this year that Hou Baolin completely took off and became an important figure in the cross-talk industry.
When Hou Yaowen remembered, all he saw was the glorious image of his father, and he only knew that his father was respected everywhere he went.
Gradually, Hou Yaowen also had the idea of learning cross-talk in his heart.
However, this idea was just born, and it was ruthlessly snuffed out by his father Hou Baolin.
Hou Yaowen was called to his side by his father: "You can learn anything, but you can't learn crosstalk..."
In the view of his father Hou Baolin, cross-talk belongs to eating the last meal without eating, and it is not as stable as the chef.
Hou Baolin's adoptive father was a cook, and even in that war-torn era, the family was able to eat and drink without worry.
Hou Baolin did not want the children to be able to get ahead, but only to be able to eat and clothe without worry.
The father's kindness is not understood by Hou Yaowen, and like all adolescent children, the young Hou Yaowen stubbornly regards cross-talk as his ideal.
After each class, Hou Yaowen would sneak into the backstage of the theater and secretly learn cross-talk skills.
When the people in the theater saw Hou Yaowen's appearance of a small and big man, they couldn't help but laugh, but they willingly taught two tricks.
I have to say that Hou Yaowen's talent is really good, with the two or three styles he stole from him, he actually looks like crosstalk.
By the age of 12, Hou Yaowen had been recognized by the theater and performed the cross-talk play "Drunk" on stage.
However, all this was done in private from his father, and Hou Yaowen should still read and sleep on weekdays.
Until 1965, Hou Yaowen, who had just graduated from junior high school, heard from his classmates that the Railway Literary troupe recruited cross-talk students.
Hou Yaowen hesitated repeatedly, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, or secretly ran to his father to sign up.
Unexpectedly, Hou Yaowen went to high school in one fell swoop and received unanimous praise from the judges and teachers.
This made Hou Yaowen a little proud: he really still had the talent for crosstalk.
However, the next sentence of the judge teacher made Hou Yaowen a little overwhelmed: "What is your father's name?" ”
Hou Yaowen's smile disappeared suddenly, and he hesitated in his heart, unable to speak for a long time.
When the judges and teachers saw this, they also guessed one or two in their hearts, and said with a smile: "I will say that your boy's level is definitely not self-study, let's talk about it, where did you learn cross-talk." ”
Hou Yaowen couldn't hide it, and could only say that his father was Hou Baolin, and even said the idea that his father did not support himself in saying crosstalk.
The judges and teachers said "easy to do", and the next day they brought the leaders of the cultural and labor troupe to Hou Yaowen's home.
The leader said to Hou Baolin: "We are in the cross-talk industry, there are not many people who originally learn, and it is difficult for children to have this willingness, we should support it." ”
Hou Baolin also knew the meaning of the leader, and began to explain: "I originally did not want my children to enter this industry, but since he chose so much, I will not stop it, but the ugly words have to be said to the front, since we must study hard, the literary and labor troupe must be treated equally, and there can be no other preferential treatment because he is my son." ”
When the leader heard this, he immediately laughed: "You can rest assured, our railway literary and industrial troupe does not engage in these virtual things, everything is based on strength." ”
As he spoke, the leader patted Hou Yaowen's shoulder and quipped, "What, do you regret it?" ”
Hou Yaowen proudly raised his small head and said, "No regrets! ”
At this time, Hou Yaowen's mind was full of silence in the joy of dream realization, and he had no idea how many hardships this road would have.
Nor would he have imagined that the most important people in his life would all meet here.
2、
After Hou Yaowen was admitted to the Railway Literary troupe as he wished, he was arranged to partner with Shi Fukuan.
Hou Yaowen has a deep family, has been in the theater since childhood, and has a good cross-talk foundation;
Shi Fukuan has been learning allegro and cross-talk since the fifth grade, and has even been admitted to the CCTV junior performance team.
When the two work together, they immediately have a chemical reaction and quickly stand out from many students.
But that was all, the two did not become famous for this, but followed the cultural troupe to Hebei to exercise and work with the Thirty-eighth Army.
It was not until 1974 that Hou Yaowen was transferred to Yantai, Shandong.
Upon hearing this, Shi Fukuan said that he was not happy about anything, and said that he would follow him to Yantai.
After all these years of eating and living together, working together to sharpen their acting skills, the friendship has long been not comparable to ordinary partners.
The leaders of the cultural and labor troupe also knew that it was a little impersonal to forcibly break up the two men, so they agreed.
After the two arrived in Yantai, they no longer had to be busy with work, they could concentrate on creation, and in just two years, the two created a series of excellent works, and gradually emerged in the industry.
But in contrast, Hou Yaowen's marriage has always become a heart disease in the regiment.
At that time, "more children and more blessings" was still the mainstream idea, and most people already had two children at Hou Yaowen's age, and Hou Yaowen did not even have a girlfriend now.
Previously, the cultural and labor troupe was in the countryside of Hebei, and it was indeed impossible to have a chance, but it is understandable that now it can no longer delay anything.
So the leader of the troupe came forward and introduced the dancer Liu Yan to Hou Yaowen, and the two soon held a wedding.
But marriage did not become a reason for Hou Yaowen to stop.
In 1979, when Hou Yaowen held his wedding, Hou Yaowen first went to Heilongjiang to perform.
Then he rushed to Beijing to attend the Fourth Congress of Chinese Literary and Art Workers, which was recognized by his father Hou Baolin.
Hou Yaowen also ran for membership of the All-China Youth Federation and was successfully elected.
Not only that, but he even participated in the condolence group and performed for the frontline fighters.
It can be said that this year's time was full of arrangements by Hou Yaowen, but there was no time to accompany his wife Liu Yan.
But if therefore, it is not very accurate to say that the two have no emotional basis.
After all, in that era, most couples knew each other in this way, and even many couples lived apart for a long time because they went to the countryside.
It can only be said that the married life of the two is very ordinary, like the epitome of most families in that era.
In the second year of marriage, the two had their own daughter Hou Zhan, and Hou Yaowen's "daughter slave" attribute was completely activated.
In addition to work, the rest of the time is spent with her daughter, gradually ignoring the emotions of her wife, and sometimes she can't say a few words to her wife all day long.
In particular, after Hou Yaowen grasped the right to speak in the industry, he has been committed to promoting the innovation and development of traditional cross-talk.
At the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983, Hou Yaowen and his partner Shi Fu broadbanded the traditional cross-talk "Speaking politely", bringing cross-talk back to the public's vision.
Since then, Hou Yaowen has been like a banner, leading the team to go abroad for exchanges many times, and the number of times he has returned home throughout the year is countless.
Slowly, Hou Yaowen's neglect of his wife also triggered the dissatisfaction of his wife Liu Yan.
Several times when his daughter Hou Zhan was crying and looking for her father, Liu Yan not only did not coax the child, but said that Hou Yaowen was a "bad father".
One day, Hou Yaowen had just finished his work and rushed back to see Hou Zhan, wanting to hug Hou Zhan.
Hou Zhan was young and ignorant, and subconsciously wanted to come forward to hug, but was pulled back by his mother Liu Yan.
"Do you still know to come back?"
Liu Yan was not angry in his heart, Hou Yaowen left for several days, and the first reaction when he came back was to find his daughter, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
In fact, at this time, as long as Hou Yaowen said a few soft words and coaxed his wife, this matter would be considered a turning point.
But don't look at Hou Yaowen's high achievements in art, but for the emotion is still like Xiao Bai, seeing his wife angry, he is only embarrassed and smiling, and did not say anything to apologize.
Seeing Hou Yaowen's appearance, Liu Yan became even more angry, and pulled his daughter Hou Zhan away, completely ignoring Hou Yaowen's face.
It's just that poor Hou Zhan is sandwiched in the middle, while she longs for her father's hug, and at the same time does not want to make her mother sad.
In the end, Hou Zhan still chose to follow his mother, but his eyes frequently fell on his father Hou Yaowen's body, hoping that his parents could be reconciled as before.
It's just a pity that Hou Zhan's wish will eventually fail.
In 1990, Hou Yaowen's marriage to Liu Yan came to an end, the two formally divorced, and the child was awarded to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan said to Hou Zhan, "It was your father who failed us both, he is no longer your father!" ”
This sentence planted a thorn in the heart of the young Hou Zhan, and the resentment towards his father was always hidden in his heart.
But in fact, Hou Zhan is still very eager for his father's love, and often takes advantage of his mother's lack of attention to secretly look at the VCD of his father Hou Yaowen's performance.
She wanted to call her father more than once, but when she thought of her mother, she resisted the idea.
In fact, Hou Yaowen was also missing his daughter.
Hou Zhan's photos have always been treasured by Hou Yaowen closely, and wherever they go, they will be taken out to show off.
Every time when he was busy, Hou Yaowen always came to Liu Yan's house for the first time, hoping to see his daughter, but he was blocked by Liu Yan every time.
Even if Hou Yaowen creates the opportunity of "chance encounters", Hou Zhan will soon be pulled away by Liu Yan.
As a result, the father and daughter have not had the opportunity to talk in detail, and the misunderstanding between the two has become more and more serious.
Especially in 1993, after Hou Yaowen remarried, there was a deep estrangement between the father and daughter.
Hou Zhan locked everything about his father in a drawer and never wanted to see it again.
Even if hou Yaowen is sometimes "coincidentally" met on the road, Hou Zhan is also treated as a stranger, and he does not greet one.
The so-called "blessings are incomparable to misfortunes."
In the year of Hou Yaowen's remarriage, Hou Yaowen's father, Hou Baolin, was also seriously ill and hospitalized.
3、
At the time of Hou Baolin's death, what he could not rest assured of was the issue of his son Hou Yaowen's inheritance.
He knew that Hou Yaowen had always hoped to worship the cross-talk master Chang Baohua as a teacher, but Hou Baolin, who had been strong all his life, did not agree at all.
In the words of Hou Baolin: "Saying anything cannot let the living take advantage!" ”
There are two main reasons for this.
First, at this time, Hou Yaowen was already well-known in the industry, and Hou Baolin did not want to be taken advantage of.
The second reason is that if Hou Yaowen worships Chang Baohua, then according to the rules, Chang Baohua is half a head taller than Hou Baolin.
It is precisely for this reason that Hou Yaowen does not agree.
But it was not a matter of the son's delay in visiting the teacher.
Unlike other music and art circles, cross-talk is the place that pays the most attention to the relationship between teachers and teachers, without the inheritance of teachers, Hou Yaowen will never be able to climb the cross-talk family tree, nor can he get the recognition of the cross-talk community.
Hou Baolin saw that he was getting weaker and weaker, and he didn't want to delay his son any longer, so he quietly taught the cross-talk actor Wang Ping to his side, and instructed: "Your third uncle worships the master, please ask you..."
Wang Ping wondered for a moment.
Hou Baolin was the sixth generation of cross-talk masters, and Wang Ping himself was the eighth generation, and Hou Yaowen was divided into his uncles' generations, so how dare he advocate Hou Yaowen's worship of the master without authorization.
Wang Ping informed his master Li Boxiang of this time.
Li Boxiang immediately understood that Hou Baolin was nodding at himself, wanting to let himself take the apprentice on behalf of the teacher.
There are two reasons, one is that Li Boxiang's master Zhao Peiru and Hou Baolin's contemporaries died of illness as early as 1973, which just responded to Hou Baolin's saying that "the living should not take advantage".
The second reason for this is to start from the relationship between the two veins.
Hou Baolin's master was Zhu Kuoquan, and his master was Jiao Dehai.
Zhao Peiru was the eldest disciple of Jiao Shaohai (also known as Jiao Shouhai), and Jiao Shaohai's father was Jiao Dehai.
It is precisely because of this relationship that the disciples of the two veins have always been very close.
Hou Baolin's idea is also "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", but it is better to be cheap to his own family.
After understanding this, Li Boxiang also stopped being sentimental and set up a teacher-inheritance relationship in front of Hou Baolin's hospital bed.
Hou Baolin, who had a wish, died of illness in February 1993.
In December 1994, Hou Yaowen was also pulled by Li Boxiang to join Zhao Peiru's disciples.
At this point, Hou Yaowen has completely gained a firm foothold in the cross-talk industry and become a "self-person" recognized by the industry.
Compared with his career, Hou Yaowen's family has not been smooth.
On the one hand, Hou Yaowen wanted to reconcile with Hou Zhan, but he could not find an opportunity.
On the other hand, Hou Yaowen's second marriage was not satisfactory, especially after the birth of the youngest daughter, the relationship between husband and wife began to plummet.
In 2004, history repeated, Hou Yaowen divorced again, and his daughter Yu Yu was sentenced to his wife Yuan Yin.
This incident hit Hou Yaowen very hard, and Hou Yaowen drank too much at the dinner together, and couldn't help but cry with a headache: "My father deserves to be too much of a failure!" ”
Looking at Hou Yaowen holding the photo of his daughter and crying bitterly, several friends also couldn't bear it and quietly ran to find Hou Zhan to do work.
Hou Zhan is not without feelings for her father, and she also remembers her father's kindness to herself, but this knot cannot be untied for a while and a half.
Until later, Hou Zhan became seriously ill, and Hou Yaowen rushed to his daughter's hospital after finishing the work at hand.
It was the middle of the night, and her daughter Hou Zhan was already asleep.
Hou Yaowen was worried about disturbing his daughter's rest, so he crouched at the door of the ward.
He borrowed a pen and paper from the nurse and wrote a letter of apology for his daughter.
At that time, some nurses could not bear it, so they persuaded Hou Yaowen to go to the nurses' station to rest.
Hou Yaowen shook his head and refused: "I'm afraid my daughter won't see me when she gets up..."
When the nurses saw this, they no longer persuaded each other.
Who knew that this wait was exactly two hours, until Hou Zhan got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, only to find Hou Yaowen crouching outside the door and sleeping.
At this moment, Hou Zhan's heart was completely melted, and the original resentment dissipated in an instant.
She couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into Hou Yaowen's arms: "Daddy! ”
Hou Zhan finally got his wish and said this title.
Hou Yaowen waited for half a lifetime, and finally waited for this title.
Since then, the father and daughter have reconciled so well, and everything has been like a dream.
Unfortunately, this kind of dream is life, and it has not lasted long.
In 2007, just when Hou Yaowen was calling to prepare a surprise to his daughter Hou Zhan, bad news came and Hou Yaowen was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital.
When Hou Zhan learned of this news, he was like a wooden chicken and could not speak for a long time.
Hou Zhan couldn't believe that this was true, nor did he want to believe that his father, Hou Yaowen, who had called him earlier and had a smile, was already lying on the hospital bed in the blink of an eye.
Hou Zhan was confused, not knowing how he got to his father's spiritual hall, nor how he faced his father's friends before he died.
She just nodded mechanically and shook hands, as if her father's departure had taken her soul with her.
During this time, Hou Zhan has been silent in the pain of losing his father, and he feels that he has no spirit in doing anything.
How she wished her father would come back to her, even if it was just a simple hug.
Unfortunately, "the tree wants to be quiet and the wind is not stopping, and the son wants to raise and not to be treated", and some things are doomed to be irreparable.
As the days passed, Hou Zhan was relieved from the pain of losing his father, and suddenly heard another news.
Her father, Hou Yao, left an inheritance for her before tattooing.
At this time, Hou Zhan wondered, and he did not receive a penny.
She went to look for her father's most proud disciple, Guo Degang.
Guo Degang said: "There is indeed such a thing. ”
Only the details, that is, the Hou family's private affairs, that is, Guo Degang did not know much.
When Hou Zhan heard this, he was immediately furious, guessing that it must have been monopolized by that sister.
So in 2009, a complaint suddenly took his sister Yu Yu to court, demanding that the inheritance be divided.
After all, from a legal point of view, Hou Zhan also had the right to inherit.
Soon, the results of the court's investigation came out, but Hou Yaowen did not leave a will before his death, but only asked his brother Hou Yaohua to preside over the division of the family's inheritance.
Hou Yaohua said that because her niece was still young, she temporarily managed it on her behalf and waited until her niece became an adult before distributing them
Hearing this, Hou Zhan was immediately unhappy, and said that the two sisters had a penny.
So she and her sister took Hou Yaohua to court.
This matter has been boiling for a while, and many people in the industry have also stood up.
A group of people led by Guo Degang believed that Hou Yaohua had privately taken possession of Hou Yaowen's estate and should make it public and hand it over to the court for ruling.
A group of people led by Hou Yaohua's disciples believed that since Mr. Hou Yaowen had handed over the right to divide the inheritance to Hou Yaohua before his death, Hou Yaohua had the right to deal with the distribution of the inheritance, and this inheritance did not say no, but had to wait for Hou Yaowen's younger daughter to decide after she became an adult.
The two factions publicly claimed that the public was justified and the wife was justified, and they quarreled in front of the media.
The matter was also difficult to define in the court, and it took a year and a half to go around before it was settled out of court.
Hou Yaowen could not have imagined that his dying words would actually cause a break in the family.
In terms of artistic contributions, Hou Yaowen is a well-deserved master, and even surpassed his father Hou Baolin in the industry.
However, in terms of family feelings, Hou Yaowen's approach inevitably arouses our reflection.
In the face of his wife, he did not know how to express his love.
In the face of children, I don't know how to show concern.
But in front of outsiders, he did not hesitate to praise his daughter.
It can be said that Hou Yaowen's approach represents a large part of the image of the father at that time.
It is precisely for this reason that Hou Yaowen's father and daughter have difficulty reaching a reconciliation for a long time.
We often say that children do not understand their parents, but in fact, when all children are born, they only know their parents in the world, and only recognize their parents.
It's just that we push the child to the outside world step by step, forcing him to know the outside world.
We form values in our world, and they understand the world the way they do, only to end up pushing back with a "generation gap."
I only hope that parents and children can have more understanding and more identification.
I hope that all families can be harmonious, and I hope that the regrets of Hou Yaowen and Hou Zhan will not repeat themselves.
