At the Spring Festival Gala in 1996, the sketch "The Adventure of Part-time Work" became an eternal classic.
The content tells the story of an old rural lady who works in the Queen's Restaurant. In the restaurant, a cup of water with two pots sold for 180 yuan a cup.
The old lady in the countryside did not want to dance with the wolf, and eventually resigned, and reported the black-hearted restaurant to the price bureau.
There is a line in the skit that will be sung by later generations, that is, "court jade liquor, one hundred and eight cups".
So you know what? This line actually helped the state capture a "spy" who stole secrets years later. Perhaps even the actor Himself did not expect that his two ordinary sketch lines could become the key evidence for solving the case.
Although it seems to be a plot that can only happen in a TV series, this incident is happening in reality. What the hell is going on here?
How was this "spy" pulled out step by step? Who is this actor? Let's walk into today's story and explore a classic that will be passed down forever.
Shunto touched the melon, and the "spy" surfaced:
Espionage refers to those who are secretly sent by intelligence agencies to the target country to steal secrets, in short, those who go to other countries to steal secrets and carry out sabotage operations.
In the eyes of ordinary people, spies generally appear in war years. However, in fact, spies are all-pervasive, and some humble people around you may be spies.
In 2019, there is a city in the south of the mainland that is very unstable, and things are getting bigger and bigger as things get worse. The government began to wonder if anyone was obstructing it.
The government therefore set up a task force to investigate the matter, but eventually had to stop the investigation because there was no evidence.
In 2020, one claiming to be a northeasternErn China posted remarks online. After reading the content, I found that this person was calm on the surface and wanted everyone to put aside their hatred and understand each other.
But in fact, it is fanning the flames and breeding class contradictions. It is worth mentioning that his actions attracted the attention of a witty netizen.
Netizens found that the way he spoke and the mode of thinking did not look like a Chinese. As a Chinese, self-introductions generally don't mention their address.
Only when it comes to some related issues will we reveal our identity, south or north.
As the saying goes, "the influence of culture on people is subtle, profound and lasting." This kind of common sense knowledge believes that every Chinese will understand, and there is no need to put it on the surface, so this netizen who calls himself a northeasterner definitely has a problem.
Soon, netizens moved out a familiar line to test the true situation of this person.
He asked, "Do you know what the next sentence of the court jade liquor is?" Claiming that northeasterners began to fool netizens, he replied: "I am older and can't understand your words."
This sentence immediately exposed the identity of this netizen, because all the older people more or less know Zhao Lirong's 1996 sketch "The Adventure of Part-time Work".
"There must be a demon when things happen", and soon witty netizens sent the message to the police. After a short period of investigation, the police immediately arrested and brought the foreign "spy" to justice.
At this time, the People's Daily also issued an article reminding the general public to beware of foreigners in the surrounding areas at any time and be careful of their ulterior motives.
If the actor who starred in "The Adventure of Part-time Work" knew that her work more than 20 years ago helped the police successfully arrest the "spy", she would be very happy!
How to see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain:
The actor, zhao lirong, was born in 1928 in Tangshan, Hebei. When she was a child, Zhao Lirong's family conditions were not good, the family population was large, the labor force was small, and the family often did not have enough to eat and wear.
In order to change the status quo, my father took all his savings to Shanghai to work and earn money. The weather was unpredictable, and my father was deceived by his partners in Shanghai, and finally ended up with no return.
After a slump, my father was still contaminated with drugs. Fortunately, a brother did not give up on his father, he introduced his father to a job in a theater, and later with the help of the theater, Zhao Lirong's family lived in it.
Although he lived in poverty, he also spent the days of wind and food and sleep.
Once the theater needed a child to play a role, and zhao Lirong was selected to finally play. What everyone did not expect was that Zhao Lirong's acting talent was very high, not only performing properly, but also not afraid of the stage.
At the age of 12, Zhao Lirong followed her master to learn to sing and comment, and at the age of 17, Zhao Lirong starred in the movie "Du Shiniang" throughout Shanghai and became a household name for female stars.
This year, he met his first husband Shengqiang, because both sides had a good feeling, under the mediation of others, they finally walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
After marriage, Zhao Lirong soon gave birth to a son, and it was not long before she became pregnant with a second child. But it is regrettable that the second child was not yet born, and Shengqiang died unexpectedly.
Seeing Zhao Lirong pulling two children alone, her brother couldn't bear it. So he introduced shengqiang's younger brother Shenghong, and at first Zhao Lirong refused.
But Sheng Hong impressed Zhao Lirong with his meticulous care and companionship day and night, and the two eventually married naturally. Although her life is full, Zhao Lirong has been declining in her career.
Because of marriage and children, Zhao Lirong gradually faded out of the public eye.
When a new person laughs, there will be an old man crying, and it is obvious that Zhao Lirong is the latter. It's just that Zhao Lirong, who is strong, did not give up, and he practiced judging dramas for ten years, and finally returned to the show business circle by relying on "Flowers as Media".
At that time, chairman Mao saw several commentaries on "Flowers as Media" and "Little Two Black Marriages", and specially invited to meet the main actors, and Zhao Lirong, who was the second female number one, was also in the invitation line.
Interestingly, Zhao Lirong declined the invitation. She said, "Greetings to Chairman Mao on my behalf!" My artistic skills are relatively shallow, and I still have to hone them. And I don't have the culture yet, and I didn't know what to say in the past."
In 1988, the 60-year-old Zhao Lirong completely withdrew from the drama critics circle and gave up the opportunity to young people. Afterwards, Zhao Lirong frantically pondered her acting skills, and she transformed into a showbiz circle.
After entering the show business circle, her life is like riding on a rocket, and the Che Chi King in "Journey to the West" has left a deep impression.
In the same year, she and You Benchang co-starred in the sketch "Emergency Department" and attracted countless praise. Since then, she has ventured into the world of sketches.
In 1989, she cooperated with Hou Yaowen to perform "A Day of a Heroic Mother", and the classic line "Sima Cylinder Smashing Light" made countless audiences laugh.
In 1992, Zhao Lirong showed her loud singing voice to the audience for the first time in "Mother's Today", and a song "Bittersweet Hua Nian" shocked everyone.
In 1993, Rock Grandma Zhao Lirong aroused countless post-80s rock dreams, and the song "String your heart and my heart, string it into a lucky grass, string a concentric circle" became the focus of the Spring Festival Gala. Of course, the brilliance that belongs to Zhao Lirong does not stop there.
Classics forever:
At the Scene of the Spring Festival Gala in 1996, Zhao Lirong wrote down the four big characters of "Genuine Goods" with her wrist hanging. People who have seen the sketch know that Teacher Zhao Lirong's four words are strong and quite artistic.
In order to be able to write these four words on the spring evening, Teacher Zhao Lirong practiced at home for three months, and every day she put pen and ink on practice from day to night.
As the saying goes, "one minute on stage, ten years off stage", in 1996, Zhao Lirong's "Adventures of Migrant Work" became a classic sung by people. In 1995, Zhao Lirong's body suffered from illness.
"Fourteen five six flowers bloom in the spring, ah June six I see Gu Xiuchun hit six or nine heads..." This commentary-flavored Rap is mixed with a graceful dance, which makes the audience applaud.
But what everyone didn't know was that just after the performance, Zhao Lirong was helped off the stage.
It turned out that three months before the spring festival gala, her knee was detected to be cracked, and she should have been safe to undergo surgery and then recover from her injuries. However, Zhao Lirong endured the physical pain out of her dedication to art and insisted on participating in the Spring Festival Gala.
Every time she rehearsed, Zhao Lirong would try her best to do her best, and when it was over, she would slump in her chair and rest for a long time.
That spring evening, Zhao Lirong, who had been on the stage for a long time because of her injuries, also made a mistake, and at the end of the stage, Zhao Lirong directly stumbled to her knees on the ground.
At that time, the audience thought that the details were arranged in advance, and they clapped their hands and applauded. As everyone knows, Zhao Lirong's kneeling just touched the bone, and this pain was no less than directly making her kneel on the nail.
Although Zhao Lirong's life is extremely bumpy, she still makes unremitting efforts and persists in dedicating good works. Her work "New Year" won the Tokyo International Film Awards, the first woman in China to win the award.
She embarked on the peak of acting at the age of sixty, and brought beautiful sketches to everyone at the Spring Festival Gala seven times. In 1995 and 1996, "So Packaged" and "The Adventure of Part-time Work" won the first prize of the Spring Festival Gala.
The roof leaked during the overnight rain, and Zhao Lirong, a teacher who dedicated herself to art in 1999, was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. At that time, she even had a problem with eating normally, but she still appeared on the stage at the Spring Festival Gala that year, bringing everyone the show "The Veteran Out of the Horse".
She was smiling on stage, and off stage she was in so much pain that she could only rely on drugs to support her. In 2000, her condition completely deteriorated, and her daily chemotherapy was so painful that she thought about euthanizing herself with medication many times.
In July 2000, Zhao Lirong, the queen of a generation of sketches, passed away at the age of 72.
On the day of the memorial service, Zhao Benshan, Gong Hanlin, Feng Gong and other people from half the performing arts circle came to BabaoShan to send off Zhao Lirong. In addition, more than 30,000 spectators gathered at the scene.
They were filled with tears and their voices choked, expressing their sorrow and reluctance at the departure of the People's Artist.
After thousands of hammers and hammers to experience the real art, Zhao Lirong has been conscientiously working since art for more than 60 years, constantly seeking breakthroughs in the artistic level.
Even in the face of suffering and pain, she still bravely moved forward. Such a person deserves to be called a people's artist!
