In 1988, Guo Degang, who was still a 15-year-old hairy boy, entered Beijing for the first time and was admitted to a newly established rap group of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Literary and Labor Troupe.
There was a young man in the group who was five years older than him, who was as bad as him, and two people of similar age and similar interests became difficult brothers, and they worked together in the group and partnered together in the performance.
The twenty-year-old young man loved to drink, and when he was drunk, when he was poor, he borrowed money to buy wine to drink.
Guo Degang had been his creditor, and the young man wrote him an IOU saying that when he had money, he would definitely pay back the wine money.
Unfortunately, things were uncertain, and not long after, the activities of the regiment were forced to terminate due to some force majeure, and seeing that life was getting more and more difficult, Guo Degang had no choice but to return to his hometown in Tianjin.
After that, he studied with Yang Zhigang, and little by little, he trained from a no-one street artist to become the premier cross-talk master in China.
The young man who borrowed money from him became an excellent cross-talk actor like him, but he did not become an evergreen tree, but became a dazzling meteor.
The young man who borrowed money from Guo Degang was named Lobsang, who was popular all over the country at the age of 25, but died unexpectedly at the age of 27 due to drunk driving. The eight-dollar IOU left for Guo Degang never had the chance to pay it back again.
After he left, the cross-talk master Yin Bolin did not take any more apprentices for ten years for him; the famous cross-talk actor Ma Ji also described him as a genius who "did not see the ancients before, and did not see the comers after".
Lausanne, a man who died young at the age of 27 and has been dead for 27 years, what kind of charm is there?
His parents always expressed doubts about the inside story of the liquor bureau described by his mentor, was it the old man's love for his son, or was there really another hidden feeling?
Like Ding Zhen, who has been on fire in recent years, Lobsang is also a Tibetan man from Sichuan. His father was Tibetan, his mother was Han, and his mother gave him a Han name, yang hong.
Lausanne inherited his father's artistic talent from an early age, can sing and dance, and has a particularly strong learning ability. He liked to imitate his father's song, imitate the birdsong in the forest, and imitate it very well.
In Kangding, surrounded by green mountains and rivers, Lausanne grew up freely and happily to the age of 13 with a variety of beautiful music.
At the age of 13, Lobsang was admitted to the Music and Dance Department of the Central University for Nationalities with outstanding talent.
On the day I got the acceptance letter, the whole village came to congratulate the people in the village, and in the small county town that was relatively isolated in the 80s, college students like Lausanne undoubtedly brought glory to the people in the village.
It was the first highlight of Lausanne's life, and it was something that his parents were always proud of.
Until decades later, Lausanne's mother proudly held out two fingers to the host in an interview: the school recruited two out of thousands of children in our Kangding district, one girl, and the other was my son.
At that time, Lobsang, who was still a child, was infected by the hopes of his parents and the joy of the villagers, thinking that if he was admitted to college, he could go out of his hometown, see farther scenery, have a smoother life, be able to perform his own songs and dances on a larger stage, show his talents, and let his parents live a better life.
The future seems bright, but the reality is not satisfactory. Not long after entering college, Lausanne realized that his dream as a dancer was to disappear.
Dancers have high requirements for body shape and limbs, and pursue symmetry and slenderness. When I first entered the university, Lausanne was still a young boy who had not yet developed, so naturally there was no problem.
Unfortunately, after entering puberty, he gradually developed into a strong Khampa man.
His round face and fleshy waist made him lose his dream of dancing, and he also lost the status of the youngest "group pet" in the class.
However, the distressed Lobsang still did not give up the instructions given to him by his mother before coming to Beijing: "Don't cause trouble, study well." ”
Therefore, although the appearance conditions are contrary to most dancers, Lausanne still studied hard and achieved excellent results, and was admitted to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Literary and Labor Troupe after graduation.
That year, he was 18 years old, and he once again lit up hope for life, and he was once again slapped by life.
In the cultural and labor troupe in the 1980s, there were too many people, and young people like Lausanne, who had a talent and enthusiasm, but had no qualifications, and their figures were still relatively strong, could only slowly survive from scratch.
But can Lausanne bear such a life?
As a child, he was the most astute and intelligent child in the village, and in college he was the youngest and most favored brother, and he was a talented and talented student.
However, in the literary troupe, he could only do some miscellaneous work of bringing tea and water and moving the table in obscurity, and from time to time he had to endure the scolding of the leaders and the indifference of his predecessors. This gap is not a small blow to Lausanne.
Fortunately, soon after, he met a stupid brother who was just as unlucky as him, 15-year-old Guo Degang.
Unlike Lausanne, Guo Degang has no higher education, and grew up in the study of book commentary and cross-talk since he was a child, and his humor, optimism and enthusiasm have attracted Lausanne, and since then, the two depressed young people have formed a pair of good brothers who work together and talk about everything.
Unfortunately, there is no scattered feast in the world, Guo Degang in the second year of entering the cultural and labor troupe, he encountered some special circumstances, the activities of the cultural and labor troupe could not continue, Guo Degang could not survive, a throw of hands to invite friends to eat a casual meal, and then packed up his luggage back to Tianjin.
Lobsang's situation is as dazed as Guo Degang's, but he can't go back to his hometown like Guo Degang, he walks out of Kham with the hope of the whole village, if he just walks back, then what is the experience of many years of university life and literary and labor troupe?
Therefore, even if he stayed in the literary troupe, his future was still uncertain, and Lausanne did not choose to leave.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before he met a confidant who had changed his life.
In 1989, shortly after Guo Degang left, Yin Bolin was transferred to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions.
His origin and growth experience are different from Guo Degang's grassroots origin, nor is it different from the way He grew up in the nature of Lausanne and then received a systematic education, he was born in an artistic family, and he was versatile from an early age, with musical instruments, songs, dances, and performances at his fingertips.
But he is so excellent, and his career is not very smooth.
At the age of 18, Lausanne had been admitted to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Literary and Labor Corps, while Yin Bolin, at the age of 18, had failed to apply for the Military Cultural and Labor Corps.
When he met Lausanne in the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Literary and Labor Corps, Yin Bolin was 33 years old, a full round older than Lausanne.
However, this age gap did not affect the two to become friends, and the two who also loved to drink and imitate quickly got into a hot fight.
Yin Bolin's brain is flexible, since both of them are so capable, why not make a combination to break in?
Lobsang listened with a full mouth of promise, after all, it was better not to be famous than to be so obscure now. He simply worshiped Yin Bolin as a teacher, and since then he has embarked on a cooperative journey in the name of master and apprentice.
At the age of 25, Lausanne, who had been defeated many times, finally ushered in the second highlight of his life.
His combination with Yin Bolin went smoothly, the two people sang a harmony on the stage, on top of the basic cross-talk added Lausanne is particularly good at imitation, on the empty stage, Lausanne without the help of any props, can simulate the sound of various animals, musical instruments, he will also according to the content of his imitation, with a variety of funny and vivid body movements, won the applause of the whole hall.
The two of them, who were little famous, were invited to participate in CCTV's then gold medal program "Quyuan Zatan" and performed the "Lausanne Learning Art" series of cross-talk, which became a hit.
After that, Lobsang and Yin Bolin participated in the CCTV "New Moon" evening and the National Day party of Hong Kong compatriots to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and won the "94 Newcomer Award" issued by the China Qu Artists Association, known as one of the most popular comedians in 1994, with a bright future.
At that time, Lausanne had been 12 years away from Kham. The little boy who used to have the dream of "studying well" finally stood on a bigger stage, so that his family could see his performance in a distant hometown.
The economic conditions of Lausanne, which had a smooth career, were also improved, and he invited his parents to come to Beijing to live with him, and their parents gladly agreed.
He drove to the train station to pick up his parents, took them to visit Beijing's well-known attractions, and left a precious group photo.
Things are moving in a good direction.
Perhaps at that time, Lobsang's heart was full of infinite hope for the future, maybe he would become a generation of comedians, let his parents live a rich life, and maybe he would start his own family soon after, but no one thought that shortly after taking his parents to Beijing, Lausanne had a sudden accident, and happiness came to an abrupt end.
On October 2, 1995, Lausanne took his parents to a friend party, at the banquet, Lausanne pulled his mother to sing, someone took a camera to record this scene, who knows, this is The last shot of Lausanne left in the world.
After the party, Lausanne went to socialize with Yin Bolin again, so he found a car to send his parents home first.
Lausanne's parents habitually said goodbye to their son when they got into the car, not thinking that this was the last sight.
After Lobsang left the second drinking game, he drove home alone, and suddenly had a car accident on the road, and died due to the ineffectiveness of rescue.
After investigation by the relevant departments, it turned out that on the way home from Lausanne, there was a truck that broke down and was parked in the middle of the road for maintenance, and Lobsang was drunk and driving, the line of sight was not clear, and he did not pay attention to the cordon, so he crashed into the truck.
This caused an uproar at the time, after all, Lausanne was a hot comedian at the time, and he was only 27 years old when he died.
At that time, everyone's awareness of refusing drunk driving was still very weak, and many people lamented the untimely death of Lausanne, and some people took it as a warning. The relevant departments have strengthened the supervision of drunk driving.
Of course, there is no shortage of unfounded speculations, after all, Lausanne was popular at that time, who knows if there are any hidden secrets in this?
But Lausanne's parents, although the pain of losing their son is indescribable, also accept this fact, because they know Lausanne's drunken temperament, and they are not surprised that such a thing as drunk driving happened to Lausanne.
This matter originally passed like this, but I did not expect that 20 years after the death of Lausanne, yin Bolin, an old partner who was also a teacher and friend, suddenly said a little-known episode that happened at the liquor bureau that day. And Yin Bolin's statement once again pushed Lausanne into the public criticism, and it was also difficult for Lobsang's parents to accept.
In 2015, on a variety show, Yin Bolin said the reason for Lobsang's drunk driving.
It turned out that there was a foreign friend at the liquor store that day who could say Chinese, and Lobsang, who had drunk some wine, pulled the people with great interest and asked, "Do you know me?" ”
Who knew that the foreign friend was also Geng Zhi, and replied directly in front of a crowd of people: "I don't know." ”
At that time, Lobsang, who was proud of the spring breeze and was flattered everywhere he went, could bear such a punch, and he was ashamed and angry that he was going to go home, and even Yin Bolin could not be persuaded.
But Lausanne was already drunk at that time, and it was no wonder that the cordon could not be seen while driving.
To this day, Lausanne has been dead for 27 years, exactly the same age as he was. In the past 27 years, his parents still regard him as proud, his mentor has never accepted any more apprentices, and his good friend Guo Degang will occasionally take out the eight-dollar IOU that he never had the opportunity to pay back.
If Lobsang were still alive, would he now become a cross-talk master with the same name as Guo Degang? Will he become an old artist who brings joy to everyone at the Spring Festival Gala every year?
None of these assumptions had a chance to be confirmed, only the shows he had left behind, still proving the outstanding talent of this "cross-talk genius" who died young
