The first time - the first time I met, I wanted to visit the teacher
In 1990, when I was eight years old, in my grandfather's black-and-white television set, I saw the figure of a storyteller, who was telling the story of "Yang Jiajian", which should be the time when Meng Liang went to the Liao Kingdom to steal the empress's hair in order to save Yang Yanzhao!

The first time I heard someone tell a story like this, I later learned that it was called a storyteller, so I fell in love with the storyteller, and I was even more obsessed with this storyteller, Mr. Tian Lianyuan!
Mr. Tian was born in a family of quyi artists, his grandfather was a famous Cangzhou wooden board artist, and his father first said the Northeast Big Drum, and then changed it to the West River Big Drum. Influenced by his family since childhood, Mr. Tian was nine years old and worshipped Wang Qisheng (father of cross-talk actor Wang Peiyuan) as a teacher, learning to sing the Xihe drum and practicing three strings.
Mr. Tian's childhood experienced the fire of war, helplessly can only follow his parents to the east and west, wandering the rivers and lakes, in 1948, only to settle down, settled in Tianjin, when going to school, Mr. Tian was very hardworking, and excellent character, was once rated as a "model child" by the school.
If it were not for his father's serious illness, Mr. Tian might have become a scientist, but as the eldest son, he needed to carry too much, in order to reduce the burden on the family, he chose to drop out of school to pursue art, although he only received 5 years of formal education and did not obtain a diploma. But with his own wisdom and hard work, relying on borrowing classmates' textbooks, he completed the liberal arts courses of junior high school, high school and university by himself, and in the leisure of learning and art, he read famous miscellaneous works to broaden his horizons.
In my childhood, his book reviews grew up with me, and I didn't know his experience as a teenager at the time, but in my youth, he gave me a relaxed mood! I would record my favorite chapters, listen to them repeatedly and even recite them, and at that time I was naïve to think that if I memorized them well, Mr. Tian would not accept me as an apprentice!
The second time - haunting the dream, "Little Eight Righteousness"

At that time, there was no network, the information was not developed enough, and if you wanted to listen to The works of Teacher Tian, you could only listen to music and art programs such as "TV Bookstore" and "Quyuan Zatan", and even gave up watching cartoons, and at that time I also listened to a lot of classics:
"Water Margin Character Biography", "Liu Xiu Biography"
"Shi Gong Case", "Bao Gong Case"
"Hai QingTian", "Blood Splash Tsumon"
"Mirror Flower Edge", "Sui and Tang Heroes"
"WagangZhai", "Book of Swords and Vengeance"
When the action is free, he is Liu Xiu who climbs across the tiger;
When full of dialects, he is the resourceful Kou Zhun;
When the weeping willow is pulled upside down, he is lu zhishen who is thick and thin,
When Jingyang Gang fights the tiger, he is Wu Erlang who avenges his brother;
When the blood splashed in Tianjin, he was the anti-Japanese hero Hao Ming;
When he was hand-held, he was the Sui and Tang dynasty hero Qin Shubao;
…………
The various images of emperors, generals, thieves, commoners and so on he created in the commentary book are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he alone travels through ancient and modern time and space to take us to appreciate the charm of the commentary!
But what I dreamed most about was "Little Eight Righteousness", which was originally a long drum poem that had been circulating in the folk for a long time, adapted by Mr. Tian into a commentary, telling the story of Zhou Shun, the son of Emperor Huizong of Song, the fallen son Zhou Shun and his cousin Xu Wenbiao, the good Han wei of the jianghu, Chi Xiao, Tang Tieniu, the descendant of the good Han of Liangshan, Kong Sheng, Chang Shiqing, Hua Yunping, and Ruan Ying, who became xiao bayi, and eliminated adultery for the country and harm for the people. Later, it successively launched "Continuing Little Eight Righteousness", "Continuing Small Eight Righteousness", and "Three Continuations of Small Eight Righteousness"!
To tell the truth, these four books I heard from junior high school high school, at that time due to learning tension, parental compulsion, did not listen to the whole, I thought to wait for college to listen, but could not find resources, so I waited, until 2016, 20 years of expectations, or thanks to the development of the network, Mr. Tian re-recorded "Little Eight Righteousness", although many details have been deleted, but also a wish!
The third time - thank the "teacher" for fulfilling my dream

Large sets of words come at hand, and modern humorous language emerges endlessly!
I memorized a lot of Mr. Shi's passages, learned a lot of Mr. Mr. Speech skills, and also performed programs for my classmates, although I didn't really go to Mr. Shi, but I am very grateful to Mr. Shi, from listening to his commentaries, I learned a lot of knowledge!
I am now a professional lecturer, I can engage in this profession, and the language skills I laid down as a child have played a great role! So I am very grateful to Mr. Tian for always treating you as a "mentor"!
