He said: "My grandfather stayed in China, but I don't understand the charm of this country.
Why is Grandpa willing to leave his life's medical talents to the people here?
His name was Dashan, and he was dr. Rao's grandson.
Many people know Dashan, probably through CCTV programs, and also know that he and Jiang Kun are master-apprentice relationships.
But Dashan, a Canadian, loves China not just to the literary and artistic heritage.
Big mountains
He felt proud to be China's son-in-law.
He said his two children had half of their blood in their bodies and had Chinese genes.
So as a foreigner, why did Dashan come to China in the first place?
Why is he leaving now?
Is all this really as netizens speculate, because it can make money here.
Did you leave because you had made enough money?
To find the roots of the Chinese dream, love is really deeper than the sea
Oyama was born in Canada in 1969.
His family conditions are not bad, and his parents like to read current political news.
When the mountains were small, the yearning for China was not enthusiastic.
On the contrary, he was publicized by some Western media.
The initial impression of China was, on the contrary, unfriendly.
Some Western media always like to be extremely exaggerated, and Chinese cleverness is not used on the right path.
Even slander Chinese cunning.
But is this really the case?
The mountain was also suspicious.
Especially after he understands things, he will find that his friends have grandparents at home, but he does not.
He asked his mother where my grandfather had gone.
It turned out that Dashan had a grandfather who loved China, and he was Dr. Rao.
Oyama's grandfather
The story between Grandpa Dashan and China has to be told from 1922.
At that time, some churches in Canada voluntarily signed a number of cooperation projects with the Chinese Nationalist government.
They will send some foreign doctors to China to voluntarily treat the wounds and wounds of our military and civilians.
Dashan's grandparents are both believers in St. Paul's Church in Toronto.
They love medicine, but they also believe that treating diseases and saving people knows no borders.
So they came to the Battlefield of China with a sincere heart of faith in God.
At that time, the mainland was worried about internal and external troubles, and was in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal stage.
People looked at Dr. Rao and his wife with strange faces.
They all belong to blonde hair and blue eyes, which is typical of foreigner looks.
Early performances of the mountains
At first Chinese was very scared of them.
But in the subsequent exchanges, the two sides slowly found that they both had a friendly heart.
Dr. Rao believes that Chinese friendly and kind, not strongly aggressive.
It is also said that this is a friendly country.
However, at that time, China was in a lot of war, and the safety of Dr. Rao and his wife, who came here to treat the wounded, was also threatened.
Especially in 1925, it was affected by the international situation.
At that time, many foreigners wanted to leave China.
Dr. and Mrs. Rao originally lived in China with their three children.
But his two sons, however, fell seriously ill here and died one after another.
Dr. Rao and his wife buried them in China.
He said God would surely allow his two children to be well taken care of in this friendly country.
Even if they are reincarnated as human beings, they will not suffer too much.
Early performances of the mountains
Later, they successfully returned to their home country of Canada and gave birth to 4 children in a row.
And Oyama's father is the youngest of these 4 children.
However, due to the influence of the general environment at that time, the situation in Canada was not stable.
Of all Dr. Rao's children, only Dashan's father and an aunt survived healthily.
Unfortunately, Dr. Rao died of illness shortly after Dashan was born.
This past in the family has also deeply affected dashan.
He wondered what kind of place China really was.
Why did Grandpa live there for many years, even at the risk of war?
Big mountains
Grandpa still insisted on bringing his medical skills there to save countless lives and injuries Chinese?
Oyama then entered the University of Toronto with excellent academic results.
Perhaps it was because of this past that influenced his decision.
Therefore, when choosing a university major, Oyama first chose the Department of East Asia.
He said that he still desperately wanted to understand Chinese culture and wanted to see their history and humanities.
But this understanding was enough to affect the life of the mountain.
After that, all his stories were related to China.
And in the process, there is also a beautiful vignette.
It is the name of the mountain, and there is a very complicated transformation process.
At first, Oyama's parents gave him his real name, Mark Henry Roseville.
The name Rao and circumference, the mountain is the best to hear
Jiang Kun and Dashan
When he entered the Department of Chinese in Toronto, his professor gave him a Chinese name, Lu Shiwei.
This is a name derived from a transliteration of his real name.
So why did the Chinese audience affectionately call him Dashan?
The mountain that originally came from the Chinese tong has always been in a state of paper talk.
He learned about China's history through foreign education, so he always thought he knew a lot.
At this time, his mentor advised Dashan if he really wanted to understand the huge country of China.
It is necessary to go deep into the context to feel its humanities and feelings.
Otherwise, what you learn will always be the tip of the iceberg.
In 1988, after graduating from his alma mater, Dashan was given the opportunity to study at Peking University.
Learn Chinese
He walked with Chinese friends at the mouth of the old alley in our capital.
Learn how the uncles who sell sugar gourds canoe drink.
He said Chinese it's fun to speak, and a paragraph can say different flavors.
It's like selling sugar gourds, and people like to add an embellishment after they finish speaking.
Drink the sugar gourd into: sell sugar gourd...
He always felt that this way of speaking was very kind, and it was easy to attract the attention of pedestrians.
Originally, I thought it was a Chinese pass, but after I really came to the mainland to study.
Dashan also believes that the culture and feelings here are far deeper than he thinks.
In order to strengthen his studies, he made many friends in China.
They discussed literary and artistic creation together, the most typical program being 1989's "Night Return".
Early performances of the mountains
This skit, although there is not much trouble in the rehearsal process.
But there is a detail that everyone thinks should be repeatedly considered.
It turns out that the protagonist played by Dashan in this sketch is named Xu Qiujia, and the heroine is also called Yulan.
Do these two people's names sound like they didn't live in the same era?
They feel that they must also be rigorous in literary and artistic creation.
So I wanted to make Xu Qiujia's name more grounded.
Originally, in the eyes of Chinese, this should be a very simple question.
But I didn't expect that the work of changing the name finally fell on the mountain.
When he patted his head, he recalled coming to Peking University.
Some kind canteen aunts will give him a grounded nickname.
Oyama with classmates
Some aunts just called him Dashan.
He often said, "Come to the mountains, and auntie will add more dishes to you." ”
This back and forth, the small name of Dashan has spread to the ears of more students.
So when creating the sketch "Night Return", Dashan immediately changed Xu Qiujia's name to this more down-to-earth nickname.
Since then, Dashan has gained a more affectionate name in China.
People don't know who Lu Shiwei is talking about.
But you must know the mountain, it's about the Canadian who came to Beijing to study Chinese culture.
Skits return at night
Obviously, he likes sketch performances, why did Dashan eventually become a student of Jiang Kun?
It turned out that this work was returned to the night, and it was on the New Year's Day party of CCTV at that time.
Also starring in the same party were Jiang Kun and Tang Shijie.
The cross-talk show they performed together was called "Big News."
The performance was very successful, and Jiang Kun's cross-talk performance also showed the strange charm of Chinese culture.
This deeply attracted dashan, and he felt that who could say good to crosstalk, there was no stock in his stomach.
If you don't understand the history of the country and the local customs and customs, you may not be able to tell a single story.
But if you want to say good crosstalk, for this friend from a foreign country, it is not so simple.
At that time, Dashan had the idea of worshipping Jiang Kun as a teacher.
However, Jiang Kun's artistic attainment status in the mainland is very high, and it may be a little difficult for the Chinese people to worship him as a teacher.
Dashan's master Jiang Kun
Can this foreign friend, Teacher Jiang Kun, accept him as an apprentice?
Worship the cross-talk community and become a Chinese disciple
Unexpectedly, Dashan was still very persistent about learning cross-talk, and he visited the door twice.
I also convey my sincere desire to worship the teacher.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, Jiang Kun was really touched by this foreign friend.
Since then, Dashan has become the fourth generation of Jiang Kun's name and Hou Pai Xiangsheng.
Dashan said, "Chinese is very polite, and the worshipper must also have a sense of ceremony." ”
So they put up a banner at Peking University, serving tea and bowing.
He didn't think the processes were cumbersome.
On the contrary, behind every detail, it reflects the charm of Chinese culture.
The mountain when talking stand-up comedy
He also said that Chinese has respected generations since ancient times, and has a sense of awe in their hearts.
Since then, his career seems to have hung up in China, and he has frequently appeared on various tv programs on the mainland.
Presenting talent to a national audience in front of the screen, 1991 Story in the Newsroom.
Feng Xiaogang personally tailored a foreign businessman role for him.
He talks generously and mingles with Chinese.
There is no barrier between them, as if they have been living together for many years.
Perhaps in such a picture, people can really feel the mountains although they come from Canada.
But he's fully integrated into Chinese life without any awkwardness.
When the mountain visits the teacher
In 1996, Oyama performed a show with the masters of the cross-talk industry called "Sending Spring League".
Among them, there are ma ji, Jiang Kun and other people who make him partners.
In 1998, Oyama performed the skit "A Stamp", which attracted a lot of praise.
Dashan appears more and more times in mainland cross-talk, sketches, dramas, and stage plays.
Guo Donglin, Zhang Zien, Mo Dawei, Liu Wei, and Ma Dong have all cooperated with him.
And he is getting more and more affirmations in China.
In 2007, for example, he toured the country more than 50 times.
It also won the "Most Popular Drama Award".
Mentoring performances
In 2008, the best protagonist and best supporting actor of the Mainland Shanghai Magnolia Theatre Art Award were also awarded to Dashan.
As a result, he also became the first foreign winner of China's three major theatrical performance awards.
Just as his career was going well, Oyama's personal life also ushered in a major change.
He fell in love with a Chinese girl named Gan Lin, a 1990 love story.
Oyama needed to tour northern cities at that time.
When they came to Liaoning, Dashan met a girl who organized and coordinated work in the local area.
It seems to be the same at first sight, or it may be at first sight.
Pan Yangtze River and Mountains
Dashan has been haunting this Chinese girl ever since.
Driven by love, Dashan said: "My brain told me to marry her, I want to become a Chinese son-in-law." ”
But being able to say crosstalk well does not mean that dashan can also play a good role in pursuing girls.
The more he dared to behave in front of Gan Lin, the more shy he looked like a child who couldn't speak.
But once Gan Lin's working group encountered a fight.
The girl was also at a loss, trying to hold the two forces together and let them solve the problem peacefully.
But Ganlin's voice seemed very small, and no one listened to her.
The scene is still fierce, and Dashan encounters a hero's opportunity to save the United States.
He rushed in front of Gan Lin and protected the Chinese girl behind him.
When Oyama got married
He tried to reconcile the two sides who were in conflict with a calm tone.
And the matter was quickly calmed down.
As a member of the organization and coordination work, Gan Lin felt that Dashan had also helped her to a certain extent.
So he wanted to thank him, and Oyama felt that the opportunity had come.
He began by expressing his support for such acts as violence to solve problems.
Then he relieved Gan Lin's mood and asked her not to keep feeling guilty in this matter.
Immediately after Gan Lin also developed a good feeling for Dashan, Dashan immediately turned his words around and said:
"If you really want to thank me, let's stop by for dinner."
To be a Chinese son-in-law and regenerate a Chinese baby
Since then, they have become friends, and Dashan has played a warm big brother role in Ganlin's life.
Gan Lin would pour out to Dashan about the unpleasant things he had encountered.
Oyama wife
Then they learned to share and tell each other every interesting thing in their lives.
Allowing each other to participate in their respective lives, their relationship lasted for three years and finally decided to enter the palace of marriage.
Although the marriage licenses of the two were obtained in Canada, the two children born to the couple were born and raised in China.
But when the children needed to go to school, Gan Lin had new doubts.
Gan Lin believes that Chinese has always been enthusiastic, in case the child will be influenced by his father.
Going to school can also be overly concerned by others, will that disturb their childhood?
So the couple discussed and considered the education of their children, and the family moved to Canada.
Although they left China, the family still spoke Chinese when they communicated at home.
And brought Chinese etiquette and traditions into his own life.
It seems to have become a habit and is difficult to change.
The bedtime stories that Dashan tells to the children are also some traditional Chinese fables and myths and legends.
The Mountain Couple
Although Dashan returned to Canada with his family, this does not mean that his story with China has ended.
His love for China has always been reflected in the promotion of Chinese culture, the praises of Chinese the warmth and kindness.
For example, in April 2017, Dashan performed a show "Dashan Kan Dashan" on the stage of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Its content mainly praises China's civilization and history.
He also said that China is a huge country, and foreigners should not speculate and slander it without understanding it.
In February 2019, Dashan performed the cross-talk work "Qiaoxue Chinese" on an overseas Spring Festival evening.
He believes that Chinese culture is broad and profound, and not all foreigners who want to learn it can easily win this subject.
He said that Chinese and Chinese characters are difficult to learn and write, and if they are impatient and unwilling to make efforts, they will not understand Chinese culture.
Oyama father and son
Also in 2019, Dashan participated in the 12th Paris Chinese QuYi Festival.
He continues to perform Chinese crosstalk on the international stage, and his story of his path to study on the mainland is interesting.
He has done enough publicity for Chinese culture and deepened the yearning of many international young people for China.
In recent years, people are both on short video platforms and in the internet celebrity world.
More and more foreign faces can be seen.
Their early lives were also filled with various Western media smears of China's image.
China was even misunderstood at one point.
But in the end, he was willing to study on the mainland and volunteered to become China's son-in-law or daughter-in-law.
Presumably before these people entered the gates of the continent.
I have also been infected by foreign friends like Dashan, who love China passionately.
They really feel China's enthusiasm and profound cultural charm.
Finally, he volunteered to become a propaganda ambassador.
Therefore, the People's Daily commented on Dashan: "Although he is a foreigner, he does not look like an outsider to us." ”
Later, people slowly discovered that the frequency of the mountains' activities on the mainland was becoming less and less frequent.
Go to the mountains of Henan to find roots
Therefore, everyone's impression of the mountain only stays at the level of the first generation of foreign reds.
So there will be many people who speculate about the truth that Dashan left China.
Maybe it's just making more and more money in China.
This was enough for his family to live, so Oyama did not want to continue to disguise, so he decided to leave.
But this is not the case.
The reason why Dashan left China was initially related to the education of his children.
After consultation, the family decided to return to Canada.
But all this does not mean that the story between Dashan and China has come to an end.
Back in Canada, I still have my heart set on China
Dashan came to China to learn about the culture and history of the mainland.
After he left China, he embarked on the road to promote the image of the mainland.
It's just that people see the mountains less and less frequently on the screen.
He thought he had eaten the sugar given by China and was ungrateful.
Big mountains
In fact, in 2005, Dashan played a role in promoting peaceful cultural exchanges between China and Canada.
At that time, he also received the highest lifetime achievement award from the Canadian government, the Canadian Medal.
The reason why he won this honor is because he has made outstanding contributions to the friendly exchanges between China and Canada.
In 2008, the mainland held the Beijing Olympic Games.
During this period he served as a special envoy to the Canadian Olympic Committee.
He also volunteered to serve as a Chinese cultural adviser to the Canadian Olympic Committee.
Due to his articulateness, his responsiveness is outstanding.
Dashan was also invited to preside over the opening ceremony of the first International Pomegranate Festival of the Chinese Society.
He said that Chinese good, and everyone publicized the profundity of Chinese culture.
He said that no country in the world can experience five thousand years of history.
Mountains during the Olympics
He said China is a magical place where there is no racial discrimination at all.
He said that China is 56 ethnic groups, but they have a song that sings 56 flowers of 56 ethnic groups, and 56 brothers and sisters are one.
Of course, it feels really good to be a Chinese son-in-law.
Dashan is willing to favor the center of his life towards the path of Chinese and Canadian cultural ambassadors, and as soon as he insists on it, he has reached the present.
His sentence I love China is not a verbal cultural expression.
In the mountains of foreign countries
Instead, it is literally translated into action in words.
He didn't look like a foreigner, but rather like a good son-in-law of his mother-in-law.
This has also made countless netizens change their views on the mountain.
A mountain with a medal
And Dashan is such a person who looks like an outsider and does not look like an outsider.
So what do you think of the story of china's son-in-law Dashan?
