He is a resident guest of the Spring Festival Gala, and as long as he is there, the audience will always laugh and close their mouths.
He and Feng Gong are close friends, and they have failed their friends many times for business, but in the end they have failed.
He was the most miserable county magistrate, dedicated to the people with all his blood, but he was scolded for his body. One wrong step at a time, and finally his wife and daughter were separated, and the situation in his later years was sad, he was a famous sketch actor niu herd.
Herd
1. Assigned to the countryside and associated with the Allegro
As a native of Tianjin, the cattle were assigned to the countryside as intellectuals after graduating from high school, and in 1968, the cattle just turned 17 years old, and the life in the countryside was really tasteless, working at dawn, sleeping in dark, two points and one line, very boring.
Fortunately, here he met an old man who played allegro, life was too boring, the cattle wanted to find some fun for themselves, so every time he finished the farm work, he would go to the old man to learn allegro, and over time, he found that he had a strong interest in the craft of allegro.
Herd of cattle (first from right) and friends
In 1970, unwilling to do nothing all his life, he decided to be called into the army, and at the age of 19, he was assigned to a certain military region in Beijing to become a correspondent, and soon after joining the army, he was catching up with the army to organize a literary and artistic performance.
Good at allegro, he improvised on stage to perform a tianjin allegro to his comrades-in-arms, he had never performed on the stage, he was still very nervous in his heart, afraid of being teased by others, after the performance, the stage suddenly sounded thunderous applause, and this also proved that the worries of the cattle just now were unfounded.
The cattle are taken as soldiers
The applause of the comrades-in-arms made the cattle more determined in their hearts, and he wanted to go to a bigger stage and perform for more people. At this time, the leaders of the army also saw his talent, so they transferred him to the cultural and industrial troupe, and here he also met his nobleman, Liu Xuezhi.
The cattle who just entered the literary troupe, except for the allegro, will not do anything, for a long time, it is inevitable that people feel that there is no novelty, so he began to create cross-talk, but the road to creation is not so easy, because there is no experience, his creation of cross-talk not only can not make people laugh but also seem particularly embarrassing.
Young cattle herd
Just when he was scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, Liu Xuezhi appeared, and he said, "You can't do this, you have to find a teacher to study." "The cattle also know that they can't do this, but where do they go to find a teacher?" Liu Xuezhi saw this and said to the cattle, "You don't have to worry, I will introduce you to one." ”
2. The nobleman guided the way to enter changbaohua's door to meet the perfect partner in this life
Under the introduction of Liu Xuezhi, the cattle successfully worshiped under the door of the cross-talk master Chang Baohua and began the road of cross-talk, which is undoubtedly difficult and difficult, but the cattle herd with enthusiasm, serious and hard to follow the teacher to learn, without slacking off, under the leadership of Mr. Chang Baohua, his creative level has risen all the way.
Old Mr. Chang Baohua
And the next person he met was the one who really pushed the cattle to the top of cross-talk creation. In 1988, Niu Qun was invited to make a guest appearance in a TV series, and in the crew he met Feng Gong, who was also a cross-talk actor.
The two were very compatible with each other for a while, and created a total of 8 cross-talks during the set, and after the shooting, the two decided to perform this cross-talk together.

Although cross-talk was created, there was another problem in front of the two people, that is, the two people at that time had partners with each other, and if the two of them wanted to work together, they were doomed to give up their partners.
But in the cross-talk industry, there has not been this precedent, unless another one has died or stopped doing it, it is impossible to change partners, which is also an unwritten rule in the industry.
Niu Herd and Feng Gong
However, they know what a good person the other party is, only two excellent people strong combination, can go to a higher level, under the careful consideration of the two, unanimously decided, even if they want to be scolded to death by people in the industry, they must form a new partner.
3. Under great pressure, the Spring Festival Gala became famous in one fell swoop
In 1989, the two were invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time since they partnered, and they knew that this was a rare opportunity, and only this extraordinary performance could make the insiders recognize them, and with this tenacity, the two took the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with their counterpart "Birthday Greetings".

The cattle and Feng Gong each held a tease. Every sentence is a burden, the audience laughed, the result did not live up to the expectations of the two, their cross-talk has also been full of applause, since then the niu herd and Feng Gong's pair is considered to be the default of the industry.
At this time, although the two people said that they had achieved something, they had not yet reached the point where everyone knew it, and it was in 1995 that the two of them went to the peak together, when Niu Herd and Feng Gong had become regular guests on the Spring Festival Gala stage. During the period, many excellent works were also delivered to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Niu Herd and Feng Gong
Talented people always challenge themselves, and in 1995, Niu Herd and Feng Gong broke into people's sight with the cross-talk "Mr. Worst", in which Feng Gong's sentence "I want to kill you." "Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people all over the country.
From the old man down to the child, ask who didn't know the two of them. In the 90s, the duo were undoubtedly the hottest performing artists of the time.

In addition to delving into crosstalk, the two also involved in other fields. For example, Teacher Feng Gong entered the film and television industry and filmed comedies, Teacher Feng Gong is a person with high self-requirements, at the beginning he did not want to act but concentrated on studying crosstalk.
But can not stand the director's bitter pleading, during the filming, he put a lot of effort into the performance, in order to play a good role, he also humbly asked the same crew actors for advice, there is no point of the shelf of the predecessors, and his efforts have also been exchanged for the fruits of victory, he also won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor award with the play.
Just when everyone thought that Feng Gong would give up cross-talk to enter the show business circle, Feng Gong said that he was a cross-talk actor and would spend his life studying cross-talk. Feng Gong's original intention was praised by many people, and after that, unless he had a particularly good book, he refused all of them.

3. Abandoned Feng Gong twice to do business, and there was no return
On the other hand, Niu Herd, he is a person who dares to take risks, he neither enters the showbiz circle to shoot nor continues to perform cross-talk, but learns from others to go to the sea to do business, but because he has no economic acumen, he has repeatedly lost battles.
When he returned with a gray face, Feng Gong comforted him, it's okay, no one is good at it, let's continue to talk to each other.
Herd interviews talk about investment failures
But Feng Gong's words, the cattle did not hear the heart to go, did not say how long it took him to engage in photography, spent a lot of money to buy a camera and held an exhibition, but he was not an excellent photographer, and few people came to watch, the second time to start a business, the cattle still ended in failure.
This is the second time that Feng Gong has been abandoned by the cattle, and he said that he can understand this, as long as he is willing to come back, the two people can continue to partner and have been walking on the road of crosstalk.

What Feng Gong did not expect was that the cattle once again abandoned him, and in 2000, the cattle invited Feng Gong to come to the house for dinner, originally Feng Gong thought that this was just a normal dinner between good brothers, but the words of the cattle were stunned.
3. At the peak of his career, he was a deputy county magistrate
The cattle said straight away, "Brother, I can't talk to you in the future, I'm going to become an official." "It turned out that after the cattle became famous, many advertisers came to ask him to endorse, the response was very good, Mengcheng County looked at the cattle with the ability to carry goods, wanted him to give local agricultural products endorsements."
The cattle herd served as deputy county magistrate
However, because it was a poor county, it could not come up with a high endorsement fee, so the county magistrate said to the cattle that he could be attached to the position of deputy county chief, and when the cattle heard about this, their hearts began to stir, and he immediately said: "I am not affiliated, I will go directly to be the deputy county chief, and I also want to do something practical for the people." ”
After Feng Gong listened to the story of the cattle, he advised him not to go, how deep the water inside did not know, he left a partner to say cross-talk, and the original intention was to be a partner for a lifetime, to say a lifetime of crosstalk.
Feng Gong
In the face of Feng Gong's emotional narration, the cattle were indifferent and determined their choice. And Feng Gong was full of disappointment in the face of this good friendly partner of the past.
However, the cattle must eventually pay for his wrong decision, after the cattle served as the deputy county magistrate, they really worked hard and complained, personally doing practical things for the masses, relying on the fame of the cattle, not only opened up sales for local souvenirs, but also led to the development of local tourism, creating a lot of income for Mengcheng.
As the deputy county magistrate, Niu Herd spoke to Mengcheng
But the leadership is not so good, poor rural areas out of the people, this sentence can not be completely wrong, at that time the cattle saw that the schools in the village are dangerous houses, so they paid for their own money, and organized donations to rebuild the school building, just to give the children a good learning environment.
4. Framed and insulted, disheartened and returned home
However, the local villagers believe that the cattle have ulterior motives, plot against the law, and embezzle money. Public opinion has been praised, making the cattle suffer endlessly, he does not want to return the favor as a cow, and even for so many years he has not returned home to reunite with his wife, and has dedicated everything to Mengcheng, but the people have slandered him so much.

In order to smooth out the voices of doubt, in 2002 the cattle made a shocking decision, he chose to donate, naked, all his property, including his own body after his death.
In order to prove that what he said was true, he also asked a lawyer to notarize it. However, this move has not been understood by the people, and some people still scold him as a corrupt official and enrich himself.
Herd
However, in 2004, after an investigation in Anhui Province, it was found that the cattle did not have the private money that people reported, and finally changed the cattle to a clean slate.
But by this time he had no strength to continue serving as deputy county magistrate, and in 2005, disheartened, the tortured cattle herd voluntarily resigned and ended five years of grassroots life and returned to Beijing.
Herd interviews
But at this time, he had lost everything, all his possessions had been donated, and his life was very difficult, but for the sake of life. He had to find Feng Gong again, who had been left behind by him, and asked to partner with him again.
5, things are difficult to return to the stage, the wife is disappointed and divorced
Looking at such a downcast herd, Feng Gong was very uncomfortable in his heart and decided to help him once. However, the books submitted by the two were frequently killed, and the leaders of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala threatened to be alone as long as Feng Gong was alone.
The cattle herd interview talked about the wife's divorce
In 2007, Liu Su, the wife of the cattle herd, filed for divorce from him, not only because the two had gathered less and more for many years, but also because when the cattle donated naked, they did not pay attention to their wives and children at all.
At that time, Liu Su and his son had an extremely difficult life, and even the tuition fee of 1,000 yuan could not be taken out, and the cattle knew that they could not stand their wives, and under great sorrow, they agreed to divorce their wives.
Herd
Life had to go on, because it had become impossible to partner with Feng Gong again, so the cattle no longer pinned their hopes on Feng Gong's body, but instead sought the help of Zhao Benshan, and with the help of Zhao Benshan, the cattle also returned to the stage as they wished.
But what is disappointing is that because he has been out of the stage for many years, the audience has no interest in him. In 2014, the cattle participated in the variety show "Star Diving Cube", for the effect of the show, the 64-year-old jumped from a 5-meter high platform, such a high distance, it is simply an impossible task for the cattle.

Sure enough, not long after he jumped down, because he could not withstand the huge impact, he passed out, and for a while the audience was heartbroken, and this once beautiful and popular cross-talk actor has now become like this.
The cattle dived and fainted
On the other hand, feng gong is still active on the stage of cross-talk after separating from the cattle herd, although there are many partners before and after, but Feng Gong has always adhered to his heart and has been groping for innovation and continuous progress on the road of pursuing cross-talk art.
Not only that, he also directed and acted in the comedy movie "Don't Take Yourself as a Wrong Cadre", and achieved a good response, and his life was full of winds and waters.

6. He retired from the stage in his later years and is now in hiding
After the diving event, the cattle slowly began to withdraw from the stage and leave the audience's sight. Until now, people have never heard anything about the cattle.
In 2022, Mr. Herd old man is 73 years old, although he no longer appears in our field of vision, but I think he must be somewhere to enjoy his old age with peace of mind. His life had ups and downs, experienced ups and downs, and finally ended with an end.
The current state of the herd
Although the cattle herd has failed one after another in business and entrepreneurship, and has also retired dismally after becoming a deputy county magistrate, his original intentions are all good, and he has done his best to benefit the township, but it has not been exchanged for good results, but it is undeniable that his contribution to cross-talk cannot be erased.
If at the beginning, he did not insist on going his own way, but continued to say cross-talk, whether he is still the famous cross-talk master, if he did not have a passion to become a deputy county magistrate, then his wife and children would not abandon him, and now in his old age he will have a happy and happy family.
Before the divorce, the cattle herd was a family of three
Finally, Xiaobian would like to ask everyone in the case of not knowing the result, if you are a herd, how will you choose, whether to keep the original intention, or to meet the unknown challenge?
