In the previous article, Xiao Tao left a buckle, and this one will come to undo this buckle. However, before undoing the buckle, Xiao Tao first answered a netizen's question.
The commemoration of Chang's centenary of xiangsheng ended in Tianjin last year
In the previous article, Xiao Tao said that Chang Lian'an lost his father at the age of seven, had no brothers and sisters, and was "alone." Some netizens asked, Chang Lian'an is lonely, but Guo Rongqi is Chang Baohua's uncle, where did Chang Lian'an's sister come from? Xiao Tao answered this question first.
Chang Baohua was the fourth son of Chang Lian'an. Guo Rongqi is Chang Baohua's uncle, but Guo Rongqi's wife Chang Junting is not Chang Lian'an's sister. At the end of 1923, Chang Lian'an's mother met two girls who wanted food at the mouth of the hutong, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest was three or four years old. They were unclothed, disheveled, and covered in straw. There were many onlookers, all of whom stood idly by. The Chang family was not rich, but the old lady was kind-hearted and distressed about the two children living on the street, so she led them home. Since then, the sisters have lived in the Chang family. The old lady recognized the eldest as a girlfriend and the younger as a granddaughter. The big one is Chang Junting, and the small one is called Chang Baozhen.
At that time, Chang Lian'an performed in Zhangjiakou for many years. Chang Junting did not want to eat idle food and learned to sing Taiping lyrics and swing tunes. Swing tune is a group singing tune sung by female artists, singing and dancing, a bit like a flower drum play. After Chang Baozhen was slightly older, she also became a member of the Chang family drama team. In 1941, Chang Junting married Guo Rongqi. Later, Chang Lian'an asked his third son, Chang Baoting, to worship Guo Rongqi as a teacher. Guo Rongqi is both Chang Baoting's uncle and Chang Baoting's master.
Here Xiao Tao has one more word to say. Chang Lian'an did have a sister named Xiaohong, but Xiaohong died of illness when she was very young, so there is nothing wrong with saying "Chang Lian'an is lonely".
In recent years, the descendants of the Chang family have published a lot of books, excavated and sorted out a lot of historical materials
In fact, the ancestors of the Chang family were not surnamed Chang. Chang Guitian said in the book "Five "Poisons" That His Grandfather (referring to Chang Lian'an - Xiao Taozhuo) was surnamed Zhao. Chang Guiqin, the third daughter of Chang Lian'an's third son, Chang Baoting, said in the book "The Never-Ending Cross-Talk Master Chang Baoting" that Chang Lian'an's grandfather's surname was Zhao, and Chang Lian'an's younger son Chang Baofeng said in the book "My Father Chang Lian'an": "My father said in his self-report that his old surname was 'Zhao' ,... To my grandfather (referring to Chang Lian'an's father - Xiao Taozhu) changed his surname to 'Chang'. ”
The Chang family was a Manchu Zhengbai banner person, and the flag people changed to the Han surname after entering the customs, which became popular at that time. Not only that, but the flag people also have the habit of changing their surnames from generation to generation. Even so, it makes no sense to examine whether chang lian'an or Chang lian'an's father changed his surname to Chang Lian'an. If he had to examine it, Xiao Tao thought that Chang Baofeng's statement should be more authoritative, because his quotation came from Chang Lian'an's self-statement. However, Chang Baofeng said that "the old surname is the surname 'Zhao'" should be a clerical error of the author, because the Manchu Han surname is only Zhao, not Zhao. For example, the former captain of the national football team, Zhao Junzhe, is a descendant of Ai Xinjueluo. Zhao Peiru is also Manchu. Ma Sanli said in the article "Remembering Comrade Zhao Peiru" that Zhao Peiru's father was originally surnamed Zhao, and later changed his surname to Zhao when he had no money and food.
The year after his father's death, Chang Lian'an's mother remarried someone else. Chang Lian'an's stepfather's surname is Wu, and his younger brother is Wu San, an entertainer who plays with the middle banner in Beijing's Tianqiao. The middle banner is made of thick and long bamboo poles, on the top of which is a red luo umbrella, under which hangs a flag, embroidered with six large characters "Flyover Unique Middle Banner". Wu San's middle banner was three feet tall, and he could use his lower teeth to lift the middle banner up, and the lines did not move, which was really amazing. Chang Lian'an's stepfather did not have Wu San's two sons, honestly, and became a patrolman.
When he went to the Wu family with his mother, Chang Lian'an was only eight years old. When he was ten years old, Chang Lian'an went to the northeast to study acting, and he went for six years. After returning to Beijing, he went to Fuliancheng to study drama, and his study was three years. At the age of nineteen, my stepfather contracted lung disease. Less than a year after his illness, his stepfather died. Chang Lian'an did not live with his stepfather for a long time, and he never changed his surname. As for the reason, according to Chang Guitian, if he changed his surname to Wu, his grandfather (referring to Chang Lian'an - Xiao Taozhu) felt sorry for his biological father's fertility grace.

Speaking of which, Xiao Tao should undo it. In the previous article, Xiao Tao said that after contacting Chang Baofeng himself, the mystery was revealed, and it turned out that he said that "I am the ninth oldest at home" is really not wrong.
In the past, someone told Xiao Tao that Chang Lian'an's two wives had each given birth to six children for the Chang family. After checking with Chang Baofeng, this is pure misinformation. In fact, Chang Baofeng's mother, He Shuqing (in the previous articles, Xiao Tao mistakenly wrote as He Shuqing - Xiao Tao Note) gave birth to ten children alone, and nine survived, and the old nine was Chang Baofeng.

Chang Baofeng also told Xiao Tao: "It turns out that our family's ranking is the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister. I had a fifth brother who was born, because it was hot, and finally died. From there, there is no single row, not a man's row of men, women's row of women, it is down the line, so play the fifth sister (up), six sisters, seven sisters, mynah and me, (I) line nine, just such a row. This is the origin of the title "Ninth Master", and it is also the most authoritative explanation, so we will not use false rumors in the future.
