On the morning of December 4th, the farewell ceremony of the body of Mr. Chang Guitian, a famous cross-talk performance artist, was held in Babaoshan, Beijing. Mr. Chang Guitian died in Beijing on November 30, 2018 due to ineffective medical treatment, at the age of 76.
Many people from the literary and artistic circles came to mourn. His cousin Chang Yuan was at the scene to receive entertainers who came to mourn. This is the third time since September that Chang Yuan has sent off his relatives and masters, and before that, he sent away his grandfather Chang Baohua and master Shi Shengjie.
Hou Yaohua, Li Jing, Zhou Wei, Liang Hongda, Miao Fu, Liu Ji, Liu Quanhe, Liu Quanli, etc. appeared at the farewell ceremony to send Mr. Chang Guitian on his last journey.
As of 10:00, in the photos flowing out of the Internet, there was no figure of Jiang Kun, chairman of the Ququ Association, Guo Degang, a famous cross-talk artist, and other cross-talk "big coffee".
At the farewell ceremony of the body of the famous cross-talk performance artist Chang Baohua on September 11, Jiang Kun came to the scene and said in an interview with reporters that Mr. Chang Baohua's cross-talk "laid the foundation for us", and how to evaluate its artistic value is not exaggerated, he said, "We will take the baton over."
I don't know whether it was because of busy work or other reasons, when Mr. Shi Shengjie said goodbye on October 2, people did not see Jiang Kun's figure. However, when he was shocked to learn of Shi Shengjie's death, Jiang Kun wrote a long poem of more than 2,000 words overnight, "Sending Off for Shengjie".
At the farewell ceremony of Chang Baohua and Shi Shengjie, Guo Degang did not appear. People know that Hou Yaowen is Guo Degang's master, but many people do not necessarily know that the cross-talk circle worships teachers with the idea of introducing bao instead. When Guo Degang visited the teacher, Chang Guitian was the introducer, Shi Fukuan was the baoshi, and Shi Shengjie was the substitute teacher.
It is estimated that Guo Degang could not come to the scene, and on the afternoon of December 3, he posted a blog post that "lasted thirty-three days and passed through seven cities in four countries." The Deyun Society cross-talk tour was a complete success. The general level of ability is limited, the grace of the ancestors, the support of the parents, the student Guo Degang bowed and thanked. ”
In early November, Guo Degang led the actors of Deyun Society to perform four performances in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto and New York in North America, and in late November, he performed in London and Manchester, and on December 1, he toured Dubai, United Arab Emirates. If I am not mistaken, at this moment, the actors of the Tokuunsha are still abroad or on the plane back to China.
After the death of Mr. Chang Guitian, his son Chang Yue sent a letter to apologize to all sectors of society: "In just over 90 days, my old man strongly underwent more than 4 hours of surgery, optimistically facing the daily drug treatment, we actively sought various methods, but God did not give us enough time, these days, the family and students discuss not to announce, is to give my father a quiet recuperation environment, the resulting suddenness, please forgive me!" ”
However, Chang Yue said: "Heaven has one more laugher, a general, and a good father!" ”
Chang Guitian's daughter Chang Ziwei also revealed that Chang Guitian was diagnosed with a "stubborn disease" in late September, and initially there was no surgery, but soon the condition recurred, although actively seeking various methods of treatment, but helplessly did not go according to people's wishes.
White flowers are like stars, and bangs are like snow. Mr. Chang Guitian went all the way!
