As Jia Ling gradually left the cross-talk stage to embrace sketches, variety shows and movies, nowadays, when it comes to female cross-talk actors, it is almost impossible to call out any names.
Relative to male actors, female actors have always been a minority in the cross-talk industry, and it can even be said that they are a very small minority, and regardless of the number and popularity, it is difficult to compare with male cross-talk actors.
However, if you talk about female cross-talk actors, there is one who has to be mentioned. She was the first well-known female cross-talk actress to appear after the Cultural Revolution, and she was once famous for both acting in cross-talk dramas and male and female cross-talk. Moreover, she and Guo Degang are the relationship between her sister and brother, and she worshiped Hou Yaowen as a teacher as early as the 1980s.
She is the cross-talk actor Shan Lianli. Today, she is almost 60 years old.

Many of the cross-talk actors are from Beijing or Tianjin, while Shan Lianli is from Qingdao and was born in 1962. Since she was a child, Shan Lianli was an active member of literature and art, and when she was 14 years old, she was admitted to the student class of the Qingdao Cultural and Labor Troupe and learned to sing folk songs and music arts. At that time, Shan Lianli, singing, image and height were relatively outstanding, and she sang the pendant with Guo Wenqiu, a famous artist in Henan.
In the 1980s, many opera troupes across the country were popular to perform cross-talk dramas, and Yu Qian also performed a lot of them in that year. At that time, Shan Lianli starred in four large-scale cross-talk dramas, including "Who Do You Look Like", "The Rented Bride" and so on, and began to become famous in Shandong Province.
During that period, Yang Zhenhua created the first guitar cross-talk in the country, Liu Wei Feng Gong and other people also performed, Shan Lianli's voice is also very suitable for singing popular songs, and he and the male actor partnered to hold the guitar on stage and performed the guitar crosstalk. After showing her prominence in the country, Shan Lianli was photographed by Hou Yaowen's China Railway Literary and Labor Troupe, and entered the troupe to become a professional cross-talk actor, and soon Shan Lianli also worshiped Hou Yaowen as a teacher.

Shan Lianli's long-term partner in the Railway Literary troupe is the male cross-talk actor Wang Quan, the two played themselves and sang, performed many works showing young people falling in love, and sang popular songs, which were welcomed by young audiences.
In 1988, Shan Lianli and Wang Quan also performed a small cross-talk at the Spring Festival Gala, the theme of which was to show the young and small quarrels, which sounded very life-like. Therefore, Shan Lianli also became the first cross-talk actor to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.
In 1994, Shan Lianli, Together with Li Jindou, Shi Fukuan and Yan Yueming, performed a cross-talk similar sketch " Running Away from the Topic " , reflecting the problem of unit meetings running around.

Speaking of which, Shan Lianli has cooperated with many actors, in addition to the Wang Quan just mentioned, there are also Li Jiacun, Liu Yajin, Zhao Weizhou, Qi Zhi, Zhao Jinsheng and so on. Judging from Shan Lianli's performance, her typhoon atmosphere is free, her image is tall and generous, and she is unique in the cross-talk industry with many male actors in that year.
However, since entering the new century, it is rare to see Shan Lianli's cross-talk performance on the stage. This is directly related to the slump of cross-talk at that time, and the cross-talk industry is actually not very friendly to actresses, which can be seen from the small number of cross-talk works suitable for actresses to perform.
After Shan Lianli, there was the appearance of female cross-talk actress Jia Ling, but she also encountered such problems, and later, although she had already ushered in a lot of fame by cross-talk, she finally had to change careers and start acting in sketches on variety shows, and her personal acting career was on the next level.

Shan Lianli, who played guitar and sang on the stage at that time, is now nearly 60 years old, and the opportunity to appear on the stage to say cross-talk in the future is becoming less and less.
In fact, works from a female perspective are still scarce for the cross-talk industry, and they should not always be so scarce. There are more female cross-talk actors on this stage, which is a more benign and comprehensive cross-talk boom.
