Speaking of Huang Junying and Yang Da, they are well-known in Guangdong. The two are the best partners of the "natural pair" in the eyes of the audience, and no one has replaced them.
Since 1958, Yang Da and Huang Junying have been cooperating seamlessly. Yang Da can be said to have watched Huang Junying marry and have children, the two are not brothers but better than brothers.
In the early years, Cantonese cross-talk was transmitted through radio, and even further as far as Hong Kong and Macao. With the wonderful performance of the two people, it is highly sought after by compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao.
In the 1970s, Huang Junying and Yang Da had already performed in Hong Kong with the troupe many times. They have gone to the United States, Canada, and Singapore many times to perform, and the Chinese at that time basically understood Cantonese, but they had not heard Cantonese crosstalk before. Therefore, at that time, the Chinese people had a wait-and-see attitude towards Cantonese cross-talk.
When Huang Junying and Yang Da took the stage, three words and two words made the audience laugh, and after the end of the stage, the audience's applause and applause were endless, like thunder, which was the audience's affirmation of the wonderful performance of the two!
The two partners talked about cross-talk, the audience must be full of seats, the audience must be laughing continuously, it is said that foreigners who could not understand Cantonese at that time were also deeply attracted by the performance with the humorous expressions and actions of the two.
But by 2000, Yang Da chose to withdraw from the stage of crosstalk. Because he loves photography and travel, he hopes to spend the rest of his life traveling through the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, recording his footprints with a camera, and also making this life regret-free!
Perhaps because Yang Da suddenly disappeared, the news of Yang Da's "death" was reported by the media. But Yang Da also laughed it off, and did not immediately come forward to clarify, perhaps with the attitude of "clean people clean themselves".
After that, Huang Junying's partner was also replaced by He Baowen, Chen Jianxiong... wait. However, in the eyes of the audience, there is no longer the taste of partnering with Yang Da before, and Huang Junying has also lost a lot of color.
Yang Da, who is now 86 years old, now needs to be supported when he comes out, and the only way to recreate the wonderful performance of the two can be seen in the replay. Watching the generation of Cantonese cross-talk masters grow old with the years makes people feel extremely sad!
