May is coming to an end, and in this May, some stars and artists have passed away regretfully, and their departure is extremely memorable. Now another bad news has come, according to Ma Jinfeng's disciple Liu Bing, his master sister and famous Yu opera performance artist Wang Wenhui died of illness on May 27 at the age of 81.
At the same time, Liu Bing also posted a signed photo that Wang Wenhui had given him, as well as a photo in the same frame with Wang Wenhui to mourn Wang Wenhui.
After Wang Wenhui's death, opera worker Han Shujun also mourned Wang Wenhui and recorded his impression of Wang Wenhui, saying that Wang Wenhui in his eyes was amiable, approachable, and would give them guidance on singing, the two did not see each other during the epidemic, and when the epidemic was over, he also wanted to visit Wang Wenhui, but did not expect that Wang Wenhui had left.
Wang Wenhui died of illness, many netizens also wondered about the cause of Wang Wenhui, an informed source revealed in the comment area that Wang Wenhui was suspected to have died of high blood pressure disease, she had physical problems earlier, and was hospitalized three times in the first half of 2022, and the death of mentor Ma Jinfeng had a great impact on her, and her health situation further deteriorated.
Ma Jinfeng is a famous Yu opera master and national first-class actor, who studied opera at the age of 5 and began to sing on stage at the age of 7. She entered the Luoyang Yu Opera Troupe in 1956, became famous for her performance of "Mu Guiying Hangs the Commander" in Beijing, won many national honors, and served as an honorary professor of the Central Academy of Drama.
Wang Wenhui is one of Ma Jinfeng's earliest disciples, since 1962 she became a personal disciple under Ma Jinfeng, and followed Ma Jinfeng for nearly 60 years, she is also known as one of the "five golden flowers" of Luoyang Yu Theater.
Ma Jinfeng has cultivated many proud disciples in her life, but Wang Wenhui is also the first heir of the art of the Ma School, in the performance of Yu Opera, she has outstanding talent, capable performance, full of passion, once created many classic opera roles such as "White Bone Essence" and "A Qing Sister-in-law" for everyone.
She once performed "Mu Guiying Hangs the Commander" with Ma Jinfeng, Ma Jinfeng played Mu Guiying, she played Yang Wenguang, and the master and apprentice cooperated tacitly.
As she grew older, Wang Wenhui also reduced the number of performances and gradually withdrew from the opera stage, but she still followed the steps of her mentor and paid attention to the development of her opera career, and in 2018, Wang Wenhui also performed an excerpt from "Mu Guiying Hangs a Commander" in her room, dressed plainly and with an undiminished aura.
In 2019, Wang Wenhui followed the 98-year-old Ma Jinfeng to participate in the media meeting of Ma Jinfeng Art Week, and sang "Mu Guiying Hangs the Commander" at the meeting.
At the farewell ceremony of mentor Ma Jinfeng in 2022, Wang Wenhui also appeared, she was dressed in black and looked sad. She said that she has been with her teacher for decades, and she always remembers that the teacher taught kindly, she and the teacher are like a mother and daughter, and the teacher's departure is a great loss in the Yu opera industry.
What makes many people feel more is that Wang Wenhui passed away on the first anniversary of the death of his mentor Ma Jinfeng, and Ma Jinfeng's death date was on May 29, only 2 days after Wang Wenhui.
Many netizens also lamented that their mentor-apprentice friendship is very deep, hoping that their master-apprentice can still reunite in the spirit of heaven and follow their mentor to travel around the world.
Now the fall of another art master is sad and regrettable, I hope that the old artists can take care of themselves, and I wish that the deceased can go all the way, and their artistic contributions will eventually leave a strong mark in this era, immortal and eternal.
