Guo Rongqi is the crosstalk of the "Shou" generation, and the youngest "Shou" generation. He not only speaks well, but also enthusiastically promotes his juniors, in addition, he is also a good man who cares for his family, spoils his wife, and has a sense of responsibility, and in today's words, he is a proper "warm man".
After Guo Rongqi got married, there was a period of time when he was eager to earn money to support his family, rushed to many places, and was exhausted, which eventually led to tuberculosis and almost killed him.
Guo Rongqi's wife talked about this past afterwards, and once said with tears in her eyes: "If it weren't for liberation, he would really be dead..."
Guo Rongqi (1917-1999), whose ancestral home is Taiyuan, Shanxi, was born in Tianjin.
Guo Rongqi
Guo Rongqi is from the door, and his father Guo Ruilin is a crosstalk artist of the "De" generation. Guo Rongqi, like Ma Sanli, died of illness when his mother was three years old.
Guo Ruilin has been away for many years and has no fixed place to live, so Guo Rongqi has been fostered in his grandfather's house since he was a child, and he has hardly enjoyed his mother's love or his father's love.
In 1925, Guo Ruilin returned from abroad, handed over his son to his junior brother Li Ruifeng, and left again.
Guo Rongqi studied with Li Ruifeng for two months, I don't know if it is a problem of teaching or learning, anyway, Guo Rongqi did not learn much.
Li Ruifeng was very disappointed and said angrily to Guo Rongqi: "From today onwards, I will no longer teach you!" ”
Guo Rongqi hurriedly asked, "Uncle Master, why?" ”
Li Ruifeng said with a livid face: "Because you are too stupid, it's not crosstalk material!" ”
Guo Rongqi's academic career has come to an end for the time being.
Two years later, Guo Ruilin returned and asked his son to say a "Family Order". Guo Rongqi stammered, and in many places the preamble did not match the afterword.
The irascible Guo Ruilin was angry, and picked up the rattan whip and beat Guo Rongqi violently, beating Guo Rongqi to a scream.
Guo Ruilin also had to sell art, so he led Guo Rongqi to the Lianxing Tea House in Nanshi City, Tianjin, and handed him over to Ma Sanli's father, Ma Delu.
In this way, Guo Rongqi became Ma Delu's apprentice, and Guo Rongqi was just 11 years old at the time.
Ma Delu is one of the "Eight Virtues of Crosstalk", and his crosstalk skills are quite good.
Guo Rongqi's brain was not very flexible at that time, and it was naturally very difficult to learn art. Under the teaching of Ma Delu and Ma Guiyuan, Guo Rongqi has made a lot of progress.
Ma Guiyuan is the eldest son of Ma Delu, he is Li Dezhao's apprentice, and his crosstalk skills are outstanding, but he has an impatient personality and likes to do things.
When encountering Guo Rongqi who has learned incorrectly, Ma Guiyuan often adds fists and feet, Guo Rongqi is still young, naturally he bears silently and swallows his anger.
In fact, if you think about it now, you can understand that in that era I believed in the old Li'er of "not fighting and not becoming a talent", when Ma Sanli was learning art, he was beaten by Ma Guiyuan's fist almost every day, that was still his own brother.
At that time, in addition to learning art, apprentices also had to serve the master's family, and Guo Rongqi did not work less in the Ma family; Guo Rongqi began to perform to earn money, and according to the rules at that time, all the money he earned had to be handed over to the master.
Ma Sanli, Guo Rongqi
Years later, when Guo Rongqi talked about his experience as an apprentice, he once said with emotion: "At that time, the Ma family did not exploit me. ”
I don't know how this word reached Ma Sanli, who was also in the Tianjin Quyi Troupe, and the main reason for the discord between Guo Rongqi and Ma Sanli was this sentence.
Okay, far, continue to say that Guo Rongqi learns art. After Guo Rongqi became a teacher, in addition to asking his brothers for advice, he also asked for advice from crosstalk artists of the lower generation.
When Guo Rongqi was young, he traveled most of China to perform and accumulated rich stage experience. The hard work paid off, and Guo Rongqi, who was good at learning, was finally a late bloomer.
In 1940, Guo Rongqi returned to Tianjin for the funeral of his father, and after the matter was handled, "Little Mushroom" Chang Baokun hosted a banquet to entertain Guo Rongqi.
At the wine table, Chang Baokun invited Guo Rong to come to the Qiming Tea House in Beijing to say crosstalk and measure work for his younger brother "two mushrooms" Chang Baolin.
Guo Rongqi's income in the northeast was still good at that time, so he did not plan to go to Beijing to develop, and it was Chang Baokun's words that moved him: "I have an aunt who is not too young, not yet married, you go to Beijing to meet, if the two of you are interested, then our two can marry." ”
The aunt Chang Baokun said was Chang Junting. Chang Junting is the adopted daughter of Chang Lian'an's mother, and she once followed the Chang family to Tianjin, Nanjing, Zhangjiakou, Tangshan and other places to sell art, and tasted the hardships of life.

Guo Rong went to Beijing and met Chang Junting, and the two of them saw each other at first sight. A year later, they tied the knot, and Guo Rongqi also accepted the "Three Mushrooms" Chang Baoting as an apprentice.
On the wedding night, Guo Rongqi asked his wife what he had in mind, Chang Junting sold art outside all year round, with a cheerful personality and a straight heart, she immediately said: "We are married, I don't want to go out and show my face, sing big drums, I do more housework at home, okay?" ”
Guo Rongqi said without hesitation: "Okay, you are taking care of the housework, and I will go out to earn money." But you know what I can do, I earned dry food, earned thin and drank thin, but I wronged you! ”
Chang Junting replied: "Don't worry, I am also a person who has suffered, I don't pick you, we will eat whatever we have." ”
Guo Rongqi began to measure Chang Baolin in the Qiming Tea House, because Guo Rongqi has superb crosstalk skills, so many viewers proposed to make Guo Rongqi funny.
Guo Rong got up as an elder embarrassed to say, Chang Baolin smiled: "Uncle, since the audience likes you to amuse, I will measure your work." ”
In this way, Guo Rong became a joker, Chang Baolin became a joker, and the two of them often served as the "bottom two" of the Qiming Tea House.
Guo Rongqi is a responsible man, in order to make his wife live a good life, in addition to talking crosstalk at the Qiming Tea House, he often goes to the radio to record, and sometimes receives church meetings outside.
The long-term overwork caused Guo Rongqi's body to have many problems, but he never said it, but still insisted on performing everywhere.
Guo Rongqi's partner at that time was Zhu Xiangchen, Zhu Xiangchen was 9 years older than Guo Rongqi, but he was Zhang Shouchen's apprentice and a crosstalk artist of the Baozi generation, so he always called Guo Rongqi "uncle".
Zhu Xiangchen asked with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, you don't want to die?!" Why are you suffering? ”

Guo Rongqi smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'm still young, my body is also tough, I earn a little more, my family will be more generous, I can't let Junting follow me to be wronged." ”
That being said, but the body is not iron after all, and by 1948, Guo Rongqi, who had accumulated work and illness, fell ill, he suffered from tuberculosis and often vomited blood.
When the tuberculosis was serious, it almost killed Guo Rongqi, and after rescue, Guo Rongqi was out of danger, and could only leave the stage to recuperate at home.
Guo Rongqi's wife recalled this past many years later, and she said with tears in her eyes: "He is too family-oriented, he is too hard!" If he is liberated a year late, his life will not be saved..."
