Is the long-awaited king of comedy really going to come forward with his new work?
That's really good news, and hopefully that wish will come true.
Zhao Benshan's old partner
Zhao Benshan's position in the Chinese sketch world is unrivaled, known as the "king of sketches", he has created many classic works, especially with Song Dandan's "white clouds and black soil" combination. Oddly enough, despite having had multiple partners, it seems that he struggles to maintain a good relationship with others for a long time, and what is the reason for this?
Huang Xiaojuan is Zhao Benshan's first female partner on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and the two collaborated on the 1990 Spring Festival Gala to launch a popular sketch, which made Zhao Benshan's image in the hearts of the audience more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With the deepening of the cooperation, the two had differences in artistic concepts, and Huang Xiaojuan felt that Zhao Benshan's overly casual performance style made it difficult for her to adapt, especially because he liked to play on the spot, which was a big challenge for Huang Xiaojuan. In the end, after participating in a small variety show, Huang Xiaojuan no longer partnered with Zhao Benshan.
The relationship between Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan is full of twists and turns, Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui are important partners of Zhao Benshan, and the talent of the screenwriter makes Zhao Benshan's position in the sketch world more stable. With Gao Xiumin's efforts, "Red Sorghum Model Team" has greatly improved Zhao Benshan's fame. However, due to the unfair division of interests, their cooperation did not last long. Gao Xiumin also mentioned the conflict between her and Zhao Benshan, she said that Zhao Benshan was sometimes too strong, which made her and her husband feel uncomfortable.
The most well-known partner is Song Dandan, she and Zhao Benshan can be regarded as evergreens in the sketch industry, and the series of sketches staged have been a huge success, but the cooperation between them has also been estranged due to communication problems. In a planning process, Zhao Benshan was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the sketch plan, which also put Song Dandan under a lot of pressure. After the incident, the relationship between the two also began to break down.
Although they all went their separate ways, the three partners have made important contributions to the development of Zhao Benshan to varying degrees. Zhao Benshan has had some setbacks in working with them, but that hasn't stopped him from accomplishing things in his career. Zhao Benshan has won people's love and support with his outstanding talent and unique performance style. Even if he struggles in his search for new partners, we expect him to continue to perform well.
Zhao Benshan's road to stardom
Zhao Benshan is a famous comedian in China, who has won the love of audiences across the country with his unique Northeast dialect and hilarious style. And his success was not easy, and he also experienced many hardships and setbacks.
Zhao Benshan worked in a small opera troupe in his hometown when he was a teenager, but due to a lack of resources and opportunities, he did not make a major breakthrough in his career. It wasn't until the early eighties of the last century that his fate changed. At that time, Liaoning Province held a large-scale art competition, and he was fortunate to participate and won the first place with his superb acting skills, and this victory made his talent widely recognized.
As his popularity grew, Zhao Benshan's family began to change, and after he became famous, he married his first wife, Ge Shuzhen, and the two had a daughter. Their standard of living has improved, but they still face economic pressure and social discrimination. Zhao Benshan did not give up the pursuit of his dreams, and insisted on persevering in the face of various challenges. In the end, his efforts paid off tremendously, and he became one of the most well-known comedians in China.
No matter how humble your background, with determination and perseverance, you can succeed. In Zhao Benshan's acting career, he met many nobles, and the one who had the greatest influence on him was his godmother Zhou Yumei. Zhou Yumei is a very kind old man, she has given great help to Zhao Benshan's life, in Zhao Benshan's most difficult time, it was she who gave him a warm home, with her encouragement and support, Zhao Benshan gradually got out of the predicament of life and began a long acting career.
Zhao Benshan also encountered many difficulties and setbacks, and he was once misunderstood and rejected by the public because his acting style was too unique. But he was firm in his beliefs, insisted on following his own path, and with his indomitable spirit, he achieved great success on the stage. Zhao Benshan's success was not achieved overnight, but after years of hard work and persistence. So what kind of fate does Zhao Benshan have with the Spring Festival Gala?
Zhao Benshan's entanglement with the Spring Festival Gala
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan is undoubtedly a legend that cannot be bypassed. With his ingenious comedy performances, he has won the reputation of "sketch king" and has become an indispensable source of joy for hundreds of millions of families on Chinese New Year's Eve. But the comedy master gradually drifted away after 2011, officially withdrew from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and no longer participated in the recording of the show, leaving countless speculations and regrets.
Regarding the contradiction between Zhao Benshan and Ha Wen, the then chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, it was rumored by the public. One represents the pinnacle of traditional comedy art, and the other is the vanguard of the cultural trend of the new era, and the contradiction between them is not a one-day cold, but stems from the different understandings of artistic concepts on both sides.
According to people familiar with the matter, Zhao Benshan carefully prepared two sketches during the preparation of the Spring Festival Gala, hoping to shine in the Spring Festival Gala. When these works were presented to Harvin's eyes, they were ruthlessly returned. Harvin thought that Zhao Benshan's sketches were too mediocre and cheesy, and needed to be greatly transformed to meet her standards.
Zhao Benshan was puzzled by this, in his opinion, the meaning of the sketch is to bring laughter to the audience and convey positive emotions, rather than heavy lessons or profound education, so why is it said to be vulgar? After she took over as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, she proposed a series of bold reform measures, she tried to reduce the number of old actors, introduce fresh blood, and reduce the proportion of language programs to create a party that suits her personal style.
The conflict between the two has intensified in the exchange again and again, Zhao Benshan once bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with Harvin's concept in an interview, although Zhao Benshan stayed up late many times to revise his works in order to meet Harvin's requirements, but he has never been recognized. In the end, after a fierce dispute between the two sides, Zhao Benshan chose to withdraw from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that year, which was not only a grudge between him and the Spring Festival Gala, but also a break with the comedy concept that he had insisted on for many years.
Zhao Benshan's sketches are full of folk wisdom and grassroots humor, while Harvin's Spring Festival Gala tries to give the show a deeper cultural value and significance of the times. Despite their differences, we cannot deny their efforts and contributions in their respective fields. Zhao Benshan has brought endless joy to generations of Chinese with his unique comedy style, while Ha Wen has led the Spring Festival Gala in a new direction with his avant-garde sense of innovation.
Zhao Benshan may return to the stage?
For hundreds of millions of Chinese, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is an indispensable part of the Spring Festival. It is reported that Zhao Benshan, a sketch master who is loved by people all over the country, may return to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

In the preparation stage of every Spring Festival Gala, there will always be people who are curious about whether Zhao Benshan will appear this year, as if his existence has become a reassurance in the hearts of the audience. If Zhao Benshan can really appear in this year's Spring Festival Gala, it will undoubtedly add a lot of color to this traditional program.
Mr. Zhao's physical condition has been the focus of attention, with rumours circulating online about his poor health, and there are even reports that he has taken a back seat and is no longer involved in public events. He himself has never announced his health status to the public, nor has he officially denied the possibility of returning to the Spring Festival Gala stage. This mysterious attitude can't help but arouse people's curiosity.
Zhao Benshan has always had a persistent passion for his acting career, even in poor physical condition, he has never given up the pace of pursuing his dreams. The news of returning to the Spring Festival Gala this time may also be because he wants to continue to shine on the stage.
