"Palace jade liquor, one hundred and eighty glasses, how about this wine, listen to me blow it to you......"

"Blooming in the spring, fourteen or sixteen, June six, look at the valley show, and hit six or nine heads in the spring......"

"Tango is just going and walking, three steps and one step, two and two turns......"

These classic Spring Festival Gala lines, we have listened to and grown up since childhood, and they have long become the "code" engraved in the blood and bones, and a mouth knows that it is only Chinese who understand the terrier.

So much so that someone joked:

"If you want to quickly find mainland compatriots in a group of people, you can use them as a 'connector code', and if anyone can't get it right, you can check it. ”

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy!

In 2020, a foreign man went to Weibo to pretend to be a northerner, trying to sow discord between the north and the south.

A question from netizens will reveal his true form - palace jade liquor?

As a result, the other party didn't understand this stalk, and he couldn't answer the next sentence......

Netizens sensed that something was wrong and reported this person directly to the relevant departments.

After investigation, it was found that this person was really an alien spy.

It is estimated that Teacher Zhao Lirong herself didn't expect it-

A simple line many years ago even had the effect of catching spies.

It's not legendary!

It is precisely because of this "legend" that Teacher Zhao Lirong has been remembered so far.

01

Zhao Lirong was born in an ordinary family in 1928.

When she was born, she already had 7 brothers and sisters, and the life of a family of ten people was difficult and difficult.

It is difficult to even maintain a basic life, let alone go to school, so Zhao Lirong has never had the opportunity to study in the school.

However, as the eldest in the family, she has always been the pearl of the whole family, so she has the loving name of "Old Love".

In order to support his family, Zhao's father worked as a makeup artist in a troupe, responsible for braiding and combing the hair of the actors.

Under the influence of her ears and eyes, Zhao Lirong has shown a strong interest in the art of Pingju since she was a child.

When she was 15 years old, she appeared on the stage of the theater for the first time as a leading actor, and her wonderful performance won the applause of the audience.

After that, he became a colleague with Xin Fengxia (a famous Chinese drama actress), and the two took turns to play the role of Hua Dan, one for one day, which also became an important step in Zhao Lirong's drama career.

Classic drama works such as "Flowers as the Matchmaker" and "Yang Sanjie's Complaint" have made the audience full of praise for her and enduring.

In these works, she has performed the roles vividly with her unique performance style and beautiful voice, created many vivid and vivid characters, and has become a bright star in the art of commenting on drama.

Later, because of her professional ability online, she had the opportunity to enter the screen.

In 1962, Zhao Lirong participated in the drama "Flowers as the Matchmaker" on the screen, and Zhao Lirong also transformed from a famous actor on the scene to a "big star" on the screen.

In 1986, Zhao Lirong starred in the TV series "Journey to the West".

Although this is her first time starring in a TV series and she doesn't have many scenes, Zhao Lirong still successfully portrayed this role with her acting experience on stage.

So far, Zhao Lirong's acting career has become wider and wider.

The story ends here - everyone may think that Zhao Lirong has a smooth star journey and a bright spring, but everyone who understands the story behind her is moved.

Zhao Lirong in life actually had a bumpy road.

In 1953, Zhao Lirong went to work at the China Ping Theater and met her first husband, Sheng Qiang.

Sheng Qiang was born in a scholarly family, and the Sheng family is a well-known local cultural family, and the family environment is very superior.

Sheng Qiang himself was also very good, not only with a gentle personality, but also a rare college student at that time, successively serving as the manager of the Popular Theater and the secretary of the China Ping Theater.

There is a lot of distance between the two people, both in terms of background and educational background, so when they talk about marriage, they are strongly opposed by their parents.

Fortunately, the two of them did not give up, and finally walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.

After marriage, Zhao Lirong's optimism and liveliness brought endless joy to the family, and Shengqiang's gentleness and steadfastness made the two of them love each other, and their small lives were warm and stable.

Coupled with the birth of the eldest son, the joy of being a parent for the first time makes this small family seem happy.

Two years later, Zhao Lirong became pregnant with her second child.

I thought that the days would pass slowly like this, but I didn't know that bad luck was also quietly coming.

For some reason, Sheng Qiang was sent to Tianjin Farm for transformation.

This is a farewell!

When Zhao Lirong came to the farm renovated by Sheng Qiang with her children, she learned that her husband had died of illness in the labor camp.

This sudden blow made Zhao Lirong miserable, and she washed her face with tears every day.

At this time, she was only 32 years old.

After being depressed for a while, Zhao Lirong told herself that she still had young children and aging in-laws around her, and she must be strong and shoulder the responsibility of the family for her husband.

Later, Sheng Qiang's sister saw that it was not easy for Zhao Lirong to be a woman, so she had the idea of matching her with her third brother Sheng Hong.

As soon as this idea was spoken, it was strongly opposed by Zhao Lirong, and she was even furious:

"Isn't this ruining my reputation? Since ancient times, how can there be a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law?"

Under the continuous persuasion of her relatives, Zhao Lirong gradually figured it out-

The little uncle at least knows the roots, the children will not be treated badly, and they don't need to change their surnames, which can be regarded as an explanation to their husbands.

So in 1964, Zhao Lirong and Sheng Hong reorganized their family.

After marriage, Sheng Hong cared for the children of Zhao Lirong and her ex-husband.

is very block, Zhao Lirong gave birth to a son and a daughter for Sheng Hong.

However, the hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck is looking for the miserable.

Not long after the happy days, the newborn daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

In order to treat her daughter's illness, Zhao Lirong spared no expense and sought medical advice everywhere.

It's a pity that fate doesn't seem to have mercy on her because of this, and her daughter left this world when she was 7 years old......

finally forgot the pain of losing her daughter, but she didn't expect God to play a "joke" on her again-

Her husband, Sheng Hong, also died of a heart attack.

In just a few years, relatives left him one after another.

The despair and pain in this may only be experienced by Zhao Lirong herself.

After that, only the stage could bring her comfort.

She injected all her emotions into each role, and with her artistic pursuit and superb acting skills, she created a vivid image for us.

In the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Emergency", she played an old lady who doted on her grandson excessively.

With meticulous coiled hair and a mouthful of Tangshan flavor, the image of grandma immediately came to life.

In "The Day of a Heroic Mother", she partnered with Hou Yaowen, and played the peasant woman and old lady vividly.

Since then, she has become an "old lady professional" in the Spring Festival Gala sketch show.

In 1992, Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin, the golden pairs, made their debut on stage in the sketch "Mom's Today".

In the next seven years, the works performed by the two people undoubtedly became a "big dish" on our Chinese New Year's Eve in those years.

In the sketch "Adventures of a Part-time Job", Gong Hanlin is an unscrupulous businessman who forgets his righteousness, and in order to help his boss make profits, Zhao Lirong is forced to dress up as Cixi to "solicit customers".

The rag shook and was full of jokes.

At the end of the sketch, she was arranged to write an inscription for the Queen Mother Hotel on the spot, writing down the four big words "genuine".

Don't look at just four words.

She practiced for 10 hours a day, practiced continuously Xi for 3 months, and wrote seventy or eighty pounds Xi paper alone.

This kind of professionalism is rare nowadays.

No wonder even Zhao Benshan said that if there is a sketch by Zhao Lirong, he has to stand aside.

There is also a sketch "So Packaged".

The stage of using Rap to adapt Pingju has achieved the most classic happy scene of the year.

If you want to say that Teacher Zhao Lirong is the first generation of "rap queen", I'm afraid no one dares to refute it.

It's just that the kneeling at the end is really distressing.

At that time, I only thought it was the effect of the show, but who knew that it was the fragments of Zhao Lirong's knee bones that pierced into the flesh, and the pain was unbearable so she didn't hold on.

After stepping down, Zhao Lirong said to Gong Hanlin:

"Pain must be kept to oneself, so that joy can be spread to the world."

This sentence has also become Gong Hanlin's life motto in the future!

Until 1999, Zhao Lirong's leg injury recurred, and she couldn't stand on stage.

So in the sketch "The Veteran", she almost finished most of it while sitting on a stool.

But Zhao Lirong still lasted to the end, and even lasted until the moment when the New Year's bell rang, sending her last blessings to the audience in front of the TV.

Then, exit unharmed.

On July 17, 2000, Zhao Lirong finally closed her tired eyes due to cancer.

At this point, the audience knew that behind the "ruthless" Zhao Lirong, who had "deceived" everyone for many years behind her kind smile......

People's Artist, well-deserved.

Now, many years later, Zhao Lirong is still alive in everyone's hearts.

The more people lament that the taste of the year has faded, the more they miss the joyful laughter of these old artists when they were still there.

But I remember that teacher Zhao Lirong said that if she didn't embark on the road of acting, then her biggest dream was to be a tractor driver.

"How chic it is to drive a tractor in the field and run away with a smoke!"

I would like to believe that at this moment, she has realized this dream in another world, free and happy.

I prefer to believe that she has tasted bitterness in this life, and she will only have sweetness in the next life!
