Inheritor of Peking Opera: Mei Baojiu's artistic path
The story of Mei Baojiu and his father Mei Lanfang. Wow, this is a hot topic! Mei Baojiu is the son of Master Mei Lanfang, but some people say that he is not as good as his father, haha, a little embarrassing! It's like you are the child of a successful person, but you are always compared to "not as good as your father". But Mei Baojiu has really made a lot of efforts for the inheritance of Peking Opera.
There is a big guy named Zhang Yihe, she is a "titan-level figure" in the opera industry. She said that if Mei Baojiu was also a master, then Chinese Peking Opera would be over, uh, a little ruthless! However, she also had some reason, because although Mei Baojiu worked hard, compared to his father, well, the gap was still a bit big.
Although Mei Baojiu said that he was not worthy of being called a master, he was heartbroken for the revival of the Mei School of Peking Opera. From rebuilding the theater to cultivating disciples, he spared no effort! Some people say that he is the "master" of the Mei School, and although there is controversy, we have to admit his contributions.
Don't forget our big name Zhang Yihe! She is a great figure, and she has even been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature! Although she does not have a high opinion of Mei Baojiu, she is also out of respect for Mei Lanfang. Did you know that she called for the revival of the Peking Opera classics, so that this art can be passed on, a bit like a hero who saves the world?
Seeing this, we may sigh that the current Peking Opera stage is in chaos, but don't forget, we who eat melons can also speak out for this art! Just like Zhang Yihe, he called for attaching importance to stage practice and giving Peking Opera a new lease of life! I hope that Peking Opera, an ancient art, can continue to be passed on, and we must also work hard for it and witness its revival with laughter and tears!
The Legend of Peking Opera: Mei Baojiu's stage life
Mei Baojiu's name is like a bright star, inheriting the artistic bloodline of her father Mei Lanfang and carrying forward the art of Mei Pai. In 1934, this future Peking Opera master was born in a family imbued with the charm of opera. From the age of ten, Mei Baojiu embarked on the road of learning art, and three years later, his children's voice sounded on the stage for the first time, marking the birth of a new star.
When he was young, Mei Baojiu shared the stage with his father, which was a ceremony of artistic inheritance and a leap on his personal artistic path. But the road was not all smooth sailing, especially during the turbulent Cultural Revolution, when he had to switch the stage to behind the scenes, but his heart was always connected to Peking Opera.
As the wheels of the times rolled forward, the haze of the Cultural Revolution dissipated, and Mei Baojiu returned to the stage he loved. He not only pursues excellence in performance, but also spares no effort in inheritance, serving as the head of the Mei Lanfang Peking Opera Troupe of the Beijing Peking Opera Company, dedicated to promoting this ancient art form.
In addition to being an artist, Mei Baojiu is also an active political participant, and his proposals focus on the preservation of traditional culture, reflecting his deep affection for cultural heritage. In 2016, Mei Baojiu left us, but his artistic spirit and contribution to Peking Opera are like the inextinguishable starlight, shining on the path of those who come after him.
This article is a tribute to Mr. Mei Baojiu's life, and it is also a deep respect for the art form of Peking Opera. Although Mei Baojiu's life has come to an end, his art is still circulating in the world, stirring the hearts of countless opera lovers. As he said, art is eternal, and Meipai art will always be engraved in the long river of history.
The quiet years of Peking Opera masters
As a descendant of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, Mei Baojiu not only inherited the family's artistic bloodline, but also left her own legend on the stage. His life is the unremitting pursuit of art and the embodiment of a deep understanding of life.
The combination of Mei Baojiu and Lin Liyuan is a beautiful fusion of art and love. They had no children, but that didn't affect the life they weave together. The two of them froze with each other and walked through the ups and downs together until they had gray hair. In their world, there is no laughter and laughter of children, but there is a deep dependence and understanding for each other.
As the years passed, Mei Baojiu's life gradually became quieter. He is accompanied by twenty cats in his home, which may be a sign of his respect for the diversity of life, or a continuation of his family's warmth. These little beings, in their own unique way, gave Mei Baojiu the comfort and joy of life in her later years.
In addition to her dedication to the art of Peking Opera, Mei Baojiu also has a wide range of interests. He has a keen interest in electromechanical and audio equipment, which not only enriches his life, but also keeps him curious and exploratory about new things.
Mei Baojiu's life is the inheritance of traditional art, but also the continuous exploration of personal life In this noisy world, Mei Baojiu uses his life to tell us that no matter how the outside world changes, inner peace is the most precious.
