Time flies, and the legendary elder in the cross talk industry, Jia Lun, has entered his old age, and his retirement news has caused an uproar inside and outside the circle, arousing heated attention and discussion. When the public learned that Jia Lun could receive a generous pension of 12,000 to 13,000 yuan every month, they couldn't help but be surprised! For ordinary people, a pension of more than 2,000 yuan is already a good pension, but Mr. Jia's pension is four to five times that of ordinary workers, which is really jaw-dropping, and people can't help but question whether it is too "expensive."
In order to uncover the mystery of Jia Lun's "big apprentice" identity, we must go back to his master-apprentice relationship with cross talk master Hou Yaowen. According to the order of apprenticeship, Hou Yaowen's first disciples should be Li Bocheng and Li Boliang, the two brothers, but in many public occasions and media reports, Jia Lun is often called "Hou Yaowen's big apprentice".
During a live interactive session, a viewer asked Jia Lun bluntly, but Jia Lun did not deny it, but frankly claimed to be Mr. Hou's "big apprentice".
One possible explanation is that although Jia Lun is not a veteran among the disciples of the Houmen in terms of entry time, he has the highest position in the system, and once served as the head of the rap troupe of the Railway Art Troupe, and his rank is comparable to that of a bureau-level cadre.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the respect for his illustrious rank that people respectfully called him "the great apprentice".
However, judging the identity of the "big apprentice" based on the level of the official position for a while does seem a bit far-fetched, and even makes people laugh, and it also brings some undue shadows to this "Houmen high apprentice".
Talking about Jia Lun's attitude towards Guo Degang, the junior brother, we all know that when Hou Yaowen decided to accept Guo Degang as an apprentice, most of Jia Lun and other disciples expressed strong opposition to being a senior brother.
However, since then, Jia Lun's attitude towards Guo Degang has always maintained a "tepid" trend. In his own words: "No matter what Guo Degang does, I can't interfere or interfere."
There have been media reports that Jia Lun strongly supports Cao Yunjin's remarks, but after digging into the truth, we know that Jia Lun's statements are more inclined to encourage and expect this young junior, and have no other negative meanings.
On the whole, Jia Lun's attitude towards Guo Degang, a junior brother, can be summed up by words such as "plain as water", "indifferent and alienated", and "nothing to do with oneself". As a fellow traveler, this calm attitude may be understandable, but from the perspective of the eldest brother, it is inevitable that people will feel sorry that this cross talk master, who is known as the "Legend of Yaode", failed to win glory for his master and show his due authority.
As for the reason for this "battle of old works", we need to trace it back to the 4th Crosstalk Intangible Cultural Heritage Conference. On this high-profile stage, people are waiting with great anticipation for Jalen, a "veteran" in the cross talk industry, to bring new works and wonderful performances.
However, when he and his partner walked on the stage, what appeared in front of everyone was a classic old work from 30 years ago - "Who Says Women Are Not as Good as Men".
This "old-fashioned" operation, which was unexpected by everyone, undoubtedly disappointed the audience present. As a senior cross talk senior in a high position, it is incomprehensible that Mr. Jia chose to repeat the old work 30 years ago on such an important occasion.
What's even more funny is that even the members of the "Qingqu Society" who fought side by side with Guo Degang back then presented new works and a new look at this conference, and only Jia Lun seemed to have fallen into the predicament of "creative exhaustion".
This undoubtedly raises questions about his status and strength as a "senior".
People of insight quickly pointed the finger at the survival of cross talk actors such as Jia Lun in the system. It is observed that crosstalk people like Jia Lun in the system, except for occasionally participating in some condolence performances, there is almost no commercial stage for them to display their talents.
It can be said that their source of livelihood mainly depends on the meager salary paid by the system, and they have been in a state of "semi-retirement" for a long time.
Therefore, some people unceremoniously labeled Jalen and others as "parasites who eat empty salaries". Indeed, if a cross talk actor has made no progress in the past 30 years, resting on his laurels, and doing nothing, but can live a worry-free life with money and salary in the system, then in the eyes of the audience, this will undoubtedly leave people with a lazy image of "occupying the pit and not".
In the face of such doubts, I do not want to dismiss them entirely, but if I really want to prove the truth of this statement, what is the meaning? Those who understand the way will understand its meaning, and those who have not yet understood it, even if I try to explain it with great effort, I am afraid that they will still find it difficult to understand.
After all, there are many secrets in the cross talk industry that only connoisseurs are qualified to know.
From an objective and fair point of view, the pension obtained by Mr. Jia is really understandable. As a bureau-level cadre of the former Railway Art Troupe, his salary during his tenure is naturally quite generous.
According to the wage distribution system at that time, the higher the salary income, the larger the monthly pension base to be paid, and the amount of pension that can be received after retirement will also rise.
Therefore, starting from this technical level alone, Jia Lun receives a pension of more than 10,000 yuan per month, which is really normal for his level. Of course, if you compare it with the pension of the general population, the difference between the two is undoubtedly huge.
According to the current regulations, it is quite ideal for ordinary workers to receive a monthly pension of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan after retirement, but Mr. Jia Lun's pension is more than 4 to 5 times that of ordinary workers.
From the perspective of fairness and justice, there is undoubtedly a certain degree of "deviation from fairness". However, if we analyze it deeply, we will find that this is actually the inevitable result of the graded wage distribution system that has been practiced on the mainland for a long time.
In this sense, although Jalen's pension is far higher than that of ordinary workers, this is only a relatively common situation among the "upper class". Therefore, I cannot assert whether Mr. Jia's pension is "reasonable", because it requires a more in-depth discussion and evaluation of the fairness of the mainland's wage distribution system.
However, right or wrong, everyone who lives in this world deserves the rewards they deserve for their labor. However, how to achieve truly fair distribution has always been a major problem that has plagued the broad masses of the Chinese people.
Let's put this topic aside for now, after all, finding fairness in wage distribution is not an easy task.
However, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, Mr. Jia Lun's pension of up to more than 10,000 yuan is indeed a "normal level" in the system.
