A giant in the cross talk industry in Tianjin, Cui Jinquan, died suddenly at the age of 66. Just when everyone was still immersed in the mourning for their predecessor Chen Yongquan, the news of Master Cui's death came like a thunderbolt from the sky. His death not only caused a huge shock in the circle, but even the place of death became the focus of heated discussions.
Just when everyone was still feeling sorry for the death of Chen Yongquan, a senior in the cross talk industry, on April 14, 2024, Master Cui also left.
A week later, on April 22, the news broke that he had died of illness in Silicon Valley, USA. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
It turned out that Master Cui was not idle after his retirement. Together with his wife, he traveled to the United States, where he founded a training school.
His school focuses on cultivating inheritors of Chinese culture and art, and traditional arts such as cross talk, Peking opera, and Chinese painting have been reborn there.
Master Cui has proved with his actions that the power of culture knows no borders, and his ideal is to spread Chinese traditional art to every corner of the world.
Fate is always unexpected, and just when his career was in full swing, Master Cui fell ill at the front line of the career he loved. Although he passed away, he left us with countless wonderful jokes and his infinite love for traditional arts.
Master Cui's death has caused strong repercussions in the Chinese community at home and abroad. From his students, to his colleagues, to his audience, all expressed deep nostalgia and high respect for the artist.
Especially in his hometown of Tianjin, people spontaneously gathered to mourn this proud cross talk master. His death is not only a great loss to the cross talk industry, but also a major loss in the Chinese cultural and artistic circles.
The photos of his last appearance have attracted huge attention on the Internet. In the photo, Master Cui looks in good shape and has a lovely smile, which makes it difficult for countless fans and followers to accept this sudden bad news.
The passing of Master Cui makes us wonder if we have enough attention and support for those artists who carry traditional culture.
The controversy over the place of death also reflects a concern for cultural exchange and inheritance. A country's culture should not be limited to its geographical boundaries, and Master Cui's choice just shows that the spread of culture has no boundaries.
In Tianjin, some people may say that Master Cui should close his eyes in his hometown. This kind of controversy is not important, the important thing is that Master Cui has left us a valuable cultural heritage with his life, no matter where he passed away, he is an immortal cross talk master in our hearts.
