Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat.
Life and death are of course compulsory in life, and in the first few months of 2024, 4 old artists have already left forever.
As we all know, most of the people who can be national first-class actors are respected old artists.
Their names may not be familiar, but the characters they play have really accompanied the growth of a generation.
Some of them are over 100 years old, but some of them have just arrived in ancient times.
Shi Weijian
He was one of the first young actors trained by Shanghai Renyi, and he was the first person to play Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
Growing up in the old liberated area, Shi Weijian was exposed to the party's red education since he was a child, and his desire to participate in performances took root at this time.
At the age of 15, Shi Weijian stood out from 2,000 people and successfully entered Shanghai Renyi, which opened his acting career.
From being nervous and trembling at rehearsals, to being able to stand in front of the audience in a big way. After many years of acting career, Shi Weijian is still modest.
For him, acting should be "both physical and spiritual", not reciting lines dryly, nor can he be full of thoughts, but his face is like a wood.
Shi Weijian once starred in "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", abandoned by his fiancée, misunderstood by the world, and only a female classmate was willing to reach out to pull him when everyone betrayed his relatives, and the husband and wife finally worked together to overcome the difficulties.
This emotionally complex character was handled very well by Shi Weijian, coupled with the heart-wrenching and compactness of the plot, it can be regarded as achieving each other, and they are loved by the audience and won the award in one fell swoop.
He has played the leading role, run through the tricks, been a good person, can also play a villain, returned half a life, Shi Weijian took up the position of director of the China Youth Art Theater.
Shi Weijian, who was dedicated to collective consideration, tried his best to help everyone get housing.
In his later years, Shi Weijian fell ill. In the early morning of May 12, Shi Weijian was taken to the hospital and never woke up at the age of 89.
Guo Lianwen
He is a special actor of "Comrade Shaoqi" who has been recognized by experts, recognized by the people of the whole country, and affirmed by Comrade Liu Shaoqi's family.
's father, who can sing and dance, is the person who has the most profound influence on Guo Lianwen.
At a young age, Guo Lianwen has his own development goals. He took the initiative to take the Peking Opera Troupe, started from a small supporting role, and pestered the old actors every day to ask for experience, laying a solid foundation for his future acting career.
In order to receive more formal training, 21-year-old Guo Lianwen was admitted to Chinese opera in one fell swoop, and studied acting skills in school.
He has been active in drama for many years, trying to play every role well, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.
In 1998, Guo Lianwen had a face that resembled Comrade Liu Shaoqi and was selected to shoot "Comrade Shaoqi".
Comrade Shaoqi is the leader of the people and cannot be sloppy in the slightest. For this role, Guo Lianwen read a lot of relevant literature, studied the script hard, and consulted Comrade Liu Shaoqi's family many times.
Finally, every move and small detail, Guo Lianwen perfectly reproduced the character image of "Comrade Shaoqi", coupled with the blessing of makeup, it was as if he had returned to the world.
Even Liu Shaoqi's wife stood in front of Guo Lianwen, and she couldn't help but praise "It's really like him back then".
Guo Lianwen, who was completely out of the circle because of the role of "Comrade Shaoqi", has been Liu Shaoqi for the rest of his life.
Some people may think that this is a bit regrettable for Guo Lianwen, but Guo Lianwen feels that it is his life's luck to be able to play Liu Shaoqi. In "Our Team to the Sun", which was broadcast in April, it was the last time Guo Lianwen played Comrade Liu Shaoqi, and he himself had fallen on February 13.
Tang Guoqiang, who has partnered with him all his life, was shocked and sad when he learned about it, you know, Guo Lianwen is just 71 years old this year.
Chen Yongquan
He is a famous cross talk master, and he has an inseparable fate with cross talk all his life.
As a contemporary eye-catching celebrity, Chen Yongquan will come into contact with cross talk, which is completely the inheritance of the family. His ancestors and fathers were all famous "Qingmen", and his father also won the "cross talk master" account.
Chen Yongquan, who grew up in the cross talk world, was naturally deeply affected, and he had already learned art at a young age.
didn't expect his mother to oppose him to contact cross talk.
It was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China that the "War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" was ushered in, and the news of the famous cross talk everyone sacrificing on the front line of the war came, causing quite a stir.
's mother finally realized that the world had changed, so she agreed to Chen Yongquan to join the cross talk industry.
The word "clear" is the elegance of the word, and the second is not the clarity of the money. As a descendant of "Qingmen", Chen Yongquan also let the word "Qing" run through his life.
He has created many excellent works and sorted out countless theories related to traditional cross talk, including single-stand-up, multi-talk and other categories.
He and his old partner Li Jindou shuttled around the world to perform cross talk, which not only strengthened the mainland's cultural exchanges with foreign countries, but also carried out strong output.
1986's "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" is the best proof of the strength of Chen Yongquan and Li Jindou, two cross talk masters, integrating a variety of skills, bringing endless joy to the audience, and also setting a model for future cross talk.
As he grew older, Chen Yongquan gradually retired and began to focus on the collation of traditional cross talk materials, and also began to cultivate a new generation of cross talk heirs.
In the eyes of the students, Chen Yongquan will always be knowledgeable and amiable. He is full of scholarly atmosphere, his voice is always loud, his lines are always so clear, and his solid basic skills are not amazing.
On April 14, 92-year-old Chen Yongquan left. Old partner Li Jindou knelt down and cried bitterly, reluctant to get up for a long time.
Zhang Shuyun
She is the reformer of the Lupai plum blossom drum, the most representative inheritor of Tianjin's intangible cultural heritage, and is respected as the "plum blossom master".
Also under the influence of the elders in the family, she studied Peking Opera at a young age, and at the age of 14 she was able to sing the plum blossom drum on stage, and later joined the name of Lu Chengke, a quyi string master, and became famous in the music world at the age of 20.
I believe that the vast majority of people over 50 years old in Tianjin have heard of her, and she is the five treasures of flowers in the "Plum Blossom Treasures".
At the age of 28, Hua Wubao began to innovate the plum blossom drum.
She has always been a very innovative person, in order to prevent the plum blossom drum from withering, Hua Wubao designed a slow tune and other forms, so that the plum blossom drum is more touching when performing sad emotions.
However, with the change of the times, the plum blossom drum performers became more and more scarce, and in order to pass on the plum blossom drum, Hua Wubao began to train heirs.
With the efforts of "Plum Blossom Treasures", today's plum blossom drum is still in front of the audience in Tianjin. It was their persistence and innovation that made the plum blossom drum successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2014.
At the age of 92, Hua Wubao's loud and high voice still amazed everyone, and the healthy "plum blossom master" passed the 100 mark and died of illness on March 10 at the age of 101.
epilogue
They are all people who are at the top of their fields.
Although their names may not be well-known, their great contributions to the literary and artistic circles, as well as the inheritance of mainland culture, are still worthy of each of us to call them "sir" with respect.
May they go all the way!
