Tong Xiangling, a famous Peking Opera performance artist, gong Laosheng and ZongYu Pai, was once taught by the famous Peking Opera masters Ma Lianliang and Zhou Xinfang.
Tong Xiangling was fortunate because he was able to be favored by the two masters of the Southern Qi and Northern Horses as a disciple, but he was also unfortunate that the two masters were overthrown because of the arrival of the Cultural Revolution, and he failed to follow the two masters for a few more years.
Tong Xiangling joined the Shanghai Peking Opera House after the founding of the People's Republic of China, along with his sister Tong Zhiling. Later, when the Cultural Revolution began, the old abbot Zhou Xinfang was overthrown, as was his sister Tong Zhiling.
But Tong Xiangling is also lucky, because he has entered the creative group of "Wise Tiger Mountain" after many selections, and served as the actor of "Yang Zirong", and as "Shao Jianbo" became the second character, "Yang Zirong" also became the male number one in "Wise Tiger Mountain".
However, later, due to the reasons of his sister Tong Zhiling and the discord with Yu Huiyong, he finally left the stage and was reformed through labor at the Shanghai Peking Opera House.
After the film version of "Wise Tiger Mountain" was filmed, Tong Xiangling's "Yang Zirong" Zhuyu was unmatched in the past, and he was re-enabled for the success of the film.
During the Cultural Revolution, Tong Xiangling had great ups and downs, and he once confessed that he could not stand his sister Tong Zhiling and was sorry for his wife Zhang Nanyun. Because the lady has always been by her side, her skills have not been exercised, and for her sister herself, she has criticized her against her heart.
I thought that Tong Xiangling could make a big difference after the end of the Cultural Revolution, but she didn't. Tong Xiangling and Zhang Nanyun and their husband and wife have encountered a lot of injustice, which is dictated by Teacher Tong Xiangling. Perhaps because Tong Xiangling is the main actor of the model play, even the "Introduction" of the Shanghai Peking Opera House does not mention it at all.
But no matter what they do, Tong Xiangling is the "Yang Zirong" in our minds, the Peking Opera artist in our minds.
