Zhang Xuehao is the son of Peking Opera master Zhang Junqiu and second wife Wu Lizhen.
When he talked about his father's art, he told this story:
Zhang Xuehao and his father Zhang Junqiu
It is said that in 1966, after Mr. Zhang Junqiu and Mr. Ma Lianliang cooperated in the modern drama "Nian Nian You Yu", they were forced to leave the stage and were marginalized. From 1966 to 1968, he was criticized, rectified, beaten, reformed through labor, and lived in a cowshed.
In 1968, when the China Peking Opera House was preparing to rehearse the modern play "The Red Detachment of Women", the leaders of the theater carefully inspected those choreographers and felt that they were not very good at the work of choreography, at this time, some people proposed to release Zhang Junqiu and participate in it, some people agreed and some people opposed, but whether people agreed or opposed, in fact, they all knew in their hearts that none of them had the ability to catch up with Zhang Junqiu.
Later, no matter what, Zhang Junqiu was still released from the cowshed, and at this time, Zhang Junqiu was already like a bird of fright, and he only had a cautious sense of gratitude in his heart.
Sure enough, after he participated, the singing voice of this play was indeed extraordinary! But the cavity is well arranged, and there are problems, that is, Zhang Junqiu's singing voice, those actresses can not sing, either this problem is the problem, even if it is barely sung down, it is not very good, in addition to the actors and the band can not cooperate well.

At this time, some people proposed: if You don't want Zhang Junqiu to sing, some people are sincere, and some people are yin and yang, because they can't sing and get angry.
People looked at Zhang Junqiu when they spoke, old Zhang Ke was frightened, he was already walking on thin ice, careful, he was already grateful to let him participate in these artistic activities, even dared to sing wantonly, these years because of this singing, what he has experienced, how much sin he has suffered, he knows in his heart!
He firmly disagreed, politely declined, and waved his hands one after another, and someone said, "Why don't you sing?" Zhang Junqiu calmed down and said slowly and solemnly: "I have not been able to resume my work, even if I have the courage to violate the ban, I am not not singing, and now in this situation, how dare I sing!" After saying that, he lowered his eyelids and stopped speaking.
When the big guys saw this situation, they also felt that it was not very good to be reluctant, but this problem was still not solved.
Just at this moment, as soon as the door opened, the military representative who participated in the management of the theater walked in, he saw everyone making a fuss and went forward to ask what was going on, everyone you said a word to me, you said something roughly, the military representative understood it as soon as he heard it, he turned back to Zhang Junqiu and said: "Old Zhang, don't worry, this is not a matter of principle, it is work, you just treat it as work, what can be the problem, is it, come to show everyone a demonstration," said signaling the band to prepare, and then waved everyone to flash away and sit down. He smiled at Zhang Junqiu and said, "Sing it, sing it."
Zhang Junqiu acted in the modern drama "Ludang Tinder"
As the music sounded through the door, Zhang Junqiu's extraordinary voice suddenly hit people's hearts, people from surprise, to intoxication, to comfort, to admiration, in the rehearsal hall in addition to singing, there is not even a little other noise, people concentrate on appreciating Zhang Junqiu's vocal and emotional singing, listening to both excitement and excitement!
The strings stopped singing, followed by thunderous applause shouting, "Great, wonderful!" "The praise comes and goes! The first cooperation and the first audition, actually tightly sewn, beautiful! This has to admire Zhang Junqiu, as the Peking Opera everyone's singing skills are very high!
It is said that this singing was also recorded at that time, but unfortunately it was lost later, otherwise we will appreciate what Zhang Junqiu sang this play this singing is like, I think, it should be a different feeling, after all, the male Dan singing modern drama, many people say that it is difficult to master it well, then Zhang Junqiu's wonderful singing is also a denial of those people's assumptions, therefore, the good or bad singing is not in what play, or to see who sings, this is definitely an eternal truth.
