As early as the 1930s, there were many famous actresses and actors who were both literate and martial arts actors who had performed in the south, such as Bai Yushuang, Zhu Baoxia, Hibiscus Flower, Zhu Zixia, Yu Lingzhi, AiLian Jun, etc. They traveled all over Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Anhui and Jiangxi. At that time, it was called bungee jumping drama, and southerners loved to watch commentaries.
Xin Fengxia went to Shanghai when she was very young, and at that time she followed her cousin Yang Jinxiang, a Peking Opera actor, to Shanghai to sing. My cousin is a very good actor who used to work with Liang Yiming, who sang the old student.
Before going to Shanghai, her mother tried to sell things, borrow money, and make two new clothes for Xiaoxin Fengxia. She said: "Going to Shanghai to act is not a small thing, it is a foreign place, you can't let people underestimate it." We folded our arms in our sleeves, and we had to endure the pain, and we had to pay attention to the outside. ”
At that time, Xin Fengxia could only go on stage to play a child in "Three Niangs and Godsons", or play a small animal or something, and the main task was to learn drama with her sister and do some bits and pieces at the same time.
At that time, Shanghai gave the impression of the young new Fengxia as a crowded road, dazzling, red, red, green and green, the world of flowers and flowers, the ten mile ocean field, and the mythical place.
There are many stalls in Shanghai that do small business, and Xin Fengxia goes out to buy food for her sister, and is often bullied by many small people who want to eat. She didn't speak Shanghainese, and they knew at a glance that she was a northern child. Xin Fengxia told her sister that this place is really terrible, there are hooligans among adults, and there are very bad little people in children. I don't like this place where the soft is afraid of the hard! Once, she was carrying a small pot to buy wontons for her sister, and she was surrounded by Xiao Fusan, who did not let go, and pushed with her hands, not only spilling the wontons, but also burning her hands. She did not show weakness, scolded them, and drove them away.
In 1943, a class leader from Shanghai Big World came to Tianjin to ask Xin Fengxia to sing the lead role, and the first time they met, they left a fixed amount of money.
The master of that class can speak the Tao, and is a northern passer. The matter was roughly settled, and he said to Xin Fengxia's mother: "Your daughter is well-dressed, smart, and has a good voice, Shanghai is a big wharf, I guarantee that you will be a hit and come back red." But you have to find an insurance road when you go out, and you have to live a little! You took your girlfriend to Shanghai, do you plan to be a trapdoor or a dead door? I advise you to call your girlfriend a living door to make a lot of money..."
As soon as the mother heard his words, she became angry before he could finish: "I asked the child to dress up as a man and a woman to eat this bowl of drama, it is difficult enough for the child." We only want to support our family, I am a poor person, and I do not want to go to Shanghai to make a fortune. It's not enough for the children to entertain the big guys on the stage every day, and let my daughter go to Shanghai to sell you! The child is only fourteen years old, and you can't bear to let her eat the living door? I tell you, my child sings and does not sell himself! Let's talk about business first, my child is singing, and nothing else should be paid! No wonder everyone says that Shanghai can't go..."
Xin Fengxia's mother decided not to go to Shanghai to sing. She said: "You give me a golden mountain in Shanghai, and I will not move!" "The class owner can't suffer a loss, his mother took his fixed money, if he doesn't go, he has to pay it back, this is not counted, he has to take profit money." This time I was really in a hurry, because after my mother received the fixed money, she added a few costumes for Xin Fengxia, bought some things to use, the money was almost spent, I didn't expect to fall out again, and I had to compensate for the losses of others and pay profits. Borrow from the east to the west, print the money, and it is not easy to repay the money.
Since then, Xin Fengxia's mother has said: "This place in Shanghai is too dangerous to go." ”
In 1944, the boss of Shanghai came to Tianjin to take over the drama class, and the owner of the class came to find out again, and he must have asked Xin Fengxia to go and was willing to pay a big price. The old mother took the money to perform in Shandong and went to Qingdao, Jinan and Yantai in Shandong. Xiao Bai Yushuang formed his own class "Zaiwen Society", and they went to Shanghai.
This time Xiao Bai Yushuang went to Shanghai and did not sing well, Shanghai's goons not only disrupted the normal order of the performance, but also spread the negative news of the drama class, although some people felt that Xiao Bai Yushuang's acting was superb, but forced by the pressure of the underworld, they did not come to see the play, originally there were many people watching at the beginning, and they were so mixed, and the drama class could not continue to operate in Shanghai. Not only did he lose money, but he also made a big fuss when performing in the big world. Shanghai's goons and hooligans smashed hard and almost killed people. Little White Jade Frost quickly dodged away.
Xiao Bai Yushuang later came to Qingdao, went to the guest house to see Xin Fengxia, and told the scene of the Shanghai performance, and Xin Fengxia said: It is really fortunate that she did not go to Shanghai. Little White Jade Frost is bold, she has seen big winds and waves, she can't do it, if my mother and I are alone, I can't tell what will happen, it's really scary.

Xin Fengxia's mother said, "Shanghai is not where we go, so I won't ask us To go to Xiaofeng." That's where the traffickers are! Sell people as goods! ”
