On February 11, Liu Tong, a famous cross-talk actor and head of the Heilongjiang Qu Art Troupe, updated Weibo: "My father, father-in-law, and master have all passed away, and now I understand more and more the phrase 'the son wants filial piety and does not wait for his relatives'!" ”
Behind the blog post, Liu Tong distributed a small video, in which he was photographed with his parents, parents-in-law, master and wife, and his family. The background music of the video is a song of "Filial Piety to Father and Mother": "Turning around is a lifetime, what are you waiting for." The Son wants filial piety and does not wait, do not forget. Take a little time to go home often and accompany your father and mother. Listen to the old man talk about the past, nagging in his heart..."
Presumably, when this blog post was posted, Liu Tong's heart was sad and bloody. He was the age when he was rich and powerful and most capable of filial piety to the elderly, but the three closest male elders left him one after another. Yes, "turning around is a lifetime, what are you waiting for", some things can wait, but only the love for parents, filial piety to parents can not wait.
Such a view, for many people, should be empathetic.
In the blog post, Liu Tong talked about his father, father-in-law, and master have all died, and his father-in-law and master are all famous cross-talkers, but his biological father Xiaobian failed to find the information, but from Liu Tong's Weibo, his father should have died in 2013.
As for Liu Tong's father-in-law, it was the late Tianjin cross-talker Mr. Huang Tieliang. Huang Tieliang was the second disciple of the cross-talk master Hou Baolin. If you do not count the named disciples, Master Hou's disciples are: Jia Zhenliang, Huang Tieliang, Yang Ziyang, Ma Ji, Hu Bida, Yin Peitian, Jia Jiguang, Ding Guangquan, Kang Dafu, Li Rugang, Wu Zhaonan, Yu Shiyou, Hao Aimin, and Shi Shengjie.
Huang Tieliang grew up in Hou's parents, and at that time, he helped his teacher to take care of the two brothers, Hou Yaohua and Hou Yaowen, and many traditional passages were given to him by Hou Lao, sentence by word.
Huang Tieliang's solid traditional skills made Huang Tieliang deeply loved by the audience on the stage. His partners include Yin Xiaoxiao, He Deli, etc., especially the cooperation with Ma's cross-talk yin xiaoxing is a classic, known as the "Huang Yin" partner by the audience, and the main works of the two are "Geographical Map", "Reporting the Name of the Dish", "Eight Fan Screens", "Eight Auspicious" and so on.
In many performance occasions, Liu Tong often partnered with his father-in-law temporarily, and Liu Tong, who was known for his teasing, gave his father-in-law a praise, and his father-in-law's free performance on the stage was the best business demonstration for Liu Tong.
On the evening of June 11, 2016, when Huang Tieliang finished the first performance of the night and participated in the second performance, he suddenly suffered a heart attack on the road and was sent to the hospital for rescue, but still unfortunately died at the age of 79.
In fact, Liu Tong's mother-in-law Chen Fengyun is also a famous music actress, she is engaged in the Xihe drum, under the tutelage of Zuo Tian Feng and Tian Yinting. On December 14, 2018, Liu Tong posted on Weibo: "Chen Fengyun, an 82-year-old mother-in-law and a famous drummer in Xihe, performed in Tianjin last night. The spirit of the elderly is strong and full of confidence, and it is really a sword that is not old. support! ”
Liu Tong's master, Shi Shengjie, was Hou Baolin's closed disciple. At the age of 6, he studied art with his master and was accepted by Shi Shengjie as a senior disciple of the top door. After being admitted to tianjin northern China Quyi School to study cross-talk performance, he was ordered by Tian Lihe, Liu Wenheng, Wei Wenliang and many other famous seniors during the school.
Liu Tong posted on June 18, 2017: "Father's Day is a day of nostalgia for me who is also a father! Within four years, my father and father-in-law had left one after another, and the only person I called my father in this world was my master! Happy Father's Day to the teacher, and may my father and father-in-law be safe in heaven! I wish all fathers in the world a happy, happy and healthy holiday! ”
What Liu Tong and all the viewers who like Shi Shengjie could not have imagined in any way was that two months after the release of his blog post, Master was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. On September 28, 2018, despite careful treatment, Shi Shengjie unfortunately passed away in Harbin at the age of 66.
But the deceased has passed away, and there is no way to do it. However, Liu Tong not only had his father-in-law the second brother of Hou Men, but even his master was also a disciple of Master Hou, so he was happy in such a favorable time and place.
Although all three fathers are gone, all three mothers are alive. I hope that Liu Tong will be like the song, take some time to go home often, accompany his mother, "listen to the old man talk about the past, nagging in his heart", in order to make up for the regret that the fathers want filial piety and do not wait, and the children want to raise and the relatives are not there.
I hope that Liu Tong and his disciples will work together with chinese cross-talk colleagues to make their own contributions to the development of the cross-talk cause.
