An hour later, this news was confirmed by the Beijing Opera House and obituary issued: "The famous Peking Opera performing artist, deputy to the Third and Fourth National People's Congress, disciple of Mr. Tan Fuying, the fourth generation leader of the Tan Pai, Mr. Ma Lianliang, the founder of the Ma Pai, a national first-class actor and a veteran actor of the Beijing Opera House, Comrade Ma Changli, died at the age of 86 at the Beijing Friendship Hospital at 16:10 on November 22, 2016 due to ineffective medical treatment. ”
Subsequently, the Beijing Morning Post reporter interviewed Du Zhenjie for the first time, he said that the old father-in-law Mr. Ma Changli was not admitted to the hospital for a long time, because of the urinary tract infection admission treatment, the weekend situation is not optimistic to enter the intensive care unit, yesterday because of the failure of various organs and other reasons died, there is not much pain, walk very peacefully. "Last week in the hospital room, my father-in-law heard that I would resume two old dramas in the 'Dream Seeking Chengze' series next year, and told me about "Wu Shu Hate" and "Lianying Zhai" for half a day. Last Friday, President Li Enjie also went to the hospital to visit, and he did not expect to go so fast. ”
Learning drama is bumpy and asks for advice
Du Zhenjie recalled: "My father-in-law Ma Changli grew up in Beijing, is an authentic old Beijing, is a poor child, the family is not a pear garden, his experience can write a book. This way to learn drama, he suffered a lot, experienced a lot of setbacks, at first was to learn Lao Dan, and then changed to old students, he joked that because of his bad looks, he did not sing Dan Jiao and Xiao Sheng, in addition to he learned everything. When he was young, he entered the 'Rongchun Society' to learn the art, he was enlightened by Kunqu Opera, and later he did not learn to change the clock, and the second time he entered the 'Rongchun Society' was to learn erhu. My father-in-law told me that he was very obsessed with learning drama at that time, to what extent was he obsessed? In order to learn drama from Mr. Yang Baosen and listen to him sing, he asked where Mr. Yang Baosen lived, and then rented a house next to Mr. Yang. ”
Du Zhenjie said: "Although my father-in-law has received a formal education in the Peking Opera tradition all his life, he is not conservative at all, he has his own set of ideas. For example, now that he is mentioned, everyone can think of the role of Diao Deyi, when he created this character, he also deliberately asked his good friend Anderson, a famous actor in the art, Dong Xingyi, for advice on how to read the lines in the drama, so those lines in his play were carefully listened to, and the words were really very good. When we were in the Beijing Opera House in 2000, we wanted to rehearse "Sha Jiabang", and at that time, the head of the troupe consulted with me and wanted me to play the role of Diao Deyi, and I told my father-in-law that he advised me not to take this role, he said that because I had not seen the prototype of this kind of high-level agent, many actors now treat Diao Deyi as a rogue. At that time, in order to experience this role, in the forties, he saw many students who had returned from their days in the qianmen area, wearing gold wire glasses, crepe crepe, and acting as rogues who were completely out of shape. ”
Life is low-key and loves to drink cold beer
In life, people familiar with Ma Changli know that this artist is very low-key, in recent years he has been living in Beijing, but rarely appeared in public, Du Zhenjie said: "He also does not attend those important occasions, he plays with some Peking Opera lovers all day, he is also a very fashionable old man, like cameras, three-gun bicycles, and clocks, sometimes buy back a particularly good clock to disassemble, and then install." The old man's brain is particularly smart, once watched my performance of "Su Wu Shepherd", but also said that the back to use multimedia to a little wind, that should be more intentional! ”
"My father-in-law has diabetes, but he doesn't care much, when he was young, when he studied drama with Mr. Shang Xiaoyun, he developed a hobby - drinking cold beer, which he kept until he was old, even in winter, he liked to drink cold beer after the play, and sometimes add some ice cubes." Their generation's attitude towards life is particularly open-minded and optimistic, a lifetime of dashing, ordinary people are really incomparable. ”
It is reported that the date of Mr. Ma Changli's farewell ceremony has not yet been finalized, the family will be announced after consultation with the theater, and Mr. Du Zhenjie also entrusted the Beijing Morning Post to express his gratitude to the audience and readers who care about the elderly.
