Many young music audiences know Jin Wensheng from Guo Degang's worship. In his later years, Jin Wensheng still lived a hard life, and after the old age, Hua Jia still made a living by storytelling in a small bookstore that could only accommodate dozens of people in Tianjin. It was not until after receiving the four apprentices of the "Fulu Shouxi" who were already famous in the Xiangsheng Gate that their lives improved. As an old artist who came from the old society, in order to make a living, Jin Wensheng knew a lot of things among the artists of the same era.
In his early years, Jin Wensheng studied Peking Opera, and later turned to the music art circle due to voice problems, and successively learned Shandong Kuaishu, Xihe Big Drum, Commentary, and Allegro. Although the industry has mixed praise and criticism of his performance skills, the jianghu drifting from the art of life is also a role that does not pressure the body. In the "Cross-Talk Master Inheritance Relationship Spectrum", Jin Wensheng has a master, who is Wang Fenglao, the founder of the "Wang Pai" Allegro who has praised Ma Sanye for many years. Strictly speaking, Jin Wensheng did not learn cross-talk with Mr. Wang Fengshan, and the so-called teacher-inheritance relationship was discussed from the branch of Allegro. In fact, Jin Wensheng himself is still a little "reluctant" about this master-apprentice relationship.
Jin Wensheng is a native of Jinan, Shandong, and at that time, he opened his own "Xiaole Theater" as both a class master and an actor, mainly known for saying Shandong Fast Books. In 1949, Mr. Wang Fengshan went south to Jinan to sell art and became acquainted with Jin Wensheng. Out of love for Wang Fengshan's allegro skills, Jin Wensheng successively learned from Wang Fengshan "Entering the Street", "Sitting on the Number of Nobles", "Tongrentang", "Wusong Dadian", "Double Lock Mountain" and other allegro passages, but he has not been a teacher, nor has he had a mentor-apprentice relationship with Koumeng. Until 1952, Mr. Wang Fengshan was invited to perform at the famous Chenguang Tea House in Jinan, when the palm of the Chenguang Tea House was Sun Shaolin, the "Son of Dalai". According to Jin Wensheng's recollection: At that time, Sun Shaolin said to me, "You love Allegro so much, you worship him, I am a guarantor." In this way, the two masters and apprentices ate a meal of noodles at Sun Shaolin's house, and at that time, it was considered to be a worship service. But this matter was not witnessed by other peers, and Jin Wensheng did not pay too much attention to it.
Later, Wang Fengshan first left the Chenguang Tea House to perform in Wuhan, and then returned to Tianjin to join the Tianjin Radio Qu Art Troupe. Until 1955, Jin Wensheng was invited by his peers to plan to go north to Guanwai, who knew that the money was stolen on the way, and he had no choice but to get off the bus in Tianjin to find his colleagues to rescue him. When he heard that the most lively place in Tianjin Quyi juggling was in Bird City, Hebei Province, Jin Wensheng went straight to the Baiming Tea House and saw that the water sign outside had Wang Fengshan's name written on it. When I came to the backstage and found Wang Fengshan, when the Tianjin Radio Quyi Troupe happened to have a performance in this garden, Wang Fengshan introduced the apprentice who had collected in Jinan to Zhao Kuiying, the leader of the group at the time, and expressed his hope that he would also join the Quyi Troupe. According to the custom, it was necessary to "check the life", when Jin Wensheng made a shandong quick book "Wusong Rush meeting", which was praised and recognized by Ma Sanli, Zhang Shouchen and other predecessors. Zhang Shouye commented on him: "Twenty years old, fifty years old art." This sentence made Jin Wensheng proud of his life. Of course, the final result was satisfactory, and he joined the Quyi Troupe as he wished.
Subsequently, Jin Wensheng also performed at the Baiming Tea House. One day, he had just arrived at the entrance of the garden and looked up at the water sign, which was impressively written Shandong Express Book actor Jin Wensheng. Immediately found the backstage manager and asked: "How can a performance of two people who talk about fast books, how to do this?" Who is Jin Wensheng? The steward replied, "Isn't that you?" Mr. Wang Fengshan said, you are his apprentice, his son is called Wen Yuan (Wang Wenyuan, stage name Xiao Suozi), and the apprentice is called Wen Sheng. At that time, even he did not know that his name was Jin Wensheng, and before that, Jin Wensheng's stage name was "King Kong". The radio newspapers were sent out, and they could not be changed, and the radio station also gave him this name to his account.
Since then, Jin Wensheng has tacitly acquiesced to the name. Until my later years, when I recalled studying art with Mr. Wang Fengshan, I couldn't help but sigh: "I entered the radio station under the name of Wang Fengshan's apprentice, and until now I retire, I still get a salary from the radio station, so I can't help but admit that I am his apprentice." Wang Fengshan's statement that I am his apprentice is not unfounded..."
