Xiao Lin and Li Guosheng were once a pair of fire stalls in the cross-talk industry. The "Learning to Broadcast" that they co-said was widely circulated, and the "Laughing Forest Radio Station" in it was the memory of a generation. This article Xiao Tao will talk about this golden partner.

Xiao Lin's original name was Zhao Xuelin. In the 1970s, Xiao Lin made up his own mind and changed his name to Zhao Xiaolin. The reason is very simple, others are "approving the forest", and then calling it "xuelin" is definitely not welcome. Coincidentally, Ma Guirong's ex-husband is also called Zhao Xiaolin, who is also in the cross-talk circle. It is said that XiaoLin was once renamed "Zhao Beilin", and "Bei" is Chaplin's other to show the difference.

Some people say that the name "Laughing Forest" was taken by Li Guyi. In fact, when Li Guyi met Xiaolin, Xiaolin had changed his name to "Zhao Xiaolin", and Li Guyi just suggested removing the word "Zhao". She felt that the name "Laughing Forest" was louder. Loud is loud, ridiculous Lin his father feels aggrieved: say a cross-talk, why don't you say your surname? Many viewers really think that Laughing Lin is surnamed Laughing. Don't laugh, although there is no laughter in the hundred family names, there is really this surname. According to statistics, there are about a thousand people in the country with the surname Laugh.
Here Xiao Tao has one more word to say. Li Boxiang had an apprentice named "Secret Treasure Cai". Although the surname is "secret" of the secretary, it should be pronounced as the Peruvian "secret" (homophonous with Bi). In some places, people do not pronounce "Bi" but "Bei". This surname is not only rare, but also a polysyllabic word.

Xiao Lin is a native of Beijing. He studied Shandong Kuaishu when he was a child, and only later learned cross-talk. In 1979, Xiao Lin was admitted to the Beijing Qu Art Troupe and became a professional cross-talk actor. Xiao Lin later took Ma Ji as his teacher. Among the many division brothers, he ranked fifth, behind Jiang Kun, Zhao Yan, Liu Wei and Feng Gong, but before Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui. Wang Qianxiang is eight years older than Xiao Lin, and Li Zengrui is one year older than Wang Qianxiang. It can be seen that Ma Jiajun does not judge the size of the age, but ranks the seats according to the time of entering the door.
In 1993, Xiao Lin was transferred to the railway literary troupe rap group where Hou Yaowen belonged. In 2007, Xiao Lin became the head of the rap group. Xiao Lin can become famous, and he cannot do without a person, this person is not Hou Yaowen, but Li Guosheng.

Li Guosheng was born in Beijing and his hometown is in Hebei. In the 1950s, he participated in cross-talk tutoring classes organized by radio rap companies and has since stepped into the cross-talk circle. It is said that in the cross-talk tutoring class, Li Guosheng once received a personal biography from Liu Baorui, the king of stand-up.
In 1962, Li Guosheng was specially recruited by the troops and entered the Chengdu Military Region Battle Flag Song and Dance Troupe to say cross-talk. Han Hong's father, Han Dejiang, is also a cross-talk actor in the Battle Flag Song and Dance Troupe. Li Guosheng only changed his profession and returned to Beijing in 1970. In terms of time, they should have worked together. Han Dejiang is a disciple of Liu Baorui, Li Guosheng is a student of Liu Baorui, and both of them went from Beijing, so they should be close to each other, but Li Guosheng has been a guest TV station several times, and he has never talked about Han Dejiang.

After returning to Beijing, Li Guosheng was assigned to the Beijing Camera Factory. Later, the reason why he was able to return to the professional team was related to a person, and this person was Hou Baolin. Hou Baolin still partnered with Guo Quanbao after his comeback, but Guo Quanbao's health was not very good, and Hou Baolin wanted to find a new partner who was younger.
Li Guosheng was Luo Rongshou's apprentice, and Luo Rongshou's wife was Hou Baolin's sister. Because of this relationship, Hou Baolin remembered Li Guosheng, who worked in the factory. He talked to Li Guosheng. Li Guosheng was afraid of dragging his feet, so he pushed back and said, "Where can I go?" Hou Baolin asked Li Guosheng, "If you want to be afraid of this, how can you eat this bowl of rice?" After talking, Li Guosheng went to Master's house. Luo Rongshou said to Li Guosheng, "What are you hesitating about?" You stand next to him, not the same as whoever you stand next to! Three years with him is equivalent to learning art again. Luo Rongshou said, "Go, you must go!" Didn't go, how do you know it's not okay? Li Guosheng agreed to try it.
Li Guosheng said to himself, giving Hou Baolin a hug, and he had been very nervous for the first half of the year
As for whether Li Guosheng can be competent, Hou Baolin also played drums in his heart and wanted to use the performance to investigate. On the afternoon of the first performance, Li Guosheng arrived at Hou's house early and wanted to correct the words, but Hou Baolin chatted with him and pulled things around. Li Guosheng couldn't hold his breath and asked Hou Baolin, "What should I pay attention to?" Hou Baolin replied, "You can do whatever you want, and be down-to-earth in your heart." After touching a soft nail, Li Guosheng did not dare to ask again. Fortunately, the preparation was sufficient, Li Guosheng did not make any mistakes in the performance, and successfully passed Hou Baolin's inspection.
After the performance, Hou Baolin said to Li Guosheng: "You can do it, one sentence is correct." We'll be both from now on. Li Guosheng was so relieved that the heart hanging in his throat was released. Li Guosheng cooperated with Hou Baolin for two years. It was with this experience, coupled with the fact that Luo Rongshou was a pillar of the troupe, that Li Guosheng was smoothly transferred to the Beijing Qu Art Troupe.

After Hou Baolin bid farewell to the stage, Li Guosheng unloaded the burden of thousands of gold on his shoulders. However, new problems arise. He had to find a new partner.
There is no size on the stage, and there are rules under the stage. Li Guosheng is Xiao Lin's uncle
Li Guosheng joined the Beijing Qu Art Troupe in the same year as Xiaolin, but Li Guosheng was 17 years older than Xiaolin. In the year Xiao Lin was born, Li Guosheng had already married his daughter-in-law in his hometown in Hebei. Li Guosheng has two sons and a daughter, and the youngest child is only 7 years younger than Xiao Lin. They were two generations.
Whether this pair of old and young is a free combination or a leader matchmaker, Xiao Tao does not know, what he can know is that they will soon emerge on the national cross-talk stage. After winning the second prize of the National Quyi Performance in 1981, they won the second prize of the 1984 National Cross-Talk Competition for "Reform Measures". Also winning the second prize were Chang Baofeng and Wang Peiyuan, Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui.
In 1986, Xiao Lin and Li Guosheng were invited to participate in the "First National Provincial and Municipal Television Cross-Talk Invitational Competition" held by CCTV, and won the third prize of "A Bucket of Cans" and won the third prize of "A Bucket of Cans". Also winning the third prize were Li Boxiang, Du Guozhi, Shi Xiaojie and Li Lishan.

In 1995, at the "Hou Baolin Golden Film Award" TV Cross-Talk Grand Prix, Xiao Lin won the "Hou Baolin Golden Statue Award" together with Ma Ji, Niu Qun, Jiang Kun, Feng Gong, Li Jindou, Hou Yaowen and Tang Jiezhong. Xiao Lin was the least senior of the winners, but the weight of the trophy was the heaviest of the many trophies he won.
In addition to the heavy trophies, Xiao Lin has been on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for eight times, six of which are performing cross-talk, and the partner is of course Li Guosheng. The one that made them famous throughout the country was 1987's "Learning to Broadcast". Co-author Xiao Lin will not only learn to sing, but also learn to broadcast. The "Laughing Forest Radio Station" was officially opened. After Xiaolin's death, some viewers said bitterly: "Xiaolin Radio has since stopped broadcasting!" ”

On March 23, 2015, Xiao Lin died of leukemia at the age of 59. Hou Yaowen was also 59 years old when he died. Hou Yaowen's master, Zhao Peiru, was also 59 years old when he died. Hopefully, it's just a coincidence.
Former CCTV host Dong Hao is Xiao Lin's hair small. According to his recollection, Xiao Lin had a fever a few years ago, dragged to the hospital until the fourth grade, and entered the intensive care unit on the fifth day of the first year. After entering, Xiao Lin could not come out. After Xiao Lin's death, Li Guosheng took his illness and went to Babao Mountain to bid farewell. He told reporters: "We have had a very troubled year. ”
Xiao Lin changed his career to become a TV host
It is said that cross-talk partners are like husband and wife, and one day husband and wife are 100 days. After Li Guosheng retired, Xiao Lin did not say a word and faded out of the cross-talk stage. In addition to working as a telegrapher or host, he became a special host of a television station. He has hosted the CCTV Channel 7 "Daily Agricultural Classics" and beijing radio "Laughing Forest Talks About the Case" column. As for why he no longer said crosstalk, he explained it like this: "Teacher Li Guosheng retired, we have cooperated for more than thirty years, we have not changed partners, it feels like two mouths." If you change other people's partners, you feel uncomfortable, so I won't say it. ”
Xiao Tao said that the most precious thing about Xiao Lin is to start from the beginning, not only saying it, but also doing it. Of course, all cross-talk actors cannot be required to be like Xiaolin, but Xiaolin is undoubtedly a clear stream and admirable.

Time is like an arrow, and time flies. Today, Li Guosheng is eighty-one, and his eldest grandson is thirty or more.
Li Guosheng and his wife Wang Jingying have long been married to diamonds
Li Guosheng's old partner Wang Jingying is one year older than Li Guosheng. She was originally illiterate and did not know a few words until after attending literacy classes. The first time she wrote a letter to Li Guosheng in Chengdu, she only wrote two and a half lines, but wrote for four whole days. This reminded Xiao Tao of the traditional cross-talk "Shanxi Jiaxin".
Her wife, who was in her hometown in Shanxi, wrote a letter to her husband, who was doing business in other places, but she could not read, so she had to use pictures to pronoun. She drew a lotus root, and the lotus was broken, and the silk inside was not broken, and next to the lotus, there was a small piece of carbon, which was the carbon used for the furnace. She also drew two pigeons, a duck and an elephant, with a knife rolled up in its nose, and when the elephant turned its head, the tip of the knife was right into the neck of the goose, and the blood flowed down the neck of the goose.
The person who carried the letter secretly opened the letter, but did not understand it, and the recipient not only understood it, but also shed tears. It turns out that "the lotus is broken, the silk inside is not broken, next to the lotus, there is a small piece of carbon" means long thought (silk) short sigh (carbon). "Two pigeons, one duck" is brother, brother. Because these two sons are cousins, the wife calls her husband "brother". "There is a knife rolled up on the elephant's nose, and as soon as the elephant turns back, the tip of the knife is just pierced into the neck of the goose, and the blood flows down the neck of the goose", it looks complicated, in fact, it is only four words - want to (elephant) burn (kill) me (goose)!

Wang Jingying could not draw, the writing was crooked, and there were typos, but Li Guosheng also understood. As for whether he shed tears or not, Xiao Tao didn't know. However, judging from the content of the letter, Li Guosheng should not have shed tears, because Wang Jingying did not write "I want to burn me." She wrote: "Mother, the body is very good, the children, the eldest has gone to school, the second has not yet, the third let the grandmother take away, I lightly saved." ”
Wang Jingying has no culture and never watches Li Guosheng's performances. Perhaps under the influence of his mother, Neither of Li Guosheng's sons inherited their father's business. Li Guosheng and Wang Jingying belong to an arranged marriage, and their educational level and social status are very different, but they have walked hand in hand for more than sixty years. Of course, all young people cannot be required to be like Li Guosheng, but Li Guosheng is undoubtedly the representative of the model couple and is admired.
epilogue
The story of Xiao Lin and Li Guosheng is really not something that can be said in this article. Gao Yuqun, a veteran music theorist and writer in Tianjin, compiled a book called "Partners" before his death, which described 23 pairs of cross-talk partners, and Xiao Tao felt that this was a pity. In any case, in the history of Chinese cross-talk, there should be a place for Xiao Lin and Li Guosheng, the former golden partner.
