Life in the world is to make people laugh, and occasionally laugh at others.
Guo Degang", "Just Lived"
When I first read the first few pages of "Just Lived", I was attracted by Guo Degang's short sentences, the same tone as cross-talk, chewing words, allusions, humor and self-deprecation.
In his preface, he says in the last sentence: "If, you don't understand this book." Well, buy another copy. ”
From a grammatical point of view, it is a good way to write, and from a linguistic point of view, it is also funny and humorous. However, according to traditional practice, it is generally used "please more Haihan", "despise talents and shallow learning, inevitably... I hope you are elegant", and so on. Instead of "Then, buy another copy." The turn of the "twist" gives people the illusion of exaggeration, and those who do not know it and look for chapters and excerpts may give birth to a few secret scoldings.
According to the book, Guo Degang was constantly excluded and suppressed from the music and art circles and the cross-talk circles, and even some people kept calculating and predicting that he would suddenly be unable to do it in what year and month.
As a result, he traveled all the way, in the wind and rain, tossing and turning for more than 20 years, from the small tea house to the Deyun Society, he established a foothold in beijing and promoted Chinese cross-talk around the world.

Perhaps it is precisely because he has made great efforts to overcome the opinions of the people and has new ideas that he has not followed the rules, has not played cards according to the traditional old routines, and finally has today's achievements, and he can see the "blossoms" of life.
The first half of "Just Lived" talks about his own life experience, and the second half is a bit of a taste of picking up the missing pieces. Small fragments from Weibo and personal past life records were selected, including personal work sentiments, daily life records, and the elegant interest of poetry composition. Although the publisher introduced the book as an autobiography, it is actually an excerpt and collection of past articles.
Guo Degang was born in Tianjin in 1973 to a policeman father and a teacher to a mother. He played in theaters and teahouses since he was a child, and had no fear of the stage. His only hobby is crosstalk, "can't drink, can't smoke, can't play poker, can't dance". He regarded cross-talk as his own destiny, not giving in any piece of land, and fighting for everything. He said that if you don't say crosstalk, you will have no way to live, just like a fish leaving the water.
Wish well, things are hard to do. To succeed in a certain profession, you will experience very human tolerable tribulations.
Guo Degang is no exception, the most difficult time, the noodles are boiled paste and enlarged onions, and eaten hot every day. But there is something more bitter than this, which is not mentioned in his book, and will not be mentioned here. He visited Beijing three times, and only slowly took root after 1995. To sum up the past, he used the word "boiling".
There is a saying in China that a daughter-in-law for many years becomes a wife. The same "boiling" word will have a variety of ways to write, such as torment, boiling, and boiling over, surviving the past. People who have been suffering are easy to give up; people who have been in the process of being tortured will slowly survive and be exercised. Hundreds of steel, and finally into positive results.

Before watching "Just enough", my impression of Guo Degang was that he was a shrewd and strong literati student, but he had a serious face, and he was a person with goods in his stomach and something in his head. Whether sitting or standing, it is stable. But when he saw him looking at the four sides and hearing the eight sides, the soldiers came to cover the water. When talking to someone, sharp teeth, laughing and scolding, you never know what he will say next.
After reading it, I have a deeper understanding of his cultural knowledge. He said, "My study is bigger than the theater, and I can immediately take out the books you can say and show them to you." "It can be seen that there are many books in the collection, and the books I read by myself must be quite a lot."
Two years ago, I had chased Guo Degang's stand-up comedy "Pit King Driving" program in iQiyi, and I liked his storytelling style and admired his ability to familiarize himself with historical allusions. Now after watching "Just enough", Fang understands that he is a person who reads a lot of books and accumulates thick hair. There is no ink in the belly, how can it be a good paragraph?

As for his anger, I think it was innate. At least it is the habit of often wandering the theater since I was a child, or I have practiced the skill of lepers in the constant siege of my peers. In the book, he constantly mentions the dirty things among his peers, which shows his personal anger and dissatisfaction.
What is even more infuriating is that eighty percent of the obstruction comes from within the cross-talk industry, and the black guns from their own people are more than the pain, but also the chill...
There is also a sentence: "The mouth of the artist, the water of the bathhouse." "
This reminds me of Master Hu's words: "If a man wants to accomplish something, one must be popular and popular, and the other is to smell the smell, one is indispensable." "And Guo Degang, there are both, the popularity of the literary is not yet full, and the anger is exposed and is converging." Guo Degang said that there were rumors that he was like a triad, but someone was deliberately misleading and misleading people who did not know it.
When it comes to Guo Degang's vulgarity and elegance, it is not difficult to understand. If you can say cross-talk well, and you can say that decades have been booming, you must have grasped the customary and elegant fire, and grasped it just right. If you are crepe and high, it is estimated that not many audience members will understand it; if you follow the customs and have no bottom line, it is estimated that you will be invited to drink tea by the relevant departments.
Even Zhao Benshan, who sang duos in the countryside in the early days, cried out that everyone did not understand folk art and misunderstood the lyrics in the countryside. In fact, those sentences that can amuse the villagers in the countryside are rogues without a lower limit, and moderation is a glamorous word, who does not understand?
For Guo Degang, he naturally understood, and he understood better than Zhao Benshan. Between the elegant and the customary, he swings a beautiful curve, one in one, one in one, one in one, between the inches, all in control.
In the Chinese chapter of the book, he ridiculed in an ironic tone that others were suspicious of attacking him for cross-talk, and said:
You have to elevate your taste, to be elegant. Remember, Skynet is restored, fat but not greasy. For actors, they should be self-respecting, I know that there is an actor who does not respect himself at all, and finally Hang Er Lang is imprisoned, this actor is called Hang Er. Walking down the street, the oncoming people made me feel that I couldn't open my eyes. Some people wear tank tops and shorts and go out on the street, are they people? Others come out in pajamas and pajamas, not self-respecting. And to the pool you look at, still wear a swimsuit, want a face? With bare arms, bare thighs, too vulgar. Now the swimsuit is also very bad, the past swimsuit, open the swimsuit to see the butt, the current swimsuit to open the ass to see the swimsuit.
He also said:
Nowadays, many people like to watch yellow movies, such as Aoi Ku, Ai Iijima, Maria Ozawa, Muto Ran, Hatano Yui, Asakura Yu, Akira Yoshizawa, Sho Nishino, Ozawa Maku and so on. I'm looking at it critically, I'm going to see how far they're going to degenerate, what I'm going to do when I stay up late, and most importantly, "anti-three-way."
When a person can use this self-deprecating and introspective attitude to ironize others, he is actually in control of the overall situation, steadily guiding the speech in his favor.

In addition, the book also tells the story of Guo Degang and his master Hou Yaowen, senior Zhang Wenshun, Guo Degang and his partners Yu Qian, Guo Degang and his apprentice Yue Yunpeng. As can be seen from the article, he is a man with a heavy heart and a responsibility.
Before I wrote this article, I wanted to check whether there were any relevant comments on Douban, but unfortunately, most of them were critical of the book, and even many accounts left messages advising everyone not to buy and not to read.
This gave me the opportunity to write an article about my post-reading feelings as soon as possible.
What kind of person is suitable for reading "Just Lived"? Gang Si Powder, a little old, has a setback experience, wants to know Guo Degang.
Finally, I would like to borrow a sentence from the book, as the end of this article, and it is also precisely to interpret and summarize why Guo Degang can say cross-talk well, and still say so prosperous and so promising.
There is such a sentence in "The Tea House": I love the Great Qing Kingdom, and I am afraid that it is finished. I use the same sentence: I love crosstalk, I'm afraid it's over.
