Today, Xing Wenzhao, a national-level cross-talk actor and one of the "Four Elders of Deyun", passed away. Deyun Society cross-talk actors Zhang Yunlei and Sun Yue successively posted tributes on Weibo.
Many people don't know much about who the "Four Elders of Deyun" are. First of all, let's talk about the history of Deyun Society, in 1995, the Beijing Cross-Talk Conference was established, at first only Guo Degang, Li Jing and Zhang Wenshun, and later, Xu Deliang, Xing Wenzhao and others joined. In 2003, dozens of cross-talk actors gathered, and the Beijing Cross-Talk Conference changed the performance location and the name was changed, called "Deyun Society". Subsequently, Guo Degang recruited apprentices, He Yunwei, Cao Yunjin and others began to join the Deyun Society.
At present, the three people who remained in Deyun Society have passed away: Zhang Wenshun (died in 2009), Li Wenshan (died in 2017), and Xing Wenzhao (died in 2019). There is also Wang Wenlin, who followed Xu Deliang out of the Deyun Society. According to Guo Degang's agent, at present, Deyun She, together with his family, is taking care of the aftermath of Teacher Xing Wenzhao. Before his death, Xing Wenzhao was good at holding up and stand-up comedy.
This incident also alarmed the well-known cross-talk actor He Yunwei (formerly known as He Wei, now renamed He Huwei, first worshiped Guo Degang and then left the Deyun Society, worshiped Hou Yaohua as a teacher), just tonight, He Yunwei sent a microblog to mourn: Shocked to hear that the famous cross-talk artist Mr. Xing Kezhao has passed away, mourning with deep sorrow, Grandpa Xing is good.
If you don't look carefully, some netizens may not see any "hidden mysteries". If you look closely, you will find that He Yunwei mourns "Xing Kezhao". Could it be that He Yunwei made a typo?
In fact, according to public information, Xing Wenzhao, one of the four elders of Deyun, is Liu Baorui's apprentice, and his original name is indeed Xing Kezhao.
At this time, He Yunwei called Xing Wenzhao's original name, what do you think is the intention?
