As the national essence of China, Peking Opera is famous and world-renowned, and is an intangible cultural heritage of China and the world. In textbooks, there used to be a term called "Beijing opera". It can be seen that the degree of dazzling Peking Opera in the world, Peking Opera can be passed down in the historical evolution of the millennium, in addition to its own charm, it is also inseparable from the continuous promotion and inheritance of Peking Opera masters.
When it comes to Peking Opera masters, many people will think of Mei Lanfang, Shang Xiaoyun, Zhou Xinfang and other people, who are conscientious and down-to-earth in the theater industry, and have developed vigorously, and through their efforts to continuously carry forward Peking Opera and push it to the world. In particular, Mei Lanfang, a master of a generation, has been highly appreciated by people at home and abroad, whether it is the professional ability of Peking Opera or the patriotic personality charm, he is a well-deserved Master of Peking Opera.
Peking Opera is a unique cultural treasure in China, and some people have achieved fame and fortune through Peking Opera; some people have used Peking Opera for their own selfish interests and under the guise of promotion to worship the foreign world and betray the country.
For example, the Peking Opera master mentioned today, she has been popular all over the country, known as "Xiao Changbao", and has been affirmed by everyone. So why did she emigrate? What are the reasons for the reluctance to return home?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >, good family, high starting point</h1>
First of all, let's introduce Qi Shufang's origin and artistic career. In 1942, Qi Shufang was born in a family of Peking Opera, with a high starting point and a good birth, her eldest brother Qi Ying was the vice president of the Shanghai Peking Opera House, and her sister-in-law was Zhang Meijuan, who was known as "China's first female Wudan". "Near the water tower platform first get the moon", Qi Shufang in such an environment, has a strong interest in Peking Opera. Qi Shufang has been intelligent and studious since childhood, quick wit and a good voice, and she has a great singing temperament at a young age.
With the help of her family and her own efforts, Qi Shufang's path to Peking Opera was smooth sailing, and in her early years, she was carefully taught by her sister-in-law Zhang Meijuan, who taught her all her life's learning. It can be said that Qi Shufang won at the starting line at the beginning, and it is a kind of luck to be able to contact the guidance of top masters at a young age.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, strong strength, good times</h1>
Later, Qi Shufang was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy with excellent results with her talent. In this college, Qi Shufang was exposed to more professional and systematic learning, which laid the foundation for her subsequent popularity. In addition to her popularity, in addition to her strength, it is also more of a need of the times.
In the special period, the model drama swept the country, and Qi Shufang's achievements in the model drama were extraordinary.
In 1958, the 16-year-old Qi Shufang starred in "Three Battles Zhang Yue'e", she vividly interpreted a woman's strong and indomitable, handsome demeanor, and this performance was highly praised by the great man.
In 1960, the 18-year-old Qi Shufang was invited to perform at the Palace of National Culture, and with her outstanding performance, she was deeply appreciated by the audience, and the prime minister said to Qi Shufang: There is a great future for development. Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang also praised Qi Shufang as a "rising star and not to be underestimated".
Under the push of everyone, Qi Shufang quickly became popular all over the country, and many people compared her to the darling of the Peking Opera industry, and she could access top resources at a young age, which was really envious of others, and it was difficult for everyone to praise and succeed.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, starred in "Xiao Changbao", and went to the United States to perform</h1>
After that, Qi Shufang began to move towards an acting career of playing "Xiao Changbao". From 1965 to 1976, during the turbulent decades, Qi Shufang followed the trend and played the role of "Little Changbao" in "Wise Tiger Mountain".
"Wise Tiger Mountain" is the memory of generations, the classic is not fading, inspiring, and Qi Shufang's scene of playing "Xiao Changbao" in this model play is quite shocking, and her role is quite classic and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she has also become a hot female star of that era.
Chinese audiences like her, the art system recognizes her, and at this rate of development, Qi Shufang can leave an immortal work in the Chinese Peking opera world.
However, the truth is always "teasing" life, and Qi Shufang, after seeing the beauty of foreign countries, was dissatisfied with the situation of poverty and backward conditions at home. In fact, Qi Shufang has long had the heart of immigrants, and her yearning for foreign countries has made her heart want to move.
In 1963, the 21-year-old Qi Shufang's team was invited to tour Western European countries, and this tour was unprecedentedly grand and highly praised by various countries. After Qi Shufang felt the development and beauty of foreign countries, she began to have the idea of emigrating abroad.
However, at this time, Qi Shufen had already established a family in China, and he married Gong Guotai, a colleague of the same troupe, gong Guotai deeply loved Qi Shufang, loved her talent, loved her appearance, so he took good care of her.
However, this did not exchange Qi Shufang's gratitude and care, and Qi Shufang was accustomed to this kind of care? For her, Gong Guotai is just a husband, and there is no too much emotion to speak of, and Gong Guotai's efforts seem to be more wishful thinking.
In 1988, this year was the year when Qi Shufang completely "let go of herself".
This year, the Shanghai Theater Troupe sent Qi Shufang's small team to perform in the United States, and out of respect for China's Peking Opera, the United States treated Qi Shufang's team with VIP treatment.
At that time, China had just been reforming and opening up for ten years, and its domestic economy was in urgent need of development. At that time, the U.S. economy was already ahead of the world, and Qi Shufang and his team refused to return to China after the performance, choosing to stay in the United States and accept the preferential treatment given to them by the United States.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > fourth, abandoning the country and staying in the United States</h1>
When they heard that Qi Shufang led the team to collectively stay in the United States and did not want to return to China, the Shanghai Peking Opera Troupe and the Shanghai cultural system were shocked by the world, and no one would have thought that the "little Changbao" that this country was strongly embraced had wolf ambitions.
What is even more chilling is that she ignored her husband's bitter pleas and did not want to return to China, showed no mercy to her husband, and instead chose to marry Ding Meikui, the leader of the troupe. To raise their own motherland, to the national slaves abroad, Qi Shufang made many domestic fans completely chill.
However, she did not realize that there was anything wrong with what she said and did, and what was even more shocking was that Qi Shufang would rather choose to sell on the streets than return to China.
You know, without China's cultivation and support, where is her fame and fame inside and outside?
The means of ingratitude and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge were used by Qi Shufang to the fullest.
When she saw that China was gradually developing, Qi Shufang may have wanted to leave a way back for herself, declaring that her team stayed in the United States to promote Peking Opera, and in order to increase her persuasiveness, she deliberately added a reason: she refused to return to China at the beginning because of pressure from the United States. How many people can believe this statement?
This statement is tantamount to covering their ears and ringing bells, and their verbal explanations seem so pale and ridiculous in the face of what they have done.
What is even more embarrassing is that Qi Shufang quickly got a green card in the United States, established the first Peking Opera group in the United States, and officially settled in the United States in May 1988.
Doesn't it say that the good is in the oppressed? Why did you ignore China's call and choose to settle in the United States?
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, settled in the United States, should not regret the beginning? </h1>
Subsequently, Qi Shufang founded the "Qi Shufang Peking Opera Troupe" in New York and began the promotion of the so-called Peking Opera in the United States. Qi Shufang's fame in the early years made Qi Shufang famous, and it is not surprising that her development in the United States has flourished. Her betrayal made everyone feel sad, and no one would have thought that this woman would be so desperate and say that she would dedicate herself to art for China?
She has no worries in the United States, and she is on a steady path, let's take a look at Qi Shufang's american development path.
In August 1992, Qi Shufang was invited to perform at the Lincoln Center Outdoor Arts Festival and received a lot of praise.
In January 1998, the performance took advantage of Weihu Mountain and re-emerged as a classic and amazing.
In September 2001, Qi Shufang won the highest traditional art award in the United States.
Because of her mastery in the art of Peking Opera, Qi Shufang appeared in the New York Times in October 2001, and American reporters praised Qi Shufang with a large article.
At this time, Qi Shufang, who is more than half a hundred years old, is still active in front of the major stages, full of spirits, many people have asked her when to return to China, Qi Shufang firmly replied: Never return to China.
In the name of promoting Peking Opera, seeking the interests of Peking Opera is really disgraceful.
In January 2003, Qi Shufang led more than 70 people on Broadway and performed "The Lady of Yangmen", although she was old, the performance was effortless.
In February 2007, he received an invitation to participate in the International Arts Festival in Canada, which once again caused a sensation.
With the honor added, Qi Shufang never regretted her decision.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > summary</h1>
On March 19, 2001, the United States filmed the premiere of the large-scale art documentary "Peking Opera Master Qi Shufang and the Monkey King" for Qi Shufang. Her development path in the United States can be described as smooth and smooth.
For more than 20 years, Qi Shufang has insisted on leading the team to participate in tours and lectures in various states and cities in the United States, and won the highest traditional artistic achievement award in the United States, many people call him a cultural ambassador of China in the United States, and achieved fame and fortune in his later years, but her evaluation is mixed, and her character is controversial.
Some people think that even if she has a high achievement, the matter of "treason" will be a stain on her life, and no statement can erase it. When the country is in urgent need of development, leading a team to openly settle in the United States and fail to live up to the cultivation of the state is really disgraceful, and even if it is successful, it will not be respected by Chinese descendants.
Compared with Mei Lanfang, the reason why mei Lanfang is famous is not only because of her excessive peking opera attainments, but also because of her high patriotic feelings, and only an artist with a heart for the country can be called a master. A talented person can only have practical value if he uses his talent in reality, otherwise he is a wanderer without a destination, Chinese pay attention to the return of fallen leaves to the roots, can Qi Shufang's soul return to his hometown in his old age?
Some people also believe that art knows no borders, and perhaps Qi Shufang really just wants to promote Chinese Peking Opera. It's just that in the process of promotion, selfishness makes her, although she is an artist, she is also a normal person, what is wrong with people going to a high place? At that time, the United States satisfied all of Qi Shufang's imagination of a "good life", and fame and fortune were not what most people were struggling to pursue?
Today's China is no longer the China of the past, many foreign artists have come to China to study, China has a long history of thousands of years, whether it is economic strength or cultural development space, far from losing to the United States. If Qi Shufang's team had known that Today's China would be so developed, it would have regretted its original decision, right? If you had chosen to stay in China, you wouldn't have been treated worse than the United States, right?
