Changjia is a giant in China's cross-talk industry. Xiao Tao has written eight articles on the Changjia theme series, and this is the ninth. In the article "Chang Baohua died, he did two controversial things in his later years, one of which was misunderstood by netizens", Xiao Tao distributed a family portrait photo of the Chang family. Recently, xiao Tao found out that the annotations at that time were wrong after reading Chang Baofeng's dictated book "My Father Chang Lian'an". As for what mistakes there were, Rong Xiaotao would talk about it later, first of all, Chang Baofeng's father and chang Lian'an, the head of the Chang family.
At that time, the Chang family could perform a cross-talk drama
Chang Lian'an is not surnamed Chang. His grandfather's surname was Zhaoqing, a Manchu, and he was born in the eunuch family of Zhengbaiqi, and his family was well-off. Chang Lian'an's father grew up reading poetry and books, and he was omnipotent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In Chang Lian'an's generation, because the imperial court canceled Feng Lu, the chang family's day was Wang Xiao'er's New Year, and one year was not as good as a year. In 1906, Chang Lian'an's father fell seriously ill and died tragically. At that time, Chang Lian'an was only 8 years old.
In order to make a living, the mother had to remarry. Chang Lian'an's stepfather was a patrol officer and honest. Tianqiao juggler Wu San is the stepfather's younger brother. Through Wu Santuo, Chang Lian'an entered the pear garden line. Chang Lian'an worshiped Zhu Yulong as his teacher, and the master gave him the stage name "Xiao Xinkui". Chang Lian'an later wrote about this experience of learning art in "Self-Description". He wrote: "Every day life is not as good as cattle and horses, waiting for people is a trivial matter, and you must be beaten twice a day... All year round, there are always scars all over the body, and it will never go down. Chang Lian'an later called Zhu Yulong "Zhu Mou", and there was another reason.
Zhu Yulong set up a grass platform team and went to Vladivostok to perform. At that time, singers generally went to Vladivostok first, and only after being recognized could they go to Shanghai, but Zhu Yulong lost Maicheng. Due to poor management, his drama class was soon disbanded, and Zhu Yulong sold Chang Lian'an to his peer Ding Junting. The online legend that Chang Lian'an was abducted and sold to Vladivostok is about Chang Lian'an's experience.
Ding Junting was Chang Lian'an's second master. Chang Lian'an followed Ding Junting around again. In 1912, Ding Junting died of illness. Chang Lian'an met Boss Xu of Yanji Opera Garden in Hunchun, followed Xu to Yanji, and worshiped Mr. Ji in the theater garden as his righteous father.
Yang Shaohua's (right) master is Guo Rongqi, who is Chang Lian'an's brother-in-law
Chang Lian left home and missed his mother all the time. One day, he had the idea of returning to Beijing. Yi Father knew Officer Geng of the police station. Knowing that Officer Geng was going back to his hometown of Cangzhou, Hebei, his father asked Officer Geng to take Chang Lian'an with him. Of course, you can't let people help. The righteous father was really good to Chang Lian'an, but Chang Lian'an returned to his heart like an arrow, bid farewell to the righteous father, and followed Officer Geng on the way home. After arriving in Tianjin, Officer Geng sent Chang Lian'an on a train to Beijing, and Chang Lian'an returned to his hometown after a six-year absence.
After returning to Beijing, Chang Lian'an was admitted to the first class of Chinese Peking Opera, Fu Liancheng. Chang Lian'an attended Fu Liancheng's second ligature class, and Peking Opera performance artist Ma Lianliang was Chang Lian'an's classmate. Changlian'an was originally named Chang'an, so it was renamed Changlian'an.
Chang Lian'an said that crosstalk was a later thing
In the third year of the composition, Chang Lian'an's voice collapsed, and he could not even speak for a while, but although he improved, he could no longer sing, so he had to drop out of school, and a peking opera superstar of tomorrow fell. The following year, his parents entrusted someone to tell 19-year-old Chang Lian'an about a family affair. Chang Lian'an married his daughter-in-law, but his stepfather died of illness. As the only man in the family, Chang Lian'an took on the responsibility of supporting the family. In order to make a living, he followed Wu Tie'an to learn tricks.
Last year was the centenary of Chang's crosstalk. In fact, a hundred years ago, Chang Lian'an did not say cross-talk, and Xiao Tao did not know why 1918 was set as the first year of Chang's cross-talk. As for when Chang Lian'an began to speak crosstalk, Rong Xiaotao would talk about it later.
He Shuqing was mistakenly written as He Shuqing, missing Chang Lian'an (image from Chang Baofeng's book)
Speaking of this, Xiao Tao would like to talk about the family portrait. The photograph was taken in 1961, when Chang Lian'an's original partner, Tian Ying, and his eldest son, Chang Baokun, had both died. Tian Ying died of illness in 1936, and Chang Baokun died in the Korean battlefield in 1951. In the article mentioned at the beginning, Xiao Tao mistakenly regarded the second lady He Shuqing as Tian Ying, and Chang Baozhu as He Shuqing. Xiao Tao apologized to the Chang family and the vast number of netizens here.
Tian Ying and He Shuqing each bore six children for the Chang family. Tian Ying is the biological mother of Chang Baokun, Chang Baolin and Chang Baohua, and He Shuqing is the biological mother of Chang Baoting, Chang Baoqing and Chang Baofeng. These six are all sons who inherit their father's business, some are the "top ten laughing stars" in the country, and some are representative inheritors of national intangible cultural heritage projects. He Shuqing was Chang Lian'an's second wife. She was also Manchu. In today's parlance, she is still a fan of Chang Lian'an. As for her love story with Chang Lian'an, for more information, please listen to the next breakdown.
