"The drama enters the painting, the end of the world, the road is homeless, the frost is full of face, the ambiguity is dissipated, and the song is gentle." Compared with today's "the general's lonely grave is not asked, and the drama family affairs are known to the world", the status of the ancient drama can be described as negligible, or even no status at all.
Compared with the ancient society, the so-called dramatists are probably a group of weak women with a troubled fate and a bumpy life, who are forced by life or forced by the times to become the playthings of the powerful, and they are only poor people after all. It seems that the scenery on the stage is infinite, but in fact, taking off the costume is still just an ordinary person.
However, it has attracted the attention of people who do not conform to this identity. "Piaf is not guilty, but he is guilty." This fame has made these people successful, and it has also pushed them into the whirlpool of the times.
First, be fierce in nature and not afraid to offend the mayor
Throughout today's society, opera culture has gradually declined, and this essence of traditional Chinese culture is facing the situation of no successor. The essence of this is that there are few people who are willing to learn drama, fewer people can teach drama, and even fewer people can inherit the family's best singers, which is really regrettable.
However, throughout the Republican period or the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, opera culture has experienced vicissitudes and tribulations, and still blooms and competes for brilliance on the land of China. As a result, a large number of opera celebrities have emerged. They each have their own skills, you sing me on the stage, a beautiful era.
As a major branch of opera culture, it is called the five major types of Chinese opera drama together with Peking Opera and Yu Opera. When it comes to judging dramas, it is impossible to avoid the "four famous dans" of the past years, and Bai Yushuang is one of them. However, just as in the preface, the drama is mostly a weak woman who can't help herself, and so is Bai Yushuang, who is fierce in nature and is not afraid to offend the mayor, and is forced to spend the rest of her life in insult and damage.
Bai Yushuang was born into an artistic family since childhood, and his father was an artist. Therefore, with the father wandering around, he laid a good foundation. Later, at the age of 14, he began to contact drama critics and studied with Sun Fengming. Through the cultivation and opportunity of the Sun family drama class, Bai Yushuang quickly became famous and was well known from near and far.
Seeing that Bai Yushuang was already quite famous, her mother brought her back when she saw the opening of her eyes and formed a new drama team with Bai Yushuang as the mainstay. However, no matter where you are through your own efforts, Bai Yushuang has built herself into a generation of famous characters step by step. She is active in the Beijing-Tianjin area all year round and enjoys a high reputation.
However, although fame can achieve a person, but at the same time the corresponding troubles will inevitably come from the elbow, under the eyes of all, the eyes of the audience are loyal and indistinguishable. Standing on the stage, she is a drama everyone admires, but when she walks off the stage, she is just a weak woman who is lonely and helpless.
Therefore, for a weak woman who wants to save herself in the chaotic world, it is natural to struggle in the interpersonal relationship, and few people without power can be spared. The wind and water on the stage of White Jade Frost, every smile and smile were all seen in the eyes of the people on the stage, and naturally there were many people who had the heart to surpass, and Yuan Liang, the mayor of Beiping at that time, was one of them.
Yuan Liang
After watching several performances of Bai Yushuang in succession, Yuan Liang became more and more obsessed with this. After a performance, he sent someone to tell Bai Yushuang to go to the supper together, but Bai Yushuang, perhaps because of his fierce nature, refused Yuan Liang's warm invitation. Yuan Liang's successive attendance at the reception is naturally well known, and for a mayor, it is obvious that eating the closed door soup like this will not give up.
Therefore, the next morning, the theater where Bai Yushuang and her party performed was surrounded by a police group with live ammunition, and they held official documents that bai Yushuang's play was "offensive to morality", so they expelled her without stopping. However, there are also many different records about this matter, some say that the play of White Jade Frost is really offensive, and later Bai Yushuang and Yuan Liang reunited to talk about this matter as a joke.
It is also said that Yuan Liang was slandered because the officials around him could not ask for Bai Yushuang, which led to his order to be expelled.
It is difficult to determine the ins and outs of the matter, but Bai Yushuang's expulsion from Yuan Liang is a fact after all. There is a prominent reputation, but in the end she is only a weak woman, and she is often unable to face the coercion of power.
Since ancient times, the red face and the thin life is this reason, often the woman's style is born from the eyes of men, and the value of women at that time is also given by men, which is doomed to the era without feminism to speak of, the more beautiful women are, the higher the value, the more likely it is to become a "thing" for the exchange of political rights.
However, compared with this expulsion, Bai Yushuang's subsequent encounter is the real verification of the sadness of being a woman under the whirlpool of the times.
2. Forced to spend the rest of their lives in insults and damages
After being expelled, Bai Yushuang could no longer set foot in Beiping, so her performance venues were transferred between Tianjin and Shanghai. Especially in Shanghai, some businessmen saw the commercial value of Bai Yushuang, so they spared no effort to make her popular again and open up a new business in Shanghai.
At the same time, those merchants also used the reputation of white jade cream as a product endorsement, and under the mutual achievements between the two, white jade cream gained a firm foothold in Shanghai. Bai Yushuang's mother has always regarded Bai Yushuang as a cash cow since she was taken out of the Sun Family Drama Class to set up her own portal, which led to the later incident of Bai Yushuang eloping for love.
Since ancient times, it is the common sentiment of men and women to love, even the white jade cream is no exception. As the saying goes, "near the water tower platform first get the moon" Bai Yushuang is not a distinguished figure on the prominent side, but just an unknown young man in the drama class.
As soon as she put forward this idea, she was flatly rejected by her mother. On the one hand, the cash cow of white jade frost cannot be lost, on the other hand, this poor boy has no value at all. Even if Bai Yushuang pleaded bitterly and even promised to give all the money she earned in the future, her mother still did not waver.
In the face of her mother's desperate love, Bai Yushuang resolutely eloped with the young man, returned to the other party's hometown, and used his savings to buy land and build a house to build a future between the two.
However, the good times were not long, perhaps accustomed to life in the city or because of the sudden abandonment of his career, Bai Yushuang became more and more tired and uneasy, and later returned to the drama class under the persuasion of his mother several times.
Bai Yushuang returned to the life that was as highly anticipated as before, and at the same time returned to the whirlpool of that era. A sudden and innocent disaster completely overwhelmed her.
The editor-in-chief of a newspaper arbitrarily fabricated facts in the newspaper to denigrate the reputation of Bai Yushuang. The unbearable White Jade Frost decided to spend some money to reconcile, so he found this person. However, in the process of meeting the two, the editor-in-chief was shot to death, and Bai Yushuang was involved in the dispute.
If it is an ordinary case, it is easy to say, but this editor-in-chief is a pro-Japanese element, and the person who shot him to death is the person who resisted the war and committed adultery. The Japanese concluded that Bai Yushuang's meeting with this person may have been premeditated, so they arrested Bai Yushuang.
After being imprisoned, Bai Yushuang was brutally tortured. The destruction and torture of this period not only created her future humiliation but also laid the groundwork for her early death. The constant torture caused her health to be incurably affected, and the subsequent hard work was the bitter fruit of her early death.
In 1942, Bai Yushuang died at the age of 35. Throughout her artistic achievements, she is brilliant, like an artist who carries forward the art of judging drama, and has become a school of its own in the art of judging, creating the art of "white school" and enjoying the reputation of "queen of drama criticism".
However, looking at her fate is also tortuous and bumpy, it is really involuntary and involuntary, which is really lamentable and regrettable. The encounter of Bai Yushuang in the second half of his life also once again confirmed to us the darkness of that era, especially the unscrupulous and wanton behavior of those enemies on the land of China.
At that time, there were countless atrocities like these in Japan on Chinese soil, and the way we counted them was usually just a cold number, like the sacrifice of 10,000 people in a war. Numbers are often numbing, and there is an inequality between ten thousand and ten thousand people.
If the sacrifice of ten thousand people is understood as the sacrifice of one person, it is repeated ten thousand times, or there are different feelings.
The same is true of bai yushuang's encounter, when such tragedies occurred from time to time on the land of China, and we can understand that every minute or even every second of those dark years was Chinese persecuted, bullied, insulted, and countless Chinese were crying hysterically and desperately. History cannot be forgotten!
