Cross-talk examination: Ma Pai's legendary "Northwest Laughing Star" even laughs at Kunwenty-nine

Lian Xiaokun 1926-2009.3.1

Lian Xiaokun, also known as Lian Xiaokun, was born in 1926 and is of Manchu ethnicity.

Even Xiaokun's father, Lian Xiuquan, also spoke cross-talk, and had a lot of heads: Lian Xiuquan's master, Zhou Deshan, so he and Ma Sanli were brothers; Lian Xiuquan had a very powerful apprentice named Wang Benlin, Wang Benlin had an apprentice named Zheng Xiaoshan, and Zheng Xiaoshan had an apprentice named Miao Fu, so Miao Fu was Lian Xiuquan's great-grandson. Wang Benlin had a father named Zhang Shouchen, who founded the Red Star Cross-Talk Society in Xi'an in 1951 and held a cross-talk class at the Muslim Cultural Center. Lian Xiuquan has been in the "Tongqing Society" in Tangshan, and his son Lian Xiaokun also spent his childhood here with him.

In 1934, the 8-year-old Lian Xiaokun bai ma Sanli became a teacher. Some people say that although Lian Xiaokun studied with Ma Sanli, his skills were all learned by Lao Tzu Lian Xiuquan; according to it, Lian Xiaokun was good at liuhuo, while Ma Sanli's liuhuo was relatively inferior. For this statement, Xiaobian did not quite believe it, because Ma Zhiming, the young horse master, had obtained the true legend of Ma Sanye, and the willow life of the young horse master was Gang Gang.

In March 1956, Lian Xiaokun entered the Tianjin Heping District Cross-Talk Team. Later, in order to support the construction of the Great Northwest, the family moved to Gansu and joined the Rap Team of Gansu People's Radio. He worked in Lanzhou until his retirement in 1987, spending half a century, so he is a titan figure of Gansu Xiangsheng and one of the founders of Northwest Xiangsheng. The Father and Son of the Lian Family play an important role in the Northwest Cross-Talk Circle. Along with Lian Xiaokun, there was also a cattle man who went to Gansu, that is, Chang Baolin, the second mushroom of the Chang family.

In 1986, at the suggestion of Ma Sanli, Lian Xiaokun accepted Lu Fulai as a righteous son.

In 1989, Lu Fulai and Yu Kezhi together worshiped Ma Zhiming as a teacher; Jin Wensheng, Zhang Yutang, and Lian Xiaokun. On the day of worship, Lian Xiaokun also accepted Yu Kezhi as a righteous son. On the same day, Ma Sanli also attended the worship ceremony, and also gave two disciples fans, and wrote eight words on the fan surface: "Fu Zi Qin Lai, Self-denial for Ambition". What is unexpected is that Ma Zhiming, the young master of the horse, did not recognize these two apprentices, saying that this was an apprentice who was only accepted at the behest of his father, Ma Sanye, and not that he wanted to receive them.

On March 1, 2009, Mr. Lian Xiaokun passed away due to illness at the age of 83. This year was not a good year for Ma Pai Xiangsheng, and his three apprentices even went to Xiao Kun, Li Wenhua, and Gao Xiaolin.

Lian Xiaokun is good at willow work, clear voice, solid basic skills, whether it is single mouth, counterpart or group mouth, there is no style.

The traditional cross-talk representatives performed by Lian Xiaokun include "Shandong Second Reed" and "The Case of Zhenmei". He created and performed "Peking Opera and Modern Drama" and "Learning Huangmei Opera".

Lian Xiaokun paid attention to cultivating the new strength of cross-talk, recruited disciples and enthusiastically taught young cross-talk enthusiasts, so that "Ma Pai Cross-talk" could be carried forward and developed in Gansu. The disciples included Wang Yafu, Wang Yaqing, Wang Yayu, Zhang Yalu, Yang Yasong, Liu Yakui, Zhang Yasheng, Zhang Yacheng and so on.

The anecdote about Lian Xiaokun is that he once performed "The Name of the Dish", and he made a large section of his mouth, but when he said "red balls, white balls, slippery balls, croquettes..." He suddenly forgot the words, and used cross-talk technical terms to say that it was "ghost hitting the wall". At this time, Lian Xiaokun's mouth has been repeating the pills, pills... Naturally, He knew what Lian Xiao Kun was doing, and said, "Why are you always a pill?" Lian Xiaokun hung up: "Your big head is dangling in front of me, and all I see are pills." ”

It is said that before Hou Baolin died, he said to his disciple Ma Ji: Crosstalk still has to pay attention to the current hanging!

Lian Xiaokun had a son named Lian Xiaolin, who worshiped under Wang Benlin, and Wang Benlin's master was Lian Xiuquan. That is to say, even Kobayashi's master is his own grandfather, which is unique in the entire cross-talk industry. In addition to this, there is the Ma family. Ma Sanli received the disciple Chang Baofeng, and Chang Baofeng also received the disciple Ma Sanli's grandson Ma Xiaochuan. The whole Chang family can be said to be the first family in the cross-talk industry, and the master who has not seen the grandson of the Chang family is Chang's grandfather.

It is said that even Xiaolin's daughter Lian Zheng also said crosstalk, so to speak, even the family is four generations of crosstalk. Unfortunately, the northwest is not a major cross-talk town, and the atmosphere of music and art is far worse than that of Beijing and Tianjin, so it is impossible to appear as many big names as in Beijing and Tianjin. When it comes to the important towns of cross-talk, everyone recognizes that they are Beijing and Tianjin, and the outside is the spring city of Jinan and Shenyang.
