When he was young, he ran with his parents to sell art, and it can be said that he grew up in the "battlefield" of quyi. At the age of 4, he sold art with his parents and performed the "speaking mouth" of the trick; the child's voice was clear, the mouth was sharp, the scratching laughter, the intelligence and agility, very popular with the audience.
For the stage name of "small mushroom", some people say that he was born in Zhangjiakou, and Zhangjiakou is rich in mushrooms, so it is called "small mushroom". Some people also say that Chang Baokun with his father Chang Lian An Jianghu selling art, he is more able to speak when he pestles the door, do not give money to you mushrooms, so people call him mushrooms, because of his young age, he added a small word, which together is "small mushrooms".
In 1931, 9-year-old Chang Baokun, under the recommendation of Chen Rongqi, studied cross-talk with Zhang Shouchen as a teacher. At the beginning, he had been partnering with his father Chang Lian'an, playing with children. This cross-talk kid was very red, red and purple. Chang Baokun's ability to go on the radio and record records at a young age shows how popular he is.
In 1937, Chang Baokun began to partner with Zhao Peiru to perform in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The two have been partners for 14 years. Partnered with Zhao Peiru, Chang Baokun smoothly transitioned from child red to adult red. He and Zhao Peiru were one of the five cross-talks in Tianjin at that time and became the benchmark of the industry.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chang Baokun and Chen Yanan and others organized the "Brother Theater Troupe", with Chang Baokun serving as the leader of the troupe. After the fall of Beijing and Tianjin, Chang Baokun was twice arrested and severely beaten by the Japanese puppet government for orchestrating and performing cross-talk "Tooth Powder Bag", "Bridge Ticket", "Monkey Trick", and other satires about the Japanese and puppet reactionary rule.
In 1941, 19-year-old Chang Baokun married 17-year-old Sang Xiuru. In the second year after marriage, he gave birth to his eldest son, Chang Guitian. Sang Xiuru's father Sang Zhenkui and Chang Baokun's father Chang Lian'an are brothers who worship the handle; together with hou Yichen. The relationship between the father and the son is not bad, so the son brother has become a family. Sang Xiuru's old wife is more powerful than his father, and her old wife is the famous female drum king Lin Hongyu.
In July 1949, the 27-year-old Chang Baokun, as a representative of Tianjin's qu art circles, attended the First National Congress of Literary and Art Workers and was received by Mao, Zhou, Zhu De and other national leaders.
After the founding of New China, he choreographed and performed cross-talk such as "New Lantern Riddle" and "Ideological Problems", enthusiastically praising the new society, new fashion and new life.

The death of Chang Baokun is a loss to the Chang family and a great loss to the Chinese cross-talk community. On May 15, the Tianjin Municipal Government held a public festival for Changbaokun. At the time of the funeral, the mayor personally pulled the spirit, 800,000 people sent each other, and the white paper money was everywhere. Some people also say that it was Chang Baokun's sacrifice that gave the Chang family the identity of a martyr's family from then on, and this identity also saved the Chang family from disasters in that special era.
Chang Baokun's performance style is popular and smooth, witty and funny, which has a lot to do with his years of jianghu selling art. Representative cross-talk includes "Tooth Powder Bag", "New Lantern Riddle", "Ideological Problems", "Selling Estimated Clothes", "Four Provinces Dialect", "Public Court", "Bridge Ticket", "Batch Three Kingdoms", "Selling Hanging Tickets", "Improving The Number of Treasures" and so on.
In Chang's cross-talk, Xiao Mushroom is the highest light in the entire family and even in the entire era of cross-talk artists, and it is not too much to say that he is a rare wizard in the cross-talk industry. Chang Lian'an and Zhao Peiru's auxiliary helped make Chang Baokun very popular and famous in Beijing and Tianjin.
One of the things that Chang Baokun talks about is that when he was 18 years old, he matchmaking his aunt and found an uncle for himself. Who is Chang Baokun looking for for her aunt? Guo Rongqi, the son of Guo Ruilin. Guo Rongqi was Ma Delu's apprentice and a cattle man. In 1940, Guo Ruilin died of illness in Tianjin, at this time Guo Rongqi was selling art in Jinzhou; after receiving the news of his father's death, Guo Rongqi immediately rushed back to Tianjin. After the little mushroom knew, he asked Chen Shihe to feast on Guo Rongqi together. Two things were decided at the table: Guo Rong performed at the Qiming Tea House opened by Changjia in Beijing; and he guaranteed the media for Guo Rongqi and his aunt Chang Junting.
Subsequently, Guo Rongqi went to the Beijing Qiming Tea House. At first, Guo Rongqi gave the second mushroom Chang Baolin a hug, and later, according to the opinions of the audience, Chang Baolin gave Guo Rongqi a hug.
After Guo Rongqi and Chang Junting met, the two had a good feeling for each other, and then consummated their marriage on October 18, 1941. The Guo and Chang families were married, and Guo Rongqi could be regarded as a Chang family member from then on.
In the year when Guo Rongqi and Chang Junting were married, under chang Lian'an's arrangement, 12-year-old Chang Baoting worshiped Guo Rongqi as a teacher. It's a kiss.
It is said that Chang Baokun is a very hard worker, regards cross-talk as a person of life, and often studies hard. He and Zhao Peiru often took the tram to rush to the scene, and they talked to each other on the tram; because of their mental concentration, they sat on the station many times. When Chang Baokun was eating at home, he also did not know that because of his words, chopsticks often fell to the ground. Because there were many families and there was no separate room, he would go to the toilet to recite words; however, at that time, the toilet was shared by several families, so as soon as he entered the toilet, someone would cover his stomach outside the toilet and jump around.
The famous small mushroom Chang Baokun is also very backbone, he often hangs the Japanese, and often uses the Japanese to grab the baggage with his partner Zhao Peiru. Naturally, this kind of behavior greatly annoyed the gendarmerie, so they arrested and released them until the end of the War of Resistance. The integrity and courage of the little mushroom is also the fundamental reason why his status in the field of new Chinese art is so high.
Chang Baokun took in his disciples Li Boren and Su Wenmao. Su Wenmao is known as the "Master of Literature".
Chang Baokun and Sang Xiuru had two sons and a daughter, namely the eldest son Chang Guitian, the second son Chang Guixiang and the daughter Chang Hong. The eldest son, Chang Guitian, became a very famous cross-talk artist; the second son, Chang Guixiang, was admitted to the Chinese Opera School to study Peking Opera, and later went to the Chinese Peking Opera House.
