Ma Sanli: I miss Comrade Zhao Peiru

It has been ten years since Comrade Zhao Peiru passed away, and I deeply miss him.

Peiru and I met in our teenage years, playing together and learning crosstalk together. He was the same age as me, because he was the apprentice of my brother Jiao Shaohai, so he was a generation later than me. But I admire his art, and I think his praise skills surpass those of his old predecessors. Peiru has been holding me for many years, and we have a very tacit understanding, no matter how I "live", "positive envoy", "reverse", he can catch it. In my laying out the "baggage" and arranging the "volt line", he neither "retains the wall", nor does he "fall into the program", always putting the key baggage very prominently, always making the teaser feel like a fish, relaxed and comfortable.

After the age of twenty, Peiru was chosen by Chang Lian'an and asked him to give Chang Baokun (a small mushroom) a hug. Chang Baokun is an outstanding talent among young cross-talk actors, speaking, learning, teasing, singing, all of which are not bad. De Peiru's praise is even more like a tiger's wings, one gear after another, the combination of pearls and the icing on the cake; it is also more able to give full play to the unique expertise of Comrade Peiru.

In mastering the baggage, Peiru is good at mentioning, pocketing, turning, mating, blocking waste, filling loopholes, teasing "going to the sea" He can drag back, put the work on the right track, and all the people in the industry are admired.

Zhao Peiru's ancestors were Manchu nobles, his grandfather's surname was Jin, his father's surname was Zhao, his uncle's surname was Gu, and his ancestors had all eaten money and grain, received money and grain, were well-bred, idle, and did nothing. After 1900 (the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu), the money and grain were stopped, sitting on the mountain and eating empty, and there was no way to make a living. Father Zhao Xixian changed his name to Zhao Xixian (there is no money and grain, what is the use of the surname Zhao), and the wife will go to Zhangjiakou. Unexpectedly, he did not meet his relatives, and he had no hope of relying on his friends, and he fell to Zhang Yuan. Occasionally, I wandered around the market and saw Chang Lian'an playing tricks on the ground. Don't know, people don't kiss, accent kiss, the same is Beijinger. Zhao Xiang often talked about his origins and situation, often sympathized, and made friends, but he could not manage the meal for a long time.

He often taught Zhao to change tricks to support his family. But Zhao Xixian was shy, shy, and not good at talking, so how could he surround him with a bunch of people to watch him play tricks? What to do? As a result, learn some small tricks, small hand color, set up a table to change tricks (pick out officials), a dime church like. He also met Jiao Shaohai, Chen Rongqi, and Xin Wenli, and worshiped the Meng brothers. Back in Beijing, Zhao Xixian stopped "picking out the officials", and there were too many acquaintances to pull down his face. I had to bring my family to Tianjin. Coincidentally, Jiao Shaohai was also in Tianjin. So he gave Peiru to Jiao Shaohai as an apprentice, and he was discharged from the school for three and a half years.

Jiao's cross-talk, Dao'erzhen, Fan Erzhuan, and the "family law" of the believers is strict. Zhao Peiru was smart and willing to drill, and his master Jiao Dehai gave him a hug and demanded more strictly. Therefore, Zhao Peiru's "work" will not only be more, but also make rules.

In 1951, Chang Baokun went to the DPRK to offer condolences for his glorious sacrifice. Zhao Peiru turned to stand-up comedy and later collaborated with Li Shouzeng, which was very popular with the audience. My partner, Zhang Qingsen, retired because he was blind in both eyes. The leader decided to let me partner with Zhao Peiru and perform together. I teased him, which of course was easy for him. He knows my approach to acting very well, although I have made some changes in the way I speak, engage in activity, and lay out the narrative. However, Zhao Peiru is still on the size of the baggage, and the measurement is very accurate. For example, "Couplet", "Three Character Classic", "Selling Five Instruments" and the small work "Tethered Doll", whether I am laying it out or regurgitating it, all kinds of methods, he can properly shake out the baggage, and there is no failure in the old mud. It's like playing football, whether I cross from midfield or cross to the bottom line, he can get to the right point, catch the ball into the net, and there is no passing mistake.

Comrade Peiru has a serious work attitude, and has extremely strict requirements for those who make trouble, and he must work in a solid and correct way. If the teaser's living lines are not correct and the baggage is not accurate, he will not only cover his mouth, but also the baggage will not be turned over, and the teaser will be embarrassed and embarrassed. So some cross-talk actors are afraid of him giving him a hug. If you learn from him humbly and sincerely, he will teach you sincerely. What he hates most is the entry of "copying bugs".

Comrade Zhao Peiru is a man of integrity and does not take advantage of anything. People who don't know him well think he stinks. In fact, Zhao Peiru is the most righteous among his peers, and he always spends money to buy medicines for the weddings and funerals of some relatives and friends, and he always spends money to be involved and does not make a statement.

Comrade Pejou has been away from us for ten years. He left no written material. We should discuss and learn from the records produced by him and Chang Baokun, summarize them, carry on the past and open up the future, and continuously improve. This is our best memorial to him.
