Li Huiliang
Li Huiliang, known as "Living Zhao Yun", has taken root in Tianjin since the early 50s, and its charm has not diminished for decades, and the Tianjin audience has the eyesight to give Li Huiliang affirmation and reward with lasting enthusiasm. At the end of the 1980s, Li Huiliang occasionally appeared in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places, which was bound to have a sensational effect.
Li Huiliang (1923-1995) was born in Haimen, Nantong, Jiangsu Province, his father Li Yanzhi was a violinist, his mother Han Fengkui and aunt Han Fengying were Peking Opera actors. Li Yanzhi ran the "Li Family Class", the eldest son Li Huibin worked with a copper hammer and a rack flower face, the second son Li Huiliang played Wusheng, the eldest daughter Li Huimin was good at Qingyi, Huadan, Dao Ma Dan, and Xiaosheng, the second daughter Li Huilan played Wenwu Laosheng, Lao Dan, and Qingyi, and the third son Li Huisen played Wen wu ugly, collectively known as the "Five Tigers of the Li Family", which was popular in Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Wuhu and other places, and was known as "Jiangnan's first tongling Jingban". In 1945, during the Chongqing negotiations, he performed for Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek.
The previous artists Yang Xiaolou, Shang Heyu and Yu Zhenting were called the "Three Schools of Wusheng". In the 1950s, Li Huiliang went to the China Grand Theatre in Tianjin to perform "Yanyang Lou", in which the "drunken beating" alarmed Mr. Shang Heyu. Elder Shang personally went to see the performance, and he greatly appreciated it, and even said that Li Huiliang had a few times that he shang and yu himself could not come! Li Huiliang's fame was greatly enhanced, and at that time, Shang Xiaoyun, Xun Huisheng and other famous characters in Tianjin watched Li Huiliang's plays in the first three rows of the China Grand Theatre every day, and he was recognized as the best martial artist after Yang Xiaolou.
Li Huiliang's family
In 1956, the Tianjin Peking Opera Troupe was established, and Li Huiliang and Yang Baosen hung their heads. Li Huiliang's basic skills are very solid, his waist and legs are excellent, he is strong and straight, rigid and flexible, full of energy and good at use. He created ten special skills - one-legged hanging hair, kicking shoes on the crown, large leaning whip, flying foot over people, flying over three tables, chair back upside down, big leaning helmet, flying fork under the table, twisting the leg, flying foot three yue, unique among martial arts.
When li huiliang started the fight, he had a unique skill: throwing the gun in the air to "fish", that is, the gun was thrown vertically, folded in the air, still falling vertically, and catching it from behind. It is characterized by the extremely accurate position of the landing and connection. After he threw the gun, he put his hand behind his back, did not move, did not use his hand to find the gun, but waited for the gun to naturally fall in his hand, looking easy and stable, but in fact it had been tempered a thousand times.
Some people say that Yang Xiaolou is "the hero of the dragon", he emphasized Zhao Yun's silver robe and eight-sided majesty, creating a vivid image of "living Zhao Yun". Li Huiliang played Zhao Yun, taking the strength of the Yang Sect, but combined his martial arts expertise to further understand the characters and create them.
In "Longboard Slope", Li Huiliang's performance is urgent and disorderly, busy and good, and the hand-eye-body step size is accurate and comprehensive. For example, in the "cover well", Yang Xiaolou was limited to physical strength in his later years, focusing on Shen Yun, and the physical action point was reached, Li Huiliang was wearing a big leaning when he grabbed the curtain, and he violently overturned the winged tiger, which was wonderful and thrilling, showing Zhao Yun's shock and sorrow of flashing backwards with too much force.
Li Huiliang also portrayed Zhao Yun's loyal and unfazed personality characteristics through details. When the Yang stopped the horse, Zhao Yun was sleepy and sleepy, and when he heard the wind and grass moving, two rays of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Cao Bing scattered Liu Bei and the others, and Zhao Yun completed a set of complicated actions of leprosy, bundle armor, stable saddle, disarming, and holding a gun in a few seconds, clean and agile, but calm and calm. After saving Ah Dou, he mainly wanted to get out, never loved to fight, while fighting, he also paid attention to Ah Dou in his arms at any time to see if he was frightened.
In "Zhao Yun Intercepting the River", the traditional Peking Opera considered that Zhao Yun was too reckless to fight, so it sent this job to Zhang Fei. Li Huiliang designed a logical and clear detail, Zhao Yun took the opportunity to say the heroic history of Changshanpo, fabricated that Ah Dou had a cinnabar red mole on his body to indicate the true destiny of the Heavenly Son, and used the mole to snatch Ah Dou over. This detail stems from Li Huiliang's epiphany of reading "Three Kingdoms" and reading zhao yun Changsakapo's escape from danger by borrowing "a red light", indicating that he has good intentions in portraying the character of the character.
In "Pick a Scooter", Li Huiliang played Gao Pet, who did not squint his eyes, and his two big eyes were focused and energetic, which immediately grabbed the attention of the audience. Raising a knife and a gun in the opening shot, he first had the aura of "I cut you" and "I stabbed you" before he could shoot.
"Sunny House" features a villain as the protagonist and tells a story of Gao Deng, the son of Gao Li. Gao Deng, played by Li Huiliang, is different, holding a large folding fan in his hand, opening his arms, flicking his chest side, walking slowly to the mouth of Kowloon, making a slight appearance, turning to the right side along the diagonal line, walking to the platform, slowly turning inward, and chanting lips. Turning around and putting the big fan behind him, he looked arrogant and vicious, creating an arrogant and absurd, cruel and brave bully who was strong and powerful.
Gordon had a total of three galloping horses, and Li Huiliang performed three states: the first time at the head of his own door, he let the horse gallop Gu Pan Zixiong, a "stomping mud" was very stable and practiced, showing his intention to show off riding skills; the second time was at the temple meeting after listening to Justin Wen reported that there was a beautiful woman, at this time, his eyes turned and hurried to get on the horse, exposing the "anxious color" mentality; the third time he met Hua Fengchun on the way home to snatch Xu Shiying's sister, and then used a horse to appear, straightening his chest and squinting at everything, his eyes were not correct, showing his lack of heart after doing bad things. Li Huiliang has a very good grasp of the rhythm of the action: the fast place is fast, not panicked; when the slow place, it does not appear to be procrastinating. Where up and down, meticulous, all-round just right.

Li Huiliang's drama has a wide path, not only does the martial arts act well, but the literary drama also has his style, Wang Zuo of "Broken Arm Storytelling", Zhang Cang of "The Pirate Scroll", and the White Locust of "Lost Seal and Fire Fighting", all have unique features in their performances. At the end of the 1950s, the Tianjin Peking Opera Troupe rehearsed the newly compiled historical drama "Burning Wanghai Lou", Li Huiliang's performance focused on the number of healthy and fierce roads, and through some new designs of singing and playing, the artistic image of Ma Hongliang, a porter in Tianjin at the end of the Qing Dynasty, was created.
In the 1980s, the Tianjin Peking Opera Troupe went to perform in other places, and as the leader of the troupe, Li Huiliang insisted on not staying in the hotel and living in the backstage; not sitting on soft seats, sitting on hard seats; not opening small stoves and eating large stoves. There are few theater rooms, Li Huiliang built a few paving boards in the boiler room, got up at more than five o'clock in the morning every day, and cleaned the corridors and toilets.
In mid-February 1995, Li Huiliang was invited to Shanghai to participate in the "Jutan Elite Lantern Festival" Peking Opera Performance, and on February 14, the Yen Festival was performed with Jing Rongqing, Zhang Youlin and others at the Shanghai Centre Theatre. Unexpectedly, he returned to Tianjin after the performance and died suddenly on February 27, leaving fans with great regrets. (Text: He Yuxin)
