Liu Wenheng, who came from a family, was influenced by his father Liu Guangwen and loved cross-talk since he was a child.
When he was 11 years old, he listened to cross-talk at the tea house and could hear Yang Shaokui, Zhang Baoru, Feng Liquan (Zhang Shouchen's apprentice, who died soon after, replaced by Lian Xiaokun), Shi Shiyuan (Shi Shengjie's father), Ban Degui, Zhao Xinmin, Ma Jingbo (Ma Guiyuan's son, Hou Yichen's apprentice) and his father Liu Guangwen. What does he do? Do the change, fetch water, sweep the floor, buy something, buy food or something. Every day from 12 noon to 10 pm, you can listen to more than 20 paragraphs a day, which is called "smoking". And in the "smoking", he was very careful, and really "smoked" out a few paragraphs.
The next year, his father asked him to worship Yang Shaokui as a teacher, and Yang Shaokui really loved him, so he accepted this apprentice.
Two years later, in 1952, Liu Wenheng "swung to know" and kowtowed to master.
On the day of "Swinging Knowledge", Gao Peng was full of people: Chen Shihe (a famous commentator), Zhang Shouchen, Gao Yuanjun (a famous Shandong Kuaishu performance artist, also known as Xiangsheng, Chang Lian'an's only apprentice) and a number of cross-talk actors attended. Unfortunately, his father died in 1951 and did not attend the ceremony.
Master told him, "You are the old nine." ”
He didn't understand: "Master, how can I be the ninth elder?" ”
The cross-talk industry pays attention to the big ranking, no matter whose apprentice it is, whether it is in the north of the south of the world, it is necessary to decide who is the master and who is the master according to the morning and evening of the time of worship.
He is the ninth in line, that is, he has eight brothers: Zhao Xinmin, Su Wenmao, Zhao Liansheng (stage name "Little Monster", Sun Baocai's apprentice), Wang Xueyi (Sun Baocai's apprentice), Li Boxiang, Zhao Zhenduo, Ru Shaoting (Wang Changyou's apprentice), and Benmen's brother Ding Wenyuan.
At that time, he was 14 years old, and after a few years, many actors and actresses worshiped his teachers, such as Li Mingqi (baishi Wang Shichen), Guo Wenqi, Ding Yupeng (baishi Wang Changyou), Zhao Wenqi (baishi Sun Shaolin), Ren Mingqi, Gao Yingpei (all worshiping Zhao Peiru), Fan Zhenyu (baishi Ban Degui), Sun Shida (Zhao Lanting's apprentice, whose master was Li Shouzeng), and Yang Ziyang (baishi Hou Baolin), all older than him, but they were all his disciples.
Mr. Liu Wenheng has a good character, he never puts up, compared to his age, always call the other party "brother". He believes that it doesn't matter who is the master and brother, the key is to say good crosstalk. Therefore, he studied cross-talk like a hunger and thirst, and soon there would be a lot of passages, such as "Shandong People Praying for the New Year", "Five Hundred Drama Names", "Empty City Plan", "Timid Bathing", "Da Shang Shou", "Eight No Grins", "Crying Theory", "Shanxi Family Letter", etc. Master alone taught him "Eight Fan Screens", "Paying Land Rent", "Geographical Map", "Big Bodyguard", "Engaging in Friendship", "Rich and Noble Map", "Tongue Twister" and so on.
It is a great pity that in 1990, when he fell ill at the age of 52, he bid farewell to the stage and died in 2001, but he is still remembered today.
Liu Wenheng and Wei Wenhua are husband and wife
