Xin Fengxia

Xin Fengxia has made remarkable artistic achievements. The new art is unique among many Pingju schools , unique and became a representative of Pingju opera innovation. This is due to her talent and understanding of opera art and her profound artistic skills, as well as her artistic creativity inspired by her love for the new society. Xin Fengxia has never been conservative in art. She dares to absorb and innovate, and learns from the performances of sister operas. She humbly learns various singing methods and accumulates rich singing experience. In the good artistic environment of China Pingju Theater, a national theater, Xin Fengxia's artistic creativity has been brought into unprecedented display, and new-school art has made great progress. The innovative traditional Pingju opera "Flower as Matchmaker" is a classic of new art. Xin Fengxia used her proficient singing skills and meticulous characterization to create the artistic image of Zhang Wuke, a young, beautiful and individual girl, thereby pushing the new art to its peak. After this play was made into a movie and screened across the country, including Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries, new-school art once again became popular throughout the country and Southeast Asia. Pingju opera actresses from all over the country studied under Xin Fengxia one after another, and the new style of Pingju opera has been promoted and spread like never before.

During this period, Xin Fengxia starred in "The Fiancée of the Volunteer Army", "The Accountant Girl", "The Legend of Chunxiang", "Qiankun Belt", "The Bank of the Jinsha River", "Wushuang Biography", "Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai", "Feng "Return to the Nest", "Three Visits to the Royal Sister", "Flower as Matchmaker", "Third Sister Yang Complains", "Nguyen Van Chui", "Tiao Feng Yue", "Sixty Years of Change" and other dozens of plays.

These new styles and new tunes have greatly enriched the singing art of Pingju Opera, made unprecedented contributions to the development of Pingju Opera into a major type of opera, and promoted the development and progress of the entire Pingju Opera art. Xin Fengxia was wrongly classified as a rightist in 1957 and received unfair treatment. She was persecuted during the "Cultural Revolution" and was deprived of her right to be an actor, which was a huge devastation to her body and mind. In 1975, she suffered from hemiplegia due to cerebral thrombosis and had to say goodbye to the Pingju opera stage for which she worked hard. In 1979, Xin Fengxia was completely rehabilitated. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the spring breeze of the Party once again blew into Xin Fengxia's heart. With amazing perseverance, she straightened up her injured body, took staggering steps, and once again moved towards the new artistic field. Pioneering and enterprising. She lectures and teaches skills, writes books, and never stops teaching and writing. Xin Fengxia dragged her heavy body in a wheelchair to tell plays and demonstrate singing to her disciples and students. She overcame the inconvenience of mobility and went to the theater many times to watch students' performances in order to encourage and support future generations. Under her selfless teachings, a large number of disciples and students, including Gu Wenyue, Liu Xiurong, Wang Manling, Zhao Sanfeng, Dai Yueqin, and Gao Chuang, became outstanding inheritors of Everbright’s new art and the backbone of Pingju opera today.

New The daughter of Fengxia - Wu Shuang

The daughter of Xin Fengxia, Wu Shuang is a famous contemporary coloratura soprano singer, playwright, painter and writer in my country. He graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in his early years and stayed in the United States for 6 years to study Western music. His representative works include "The Light Trilogy", "Don't Worry About Your Looks", "Beautiful Women" and "Father and Daughter". He is the author of works such as "Don't Ask Who My Parents Are", "Wu Shuang Sees People" and the TV series "New Fengxia Legend". Wu Shuang is very persistent, especially reading. In her own words, she loves reading to death. "Ke" means "to fight". Once Wu Shuang's energy came up, no one would be her opponent. Even "A Dream of Red Mansions", one of the four classic Chinese classics, would be defeated by her. At that time, Wu Shuang is still a child. Persistence, defeating "Dream of Red Mansions" Wu Shuang is the youngest in the family. Although his two brothers also like reading, only Wu Shuang is a book lover. She was the best at grabbing books in the whole family. Some books were borrowed from outside, so she grabbed them first and held them. She has been very interested in the dense black characters since she was a child. Mr. Wu Zuguang has a large collection of books. When he was seven or eight years old, Wu Shuang began to look through his father's bookshelf frequently. However, he was not very literate at that time. He wanted to read these books but could not. Understand, she was anxious and felt uncomfortable. At that time, she was most interested in the light green-covered "Dream of Red Mansions" on her father's bookshelf, but it was in traditional Chinese and could not be understood. Wu Shuang couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable. Mr. Wu Zuguang wouldn't let her read this big book, so Wu Shuang read it secretly. I secretly read it, but still couldn't understand it, so Wu Shuang's persistence came back. She began to "kill it" piece by piece. When she read a piece, if she didn't understand something, she would ask her father. In this way, she and this The original "A Dream of Red Mansions" has been "dead" for ten years. "A Dream of Red Mansions" just couldn't defeat the persistent Wu Shuang and ended in a disastrous failure. Today, decades later, Wu Shuang still looks back on this experience of "breaking" the book with joy and happiness on his face. Wu Shuang firmly believes that as long as you want to do something, there is nothing you can't do. . The reading method was broken by his father. During the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution", Wu Shuang began to read excessively. She would try to borrow and read whatever books were circulating in the society, especially Chinese and Western classics. Wu Shuang clearly remembered that there was a book called "The Grudge of Monte Cristo". It somehow leaked out of the library and into the society. Everyone passed it around and everyone only had three days to read the book. After three days, It would be passed to another person, so that when the book was passed to Wu Shuang, it had already been torn. The craze for reading at that time was like the craze for star-chasing today. Today, if someone mentions Jay Chou to you and you say you don't know it, you will definitely be called "old-fashioned"; back then, people read "The Return of the Old Woman," "A Dream of Autumn," "War and Peace," "Red "And Black"... If you haven't read it, others will also call you an "outdated youth". Wu Shuang would never be left behind, so she read world famous books desperately because she felt ashamed not to read these books at that time. . This kind of disorderly reading lasted for nearly ten years, and was finally broken by my father.

When the "Cultural Revolution" was about to end, the control was not strict at that time. Once his father came back from the May 7th Cadre School and found that Wu Shuang's reading was irregular. He read whatever he caught, so he found a writer named Zhang. Her uncle gave her guidance. Uncle Zhang's family had not been raided and had thousands of books. He taught Wu Shuang how to read regularly. Because Wu Shuang is a girl, he asked Wu Shuang to read books about successful women first, and then read books about classics and dramas. Wu Shuang was most impressed by "The Autobiography of Duncan", "Wuthering Heights", "Jane Eyre", "Agnes Gray" and Zhang Ailing's books by the three British Bront? sisters. In addition, she also read some novels like Jack London, not only their novels, but also their autobiographies. Wu Shuang especially likes to read a set of "Vientiane" magazines from Uncle Zhang's house. Under his guidance, Wu Shuang read a lot of books. For Wu Shuang, this is the most precious reading time in her life. Later, Mr. Wu Zuguang discovered that Wu Shuang always read some books that were very feminine, so he instructed her that you should read some must-read Chinese classical books, such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Historical Records", and "The Scholars" , Yuanqu, etc. But girls will be girls after all. Wu Shuang doesn't like reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Water Margin", but Wu Zuguang said that you must read these books. If you like literature, you must read these books. . Reluctantly, Wu Shuang started to memorize large sections of "Historical Records" which was originally very boring for her at that age. She couldn't understand, so she just memorized it. Later, Wu Shuang's persistence came back and she started to "die" again. ?" "Historical Records". When she was seventeen or eighteen years old, Wu Shuang started to memorize Tang poetry again, whenever she had nothing to do. In the late period of the "Cultural Revolution", when there was no school to go to, Wu Shuang spent every day at home choosing the books he thought he should read and memorizing the poems he should memorize. These past few years have become the happiest reading time in Wu Shuang's life. Today, many years later, when her busy life and work make her lament that she no longer has time to study, she will happily remember that back then, in that dark era when everyone was in danger, her beloved father actually created something for her. It was a wonderful and carefree reading time! Later, Wu Shuang started learning piano and music. Until now, she no longer has time to study to her heart's content, which has become her biggest regret. Therefore, Wu Shuang wanted to write an article - "Unable to Read". When the bookshelf is full, I feel at ease. When fighting with books, Wu Shuang always wins. When fighting with her father for books, Wu Shuang still wins. It seems that everything is full of comedy. Maybe it is her persistence and obsession with books that moved God. , so every time Wu Shuang encounters problems related to books, Shengli always stands by her side. With books, Wu Shuang's life becomes fun; with Wu Shuang's company, the value of books becomes even more precious. Wu Zuguang's home has a large collection of books, and he is known as the "number one book collector in Chaoyang District". Wu Shuang especially likes his father's books. Looking at the bookshelf full of books, Wu Shuang feels at ease. But one day at the end of 1998, Wu Zuguang suddenly decided to donate some of his books, about 5,000 copies, to the Beijing Theater School. When the Beijing Theater School came to pick up the books, Wu Shuang saw that they had taken away the books in packages, and she became anxious and said that I still want these books. Wu Zuguang said no, we have too many books at home, Wu Zuguang said Shuang refused and had a fight with his father. Later, the people at the Beijing Theater School became embarrassed and said, father and daughter, please stop arguing and let her keep whatever books she wants. Finally, at Wu Shuang's insistence , Wu Zuguang made concessions, and just like that, more than 100 books were intercepted and became Wu Shuang's favorite. Although many books were taken away, fortunately, not long after, many new books were added to the house. Wu Shuang became happy when she saw that the bookshelves were filled again. In 1981, Wu Shuang received a scholarship from an American university and studied abroad. Once there, inspired by various aspects of life, Wu Shuang turned to writing books. Writing and reading books have become almost all of Wu Shuang's life. Wu Shuang said that this is her favorite and the two are indispensable. Romance is just the past tense. Wu Shuang's favorite book is "A Dream of Red Mansions". When she was sixteen or seventeen years old, she could finally understand it. Wu Shuang read this book over and over again. Each time she read it, she deepened her understanding of it.

Wu Shuang felt that this book was so well written. In the past, I only read about the romance in it, about Jia Baoyu falling in love, and later about how Jia Zheng got into politics, how Jia Yucun fooled people, and the lives of the little people in it. The more I read, the more interesting it became. She can memorize large sections of this book. Among China's four great masterpieces, Wu Shuang believes that only "A Dream of Red Mansions" has the most social and literary significance. Its literary level, literary value and originality are unmatched by the other three. Wu Shuang also loves reading various research articles and books about "Dream of Red Mansions". Someone once said to Wu Shuang: "When you can understand the book that comments on "Dream of Red Mansions", you will have reached a certain level." Even Wu Shuang's later writing was deeply influenced by "Dream of Red Mansions". Wu Shuang also likes to read books by Bai Xianyong and Zhang Ailing. They are both very successful writers deeply influenced by "Dream of Red Mansions". Being busy with work and having less time to read, Wu Shuang chose to read short stories and some scripts. This had a great influence on her dramatic writing. She read Molière, Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw, China's Guo Moruo and Cao Yu, including plays written by her father Wu Zuguang. "There may not be 10 playwrights among 100 writers. The creative level of playwrights is higher." Wu Shuang is now a writer and a playwright. Accumulate experience and shorten the maturity period. Everyone needs to accumulate experience, especially to accumulate your knowledge base. If you read more books, your maturity period can be advanced, and your time to get results can also be advanced. This is a shortcut. . The richer a person's life experience is, the more creative you can be to society. If you study in advance and read more books, your explosive power can be advanced. Reading a lot can replace your experience. It is said that "traveling thousands of miles, reading thousands of books", Wu Shuang said that her life experience abroad has also increased her experience, which is equivalent to reading. She is most grateful to her parents for teaching her how to study and for sending her abroad. Thumbs up, Wu Shuang said: "Awesome!" "Reading can make people more creative about society in advance. Hahaha..." Wu Shuang's hearty laughter revealed some of the summary of this sentence. The pride of words. Wu Shuang believes that if a person wants to get good results nowadays, he has to go through several stages such as elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, and graduate school, and reading more can shorten this time period. Among the roles of playwright, singer, and writer, Wu Shuang's favorite is the role of writer, because this kind of creation is independent, free and unconstrained. Wu Shuang revealed that she is currently writing a book "Our Family", which is not about family history, but about the various aspects of life in Wu Shuang's eyes. Wu Shuang likes to write about small characters because she thinks they are the most difficult to write about. In order to get to know the little people more deeply, she could chat with the old lady selling popsicles on the street for hours, and she could also eavesdrop on two women talking about family affairs and private matters. These are the sources of her creation. If you want to be successful, you must first learn to be a human being. On weekdays, what my mother Xin Fengxia likes to say is: act on stage, and be a human being off stage. As a mother who was a folk artist, this sentence was her very deliberate code of conduct throughout her life. A famous saying often written by his father Wu Zuguang is: Unyielding is the most noble thing, and the richest thing is poverty. The way in which these two cultural celebrities' parents conduct themselves can actually be explained as a reason and a source of their career success. Therefore, Wu Shuang always said that her parents are her first role models in getting along with others in her life.
