Sun Bailing (1902— 1987) is an old Peking Opera student. When he was a child, he was sent to a regular school to study drama at the age of nine (19 1 1) because of his poor family. He studied under Zhang Yingjun, the "seven gold", and his mother was Zheng Faxiang's aunt. The master gave him the stage name "Zhang Shengkui". He studied fine arts for seven years (19 1 1 to 19 18), and performed while studying. Performed in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhu and other places. He once played "Zhang Shengkui" in the first issue of Dangui, and his real name was Sun Boling after graduation. During this period, He Yueshan wanted to accept him as an apprentice, but Master's "seven gold" was not allowed. In the past seven years, I have laid a solid artistic foundation and learned a lot of plays, most of which are old plays of Tan School and Sun School.

17 years old (19 19), due to the death of his master, he began to wander the rivers and lakes alone. He studied under Li Chunlai, the originator of Nanpai Peking Opera martial arts, and asked for benefits from He Yueshan, a famous martial arts master, and Lu Lanchun, an old student in Hannah Quinlivan. Liu is a personal biography of the red network drama, but he accepted the advantages of it. In the long-term stage performance, I am familiar with the old performing arts, paying equal attention to the north and the south, and paying equal attention to civil and military affairs; And he is good at relying on and playing martial arts and minority dramas. He shut himself in the attic for half a month for the performance of "Going to Another Kiln from the Army", and devoted himself to research, creating a unique Xue Pinggui who sang while walking. Playing Song Wu can be turned over from three and a half tables; It can also be red, black and clean, Lao Dan, and civil and military farce.

At first, it was performed in Suzhou Grand View Garden (later Guanghua Theater Base), from 1965438+2009 to Duanyang Festival. Later, he went to Shanghai to perform for three months. He collaborated with Feng in the Golden Bottle and other plays, and performed on the same stage with Lin Boqing and Ma. At that time, the horse first entered Shanghai, and the horse's "Yuanmen chop" and Sun's big shaft "lost space to chop". Later, he performed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for a long time. During the "Tianji Grand Stage" in Hangjiahu, he cooperated with Sun, who is known as "Mei Lanfang in Hangjiahu", and performed "Rain Flower in the Sky" with a double-headed brand, which was called a fine work of art by the audience in the water town. At the age of 29 (193 1 the second half of the year), Hu Baoshan's team performed in Hangzhou World (later renamed Dongpo Theatre), and the word "Sun Bailing" was cast with cement. At the age of 30 (1932), Qi's Peony Troupe performed in Mingle Tea Garden in Changsha, Hunan for four months. After they returned home, the audience who heard the news angrily smashed the cinema.

Thirty to forty-three years old (April 1932 to June 1945) occupied Shanghai for fourteen years. First, he performed in Shixian Company. During his stay in Shixian Company, his stills playing Chen Lin were put in the window of Shixian Company for more than a year. Later, he performed in Daxin Company and shared the stage with Bi Yanfang. He also performed at the Hong Guang Grand Theatre on Sichuan Road. He collaborated with Liu Bei in Gu Chenghui, Sun and Zhang Fei in The King. In Hong Guang's performance, there was a voluntary performance organized by the Shanghai Spiritual Federation to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and do something for the poor peers. Because of the capitalist's difficulties, the actor didn't have a whole set of clothes, so Sun Bailing lent his whole set of clothes to everyone for free. In this performance, Sun Bailing plays a clown, sings with Li Ruilai, Wang Shaolou and Pig Bajie, and sings "Picking up Gold" with Zhou, Liu Binkun, Meng Hongmao, Liang Cishan and Han Jinkui. Sun Bailing ranks first among the ten ugliness (1939 65438+ 10/2). Later, at the request of Lao Zhao, he performed in the Grand Theatre and hung ten top brands, namely Sun Bailing, Feng (eldest daughter), Yue Mingzhu (second daughter), Lao Zhao, Qiao Song, Gao Xueqiao, Gao Xiao Xueqiao and Lao Wang Guiqing. Performances include civet cats for princes, Phoenix Mountain, Danmutong and Lao Wang Guiqing. During his fourteen years in Shanghai, Mr. Sun Bailing also cooperated with artists such as Qiu, Tan, Mei Lanfang, Xun Huisheng, Zheng Faxiang, Zhang Erpeng, Fu Dewei, Ming Yukun, Zhan Shifu and Huang. When Tan first came to Shanghai, Sun Bailing and his double brand, Hua Dan, the second brand of Xun Huisheng, and Wusheng, the third brand of Lao Wang Guiqing. Tan and Sun Bailing played Huang Zhong before and after Dingjun Mountain respectively. Sun Bailing, Tan and Ma once customized Zhuge Liang's goose feather fan together, one for each person. After leaving Shanghai, his own troupe (Longfengtai) was active in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Once, a young actor didn't work hard while performing. Sun Bailing immediately came out to apologize to the audience and asked the actors to perform again. During the performance in Huzhou, there was a scene where the crowded audience pulled up the iron fence at the door. At the beginning of liberation, he performed with Tang in Suzhou, including Tang's Passing Five Customs and Sun's Chen Lin's Torture of Kou Chengyu. From 1950 to 1952, he performed in Wuxi for a long time. During the period, he cooperated with Ma Troupe, Yang Troupe, Xi Xiaobo Troupe, Xu Biyun Troupe, Zhang Erpeng Troupe, Laogao Xueqiao Xuefang Peking Opera Troupe (performed in Suzhou Theatre), Laozhao Troupe, Li Ruchun Troupe, Troupe and Wu Shijian.

On February 20th, 1954, the troupe led by the company merged with Yan Huizhu Troupe to give a condolence performance for the 6th detachment of China People's Liberation Army. Hanging in the guest house in the morning, the staff listened and boasted: "Oh! Old man, these words sent by Wang are really good! " In Beijing, Sun Bailing played Dong Zhuo in Lyu3 bu4 and The Story of Diesim, Sima Yi in Lost Space and Zhao Yun in Yellow Crane Tower. The audience included party and state leaders, such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Vice Chairman Soong Ching Ling. The backstage waiter was Tian Hua, a film performance artist affiliated to the Cultural and Art Troupe of the North China Military Region at that time, and Tian Hua signed his autograph as a souvenir. The performance lasted for 32 days, and Beijing wanted to leave Sun Bailing and his family (his children and son-in-law are both excellent Peking Opera actors, who are both literate and proficient in all walks of life, and what's more, they can teach classes) in Beijing to set up a troupe. Considering that this would mean that other actors in his troupe were unemployed, helpless and left their hometown, Sun Bailing refused the invitation from Beijing and returned to Wuxi with the troupe. He enjoys a high reputation in the whole country, which can be described as "both morality and art" and is a model for the younger generation in Liyuan. Awarded the "Old Artist" Award by Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture.

In his later years, he settled in Suzhou, still keen on Peking Opera, organized Pingjiang Amateur Peking Opera Troupe (Suzhou Peking Opera Troupe was the only one at that time), and gave condolence performances to grassroots, welfare homes and troops. 1983, 81-year-old Xiao He's "Chasing Han Xin under the Moon" was still staged in Suzhou (its technique was different from Zhou's), and Mr. Sun, who was old, also finished a play on the concrete floor, which was as good as that of a young actor. The old man's dedication and responsible attitude towards the audience is a model of the pear garden in later generations. Another (Zhao and his son kowtowed to each other) and Guan (Guan's uncle, who used to work for Qin) came to see him and walked there. When he died, many unknown passers-by went to mourn and kowtow after hearing the news. Mr. Wu, the former director of Shanghai Peking Opera Theatre, wrote in his eulogy: "With the death of Mr. Sun Lao, we lost a professional artist with the most North and South plays in Peking Opera."
