This group of photos was taken in Wanglaozhuang Village, Ligang Town, Zhaocheng County.
The wind and sand entangled until the end of the world finally fell
You and I broke up and annihilated the bustle in the streets
It's like the smoke and rain of the next world
Qingyi Gu pan away from the Jackdaw
Light and shadow snake and twist in the Pavilion
Two people in a scene left ripples without a shadow
That really paid a lot of pity
Listening to the drama people reminisce about the past
I sing a song for you like gossamer breath
Who is playing the piano with the falling goose sinking fish
I'll give you a preface to the puzzle of past lives
Who is delicate like a pear blossom with rain but far away
I sing a song for you about the battle of online games
Who fell beautiful in the city don't pass Yu Ji
I'll keep the wine for you in this life
Your tears stain the pear blossoms but the pear blossoms drip into the acacia rain
- "Tsing Yi"
Liu Zhonghe, a native of Shangqiu, Henan, is a national first-class actor, known as the red-faced king of Eastern Henan and the Yu opera "Ma Lianliang".
Since 1980, his vocals have been recorded and distributed throughout the country and southeast Asia. Its representative repertoire includes "Hitting the Golden Branch", "Three Dozen Golden Branches", "Blood Splashing Wusha", "Fifteen Consecutive", "Yuanmen Chopper", "Qingfeng Pavilion", "Three Weeping Halls" and so on. Liu Zhonghe's singing voice is high-pitched, strong and vicissitudes, natural and smooth, especially good at playing the image of the emperor in traditional plays, and has been praised by opera critics as "a clear voice, half of the walls of the river and mountains".
He is currently a director of the Henan Dramatists Association, the honorary head of the Shangqiu Yu Opera Troupe, a member of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and a director of the Henan Provincial Dramatists Association.
For people in Henan and several neighboring provinces of Henan, you can have no meat for half a year, you can't go without drama for a day, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, entertainment is relatively small, if that village has a stage play, several villages will be empty.
Now the entertainment project is unprecedentedly grand, but it is not often possible to see famous real people on the spot and hear the singing voice of their idols.
Morning's play "Cheng Biting Gold"
In winter, the farmers are idle, the young and strong people go out to work and earn money, China has entered the elderly society, the elderly in the whole village are very many, and it is also a happy thing to see famous people at their doorstep and hear the ming cavity
At lunchtime, the young actor went straight to lunch without removing makeup
In the afternoon, it is Liu Zhonghe's traditional masterpiece, and it is also the favorite "Playing Golden Branch" in eastern Henan.
Master Liu Zhonghe came to the makeup room to make up less than one o'clock in the afternoon, preparing for the performance at two o'clock in the afternoon
While Teacher Liu Zhonghe is putting on makeup, Teacher Liu's apprentices are also busy with their own work
Teacher Liu is 79 years old this year, although he is a national first-class actor, or his own makeup, when he was putting on makeup, I found that in order to prevent his hands from shaking, his left hand has been holding his right hand, even so, his hand is still slightly trembling, and he also coughs from time to time, and his wife who came with him said that he has a cold these days and has been feverish
After learning that Teacher Liu had a cold, his apprentices, including several of our photography colleagues, advised Teacher Liu not to star today, after all, the old man who is almost eighty years old, anyway, the performance of this place is still a few days, tomorrow after tomorrow can also be on stage to perform, under our persuasion, although give up today's full performance, but insist on taking the stage to meet with the villagers, and sing a section of "There is a king sitting in the country" excerpt, I obviously feel that the high profile can not go, the voice is also dumb, willing to take the illness for the villagers to sing, do not fake singing, I really admire the people's artists of that generation
Although I did not hear Teacher Liu's most perfect golden branch, I personally witnessed Teacher Liu, and the villagers were also satisfied
Teacher Liu's colleagues and apprentices seized the time to put on makeup, and this afternoon's golden branch split two halves before and after, the first half by the apprentice to play Tang Wang, the second half by the apprentice Sun
"Guo Huan" and his "object"
There are many young actors in the troupe, almost all of whom are from the class, very professional and dedicated, and when they are not busy, they pack up the props in an orderly manner
The outside is a costume, but the inside should be put on the outside of their own civilian clothes to prevent the "dragon robe" from floating up and revealing their casual clothes, and their names are written on the top of the costumes, so as not to wear the wrong one. Such a costume is OK in winter, and in the summer, the feeling of three layers inside and three layers outside can be imagined
The props master sorts out the costumes several times, even if he performs in the rural wilderness, he is meticulous, which is the quality of the usual professional cultivation
On the stage, they are glamorous actors, offstage, some of them are still children, playing with their hearts, and they have to look at their mobile phones before acting
Before the official performance at two o'clock, the actors of the previous year sang "Blood SplashEd With" on the mat stage.
The official performance begins
Guo Huan and his subjects are in the same frame under the stage
Pets are definitely not allowed in the grand theater, which is a grounded performance, and the family's puppies can also join in the fun
Birds can too
Teacher Liu was alone in the simple powder room, he sat down, and everyone had the main heart
After "Guo Huan" stepped down, Master immediately pointed out his performance on the stage, including a small action and a look
Liu Zhonghe and his team are like this, passing, helping, and bringing, and the Yu opera culture has been passed down in this way
Local photographers shoot stills for young actors
Stage stills
Village by village for farmers
The teachers of these bands are behind-the-scenes heroes, and although they also sit on the stage, they have their backs to the audience, and the audience can only hear them and not see them
