In the Chinese cross talk industry, there is such a legend: he put on a military uniform at the age of 13 and set foot on the front line twice to give condolence performances; After worshipping the famous teacher Jiang Kun as his teacher, he created the widely circulated "Lazy Man Sugar Gourd"; has appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala many times, and also won the honor of "Top Ten Laughing Stars".
However, with the rise of Deyun Club and the transformation of the cross talk industry, this once beautiful cross talk master seems to have gradually faded out of the public's sight. He is Tang Aiguo.
In the face of great changes in the industry, why do he and his mentor Jiang Kun have completely different views? Now that he is in the age of sixtieth year, what kind of life does he live? Let's unveil the mystery of Tang Aiguo's cross talk life and explore the legendary experience of this artist.
In 1957, Tang Aiguo was born in Qingdao, Shandong Province, in an artistic family. From an early age, he developed a keen interest in acting. When he was still in elementary school, the young Tang Aiguo took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the performance of the Jinan Railway System.
Although he is not as tall as a bag of grain, his lively and cheerful personality and performance without stage fright have won the love of the audience.
In December 1970, the wheel of fortune began to turn. Tang Aiguo, who was only 13 years old, was exceptionally recruited as a soldier by the Eighth Tank Division of the Jinan Military Region and officially stepped into the barracks.
Here he joined the propaganda team and became an honorable propaganda warrior. His military career not only exercised Tang's patriotic will, but also accumulated rich materials for his future artistic creation.
In 1979, an important opportunity arose. The mainland launched a "self-defense counterattack against Vietnam," and Tang Aiguo set foot on the front line in Guangxi for the first time as a literary and art worker.
Standing on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and looking at the smiles of the soldiers because of their performances, Tang Aiguo deeply realized the value and significance of the performance. This experience not only strengthened his pursuit of art, but also injected a steady stream of inspiration into his creation.
With his love and awe for art, Tang Aiguo learned from the famous cross talk artist Jiang Kun under the recommendation of his predecessors. Although the two were of similar age, Tang Aiguo always maintained a respectful and humble attitude in front of his master.
Under the careful guidance of Jiang Kun, Tang Aiguo has a deeper understanding and comprehension of the art of cross talk.
Tang Aiguo was not satisfied with the traditional form of cross talk. He began to try to skillfully integrate his rich military experience with cross talk performances, and gradually created a unique performance style.
This innovation not only made his performance in the army very popular, but also laid a solid foundation for his future development in the cross talk industry.
In this way, from a 13-year-old young recruit to an up-and-coming cross talk actor, Tang Aiguo used his enthusiasm and talent to build a bridge between the barracks and the stage.
His military experience not only shaped his resolute character, but also injected a unique charm into his artistic career. This experience has become an important cornerstone for Tang Aiguo to shine on the cross talk stage in the future.
Entering the 90s, Tang Aiguo's talent began to shine on the cross talk stage. He worked together with his partner Qi Liqiang to create the cross talk drama "Lazy Man Sugar Gourd" that made him famous in one fell swoop.
As soon as this work was launched, it caused a sensation across the country and became one of the most popular cross talk programs of that era.
The audience was deeply attracted by the unique image created by Tang Aiguo: a shabby cotton jacket wrapped around his body, his hands always in his pockets, and he spoke a thick Shandong dialect.
This image is so vivid that before Tang Aiguo could speak, the audience was already bursting with laughter and thunderous applause. People affectionately called him "Sugar Gourd", and this nickname soon spread all over the country.
In 1992, Tang Aiguo ushered in an important turning point in his career. He and Qi Liqiang jointly appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and brought the cross talk program "Changing the Face".
Their performances were humorous and skillfully blended with the charm of life and art, which caused the audience to laugh. This successful appearance opened up a broader space for Tang Aiguo to develop, and also made him a well-deserved "national comedy star".
The success of the Spring Festival Gala is just the beginning. Since then, Tang Aiguo has participated in CCTV's "Quyuan Miscellaneous Talk" column for many years. On this platform, he is constantly creating new works and showcasing his talent and creativity.
Although these works have been well received, none of them seem to have surpassed the brilliance of "Lazy Man Sugar Gourd". Therefore, some people jokingly called Tang Aiguo "a 'sugar gourd' who only plays one show in his life".
Despite this, this does not affect Tang Aiguo's status and reputation in the cross talk industry.
In 1994, Tang Aiguo's artistic career reached its peak, and he was awarded the highest honor of "Top Ten Laughing Stars in China". This award is not only an affirmation of his hard work over the years, but also a sign that his status in the cross talk industry has been unshakable.
Tang Aiguo became one of the hottest cross talk actors at that time, and his performances were very popular both on Shandong Satellite TV and on the national stage.
However, behind the success lies an irreparable regret. Just when Tang's patriotic career was in full swing, he received the bad news that his mother was seriously ill. In the face of his wife's pleading, he chose to stick to his post and continue to complete the performance.
When he hurried home, he had already missed the opportunity to see his mother one last time. This has become an eternal pain in Tang Aiguo's heart, and it also allows us to see the soft and complex side of this cross talk master's heart.
From the popularity of "Lazy Man Sugar Gourd" to the shine of the Spring Festival Gala stage, and then to the honor of "Top Ten Laughing Stars", Tang Aiguo's cross talk career can be said to have made great progress.
With his talent and hard work, he has written a strong stroke in the traditional art field of cross talk. However, the brilliance of his career and the regrets of his personal life are intertwined, which also adds a bit of legend to Tang Aiguo's artistic life.
In 2005, the rise of new media such as Internet video websites brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to the traditional art of cross talk. In this era of change, a new cross talk group called "Deyun Club" has sprung up.
Deyun Club, led by Guo Degang, quickly attracted a large number of young audiences with its unique and humorous performance form, leading a wave of innovation in the cross talk industry.
In the face of this emerging force, completely different voices have emerged within the cross talk world. Tang Aiguo's mentor Jiang Kun questioned the performance style of "Deyun Club".
As a representative of traditional cross talk, Jiang Kun believes that the performance of "Deyun Club" is too secular and lacks the depth and connotation that cross talk should have. He insisted that cross talk should maintain its cultural heritage and the characteristics of elegance and vulgarity, rather than blindly catering to the audience's tastes.
However, unexpectedly, Tang Aiguo had a disagreement with his mentor on this issue. Different from Jiang Kun's critical attitude, Tang Aiguo looked at the rise of "Deyun Club" with a more open and inclusive attitude.
He realized that "Deyun Club" has grasped the characteristics of the Internet era, broken through the traditional shackles, and injected new vitality into the cross talk industry, which has fallen into a trough.
Tang Aiguo's view reflects his forward-looking and inclusive attitude as an artist. He deeply understands that the development of art forms must keep pace with the times in order to continue to flourish in the new era.
Although his shine has waned in this new era, he is still pleased that the industry as a whole is thriving.
This difference in views not only reflects the different understandings of the essence of art between the two generations of cross talk artists, but also reflects the challenges and opportunities faced by the traditional art of cross talk in the new era.
Tang's patriotic attitude shows his deep insight into the laws of artistic development.
Faced with the rise of the new generation of forces, Tang Aiguo chose to gradually retreat into the background. This decision is not only a response to the changes of the times, but also a new positioning for his own artistic pursuit.
He began to think about how to find a balance between tradition and innovation, and how to continue to contribute to the development of cross talk art in the context of the new era.
The rise of Deyun Club has not only changed the pattern of the cross talk industry, but also forced traditional cross talk artists like Tang Aiguo to re-examine their position and value.
In this change, Tang Aiguo showed a rare mind and wisdom, providing an important direction for the benign development of the entire cross talk industry.
After 2005, Tang Aiguo began to fade out of the public eye, but he did not leave his beloved literary and artistic career. Instead, he chose a new way to continue his artistic career.
Tang Aiguo accepted the position of vice chairman of the Shandong Literature and Art Association and began to move from the front of the stage to the backstage. In this new position, he has devoted his years of accumulated experience and wisdom to discovering and cultivating a new generation of cross talk talents, injecting new vitality into this ancient art form.
In addition to cultivating newcomers, Tang Aiguo also actively participates in social welfare activities, interpreting the social responsibility of an artist with practical actions. On September 15, 2020, 63-year-old Tang Aiguo attended a charity event.
In the activities of the Caring for Veterans Foundation and the CIC Charity Association, he is still in good spirits, showing his care and sense of responsibility for the society.
Although the main focus turned to behind-the-scenes work, Tang Aiguo did not completely put down his acting career. Between 2007 and 2009, he was invited to participate in two TV series.
Despite the limited number of scenes, these attempts demonstrate his continued love for the performing arts. What's even more surprising is that in 2022, Tang Aiguo, who is already 65 years old, will take the stage again and participate in the performance of the movie "Filial Piety in Tonghe Village".
His superb acting skills and profound acting skills won unanimous praise from the audience.
Tang Aiguo's transformational actions not only show his multifaceted nature as an artist, but also reflect his deep love for cross talk art. Whether it is cultivating newcomers, participating in public welfare, or trying film and television performances, it is his unremitting efforts to inherit and develop the art of cross talk.
In this process, Tang Aiguo found a new value in life, and also contributed to the modernization and development of the traditional art of cross talk.
Looking back on Tang Aiguo's life, we see a legendary figure who has dedicated most of his life to the army and the art of cross talk. From enlisting in the army at the age of 13 to becoming a leader in the cross talk industry, Tang Aiguo's life trajectory is both unique and exciting.
His artistic achievements have been widely recognized and he is known as a "national hero in the cross talk world". This title is not only an affirmation of his personal talent, but also a high evaluation of his contribution to the art of cross talk.
However, behind the glory there is also an irreparable regret. The experience of missing the last time he saw his mother became an eternal pain in Tang Aiguo's heart. This story also allows us to see the difficult choice between the artist's career and family affection, showing Tang Aiguo's sense of responsibility as an artist and his deep regret as a son.
Today, although it is the year of the sixtieth year, Tang Aiguo still maintains his love for art and enthusiasm for life. In February 2023, a fan met Tang Aiguo in a breakfast restaurant, and he looked energetic and energetic in the photo.
This scene is gratifying, and it also allows us to see the other side of this cross talk master - ordinary and warm daily life.
Tang Aiguo's life story is a model of the coexistence of artistic achievements and personal regrets. It teaches us that even at the peak of life, we need to know how to balance career and family affection.
We hope that this cross talk master can continue to contribute to China's quyi industry, and we also hope that he can find the perfect balance between art and life in the future.
