He, wearing a tiger skin, holding a golden hoop stick, a somersault cloud can climb over 108,000 miles, he is an immortal hero in the hearts of countless people, is the embodiment of bravery, wit, loyalty, he is the Monkey King Sun Wukong, and what gives him life and soul is the actor - Liu Xiaolingtong
Liu Xiaolingtong, formerly known as Zhang Jinlai, was born in the "Monkey King Family", immersed in the artistic atmosphere of monkey opera since childhood, his father Zhang Zongyi, stage name Liulingtong, is a famous southern monkey opera performance artist, influenced by the family, Zhang Jinlai has a strong interest in monkey opera since he was a child, followed his father to learn monkey opera performance, and gradually showed extraordinary talent

In 1986, the TV series "Journey to the West" was born, pushing Liu Xiaolingtong to the peak of his career, and the Monkey King he played was agile, brave and fearless, and vividly interpreted the characters in the original work, becoming an irreplaceable classic in the minds of several generations
Over the years, his love and study of the art of monkey opera have given him a deeper understanding of the role of Monkey King, and it has also allowed him to show the charm of the role vividly in his performance
Behind the flowers and applause, it is often accompanied by doubts and controversies, and over time, the reputation of the six-year-old child has experienced a rollercoaster of ups and downs, from the admiration of thousands of people to the controversy, and the reasons are intriguing
The picture comes from the Internet
Some people say that Liuxiaolingtong "eats the old book", has relied on the role of Monkey King for many years, no new works have come out, lack of breakthroughs and innovations, some people say that he is overly commercialized, frequently participates in commercial activities, endorses various products, and loses the purity and elegance of the artist, and some people say that he excessively self-promoted, equating himself with Sun Wukong, and even comparing himself with Wu Chengen, appearing conceited and arrogant
In the face of these doubts, Liu Xiaolingtong is not without a response, he has said that he has devoted his life to the role of Sun Wukong, he hopes to carry forward China's traditional culture, so that more people understand and love Sun Wukong, he also said that he participated in commercial activities to better promote monkey opera culture, so that more people understand and pay attention to this traditional art
These explanations have not completely dispelled the doubts of the outside world, and some people believe that Liu Xiaolingtong's behavior has deviated from the artist's original intention, and he values fame and status more than art itself
The picture comes from the Internet
In stark contrast to the six-year-old child, another old artist - You Benchang, You Benchang only officially stepped into the showbiz at the age of 50, but with his superb acting skills and deep understanding of the role, he successfully created the classic image of "Living Buddha Jigong" and became a well-known performing artist
Unlike the sixth-year-old child, You Benchang did not choose to "eat the old book" after becoming famous, but constantly tried new roles and challenged new fields, he filmed pantomime works, founded an art school, and devoted himself to cultivating the younger generation of artistic talents
You Benchang's artistic pursuit and attitude towards life have won people's respect and admiration, and he has proved with his actions that a true artist will not be burdened by fame and fortune, but always maintain his love and pursuit of art
The picture comes from the Internet
Liu Xiaolingtong and You Benchang, two old artists, with different choices and different destinies, also triggered people's thinking about art and life
In recent years, the reputation of the six-year-old boy seems to have shown signs of recovery, he actively participated in public welfare undertakings, donated money and materials to the disaster area, showed his love and sense of social responsibility, he also began to try new art forms, participated in the performance of stage plays, and achieved a good response
Perhaps, time will dilute everything, but also change everything, for the six young children, the most important thing is not the evaluation of the outside world, but stick to their hearts, do not forget the original intention, and continue to move forward
The picture comes from the Internet
I believe that whether it is Liu Xiaolingtong or You Benchang, their love and pursuit of art will inspire more people to contribute to the prosperity and development of Chinese culture
People's nostalgia for the classics, love for traditional culture, may be an important reason for the recovery of the reputation of the six young children, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" as the collective memory of a generation, carries the emotions and memories of countless people, and the six young children, as the soul of this classic work, has naturally become an irreplaceable existence in people's hearts
In recent years, with the popularization of the Internet and the development of social media, people have paid more and more attention to classic works, and their sense of identity with traditional culture has become stronger and stronger
The picture comes from the Internet
In recent years, Liu Xiaolingtong has actively participated in public welfare undertakings, donated money and materials to the disaster area, and also won him a lot of goodwill, people have seen his kind and enthusiastic side, and also seen his sense of social responsibility as a public figure
Some people believe that he has frequently participated in commercial activities in recent years, and over-consumed the classic image of "Monkey King", which is suspected of "eating the old book", and some people think that some of his remarks and behaviors are too high-profile, and even some "rely on the old and sell the old", which makes people feel uncomfortable
No matter what the outside world says, Liu Xiaolingtong has always adhered to his own artistic pursuit, he once said that he hopes to carry forward China's traditional culture, so that more people understand and love Sun Wukong, he also said that he participated in commercial activities to better promote monkey opera culture, so that more people understand and pay attention to this traditional art
The picture comes from the Internet
Perhaps, for an artist, the most important thing is not the evaluation of the outside world, but to stick to his heart, never forget his original intention, continue to move forward, and believe that Liu Xiaolingtong will continue to use his own actions to contribute to the prosperity and development of Chinese culture
It is often said that time will tell, and this sentence seems particularly appropriate when used on the six-year-old child, and in recent years, with the passage of time, people's evaluation of him has gradually become more rational, and the controversy and doubts of the past have gradually been replaced by understanding and tolerance
Among them, of course, there are factors of changes in the social and cultural environment, but more importantly, the sixth child himself is constantly reflecting and adjusting, he began to pay more attention to public welfare, actively participate in various charity activities, and give back to the society with practical actions, he also began to try new art forms, participate in stage performances, and show more diversified performance talents
The picture comes from the Internet
More importantly, he has always maintained his awe for art and respect for tradition, and he knows that the role of Monkey King can become a classic because it carries the spiritual core and cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, so he always insists on interpreting this role with the most rigorous attitude and the most exquisite skills, and is committed to passing on the Chinese monkey opera culture
People began to realize that an actor can play a role so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, behind which must have paid unimaginable efforts and sweat, and people have also begun to understand that his persistence and love for the role of Monkey King is not out of the pursuit of fame and fortune, but from the pursuit of art and the inheritance of culture
For a public figure, any words and deeds will inevitably attract different voices, and Liu Xiaolingtong is no exception, some people criticize him for being too "more serious", too sensitive to some business practices related to the image of the Monkey King, and even took some radical moves, and some people think that he is too dependent on the aura of "Monkey King", lacks breakthroughs and innovations, and is difficult to achieve greater achievements in other fields
The picture comes from the Internet
He knows that the road of art is long and arduous, and he needs to continue to explore and innovate, as well as adhere to and inherit, and he is willing to use his own actions to prove his love for art and responsibility for culture
As You Benchang said: "An actor must be worthy of the audience, but also worthy of his conscience," this sentence may also be the artistic creed that Liu Xiaolingtong has always adhered to, he hopes that through his performance, the values of truth, goodness and beauty will be passed on to more people, so that Chinese traditional culture will shine more dazzling in the new era
Looking back on the artistic career of Liu Xiaolingtong, we can see an actor's persistent pursuit of the role, and we can also see an artist's inheritance and responsibility for culture
The picture comes from the Internet
His story also makes us understand that the value of a person does not lie in how much honor and applause he has received, but in how much he has contributed to society and culture, and true art will eventually stand the test of time and leave its own mark in the long river of history
Liu Xiaolingtong and You Benchang, two old artists, although they have different choices and experiences on the road of art, but their love and pursuit of art, the inheritance and responsibility of culture, are the same, they use their own actions, set an example for us, but also contribute to the prosperity and development of Chinese culture
Their stories also inspire us to stick to our dreams, never forget our original intentions, forge ahead, and always maintain our love for art and awe of culture no matter how many difficulties and challenges we encounter, and use our own actions to create our own brilliance
The picture comes from the Internet
The artistic life of Liu Xiaolingtong is a legend and a mirror, which allows us to see the love and persistence of an actor for the role, and also allows us to see the inheritance and responsibility of an artist for culture, and his story will continue to inspire generations of young people and contribute to the prosperity and development of Chinese culture
And we should also appreciate and support every artist who has contributed to the development of Chinese culture with a more tolerant and understanding attitude, so that they can create more excellent works in a more relaxed and free environment, and contribute to the cultural rejuvenation of the Chinese nation
In the past, people valued more on the artist's work and achievements, but nowadays, people pay more attention to the artist's character and sense of social responsibility
The picture comes from the Internet
This is both progress and a challenge, for artists, they need to pay more attention to their own moral cultivation and sense of social responsibility, and use their words and deeds to win the respect and recognition of society
As for the general public, we should also look at artists more rationally, and not deny their artistic achievements and social contributions because of some personal remarks or behaviors
I believe that in the future, Liuxiaolingtong will continue to use their own actions to contribute to the prosperity and development of Chinese culture, and we should also appreciate and support every artist who has contributed to the development of Chinese culture with a more inclusive and understanding attitude, and jointly create a better future for the Chinese nation
In the wave of globalization and informatization, Chinese traditional culture is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges, and how to make traditional culture glow with new vitality in the new era is an important topic in front of us
He combines traditional monkey opera with modern film and television art, and interprets the classic image of Monkey King to the fullest, so that Chinese traditional culture has entered thousands of households and has also entered the world stage
His success also enlightens us that in order to inherit and carry forward traditional Chinese culture, we must keep pace with the times, continue to innovate and develop, and pass on the essence of traditional culture to more people in a more colorful form
I believe that in the future, there will be more artists like Liu Xiaolingtong who will use their talents and wisdom to contribute to the inheritance and development of Chinese traditional culture, so that the excellent culture of the Chinese nation will shine more brightly in the new era!
