On June 27, a netizen published a recent photo of Tang Aiguo on a video account, showing Tang Aiguo wearing a white baseball cap and a red T-shirt, looking very young. Pick cherries in the cherry orchard, enjoy a comfortable retirement time, and live a dashing life much better than Master Jiang Kun.
Why did Tang Aiguo become Jiang Kun's apprentice?
What is the relationship between him and Guo Degang?
As a master and apprentice, why is it that the 70-year-old Jiang Kun still walks the cave to find gold, but Tang Aiguo, the apprentice, enjoys a comfortable time? This history must start from Tang Aiguo's past!
01
The special family environment made Tang Aiguo establish a great ideal in his heart since he was a child, that is, to join the army and serve the society.
At the age of 13, Tang Aiguo got his wish and became a propaganda fighter in the Eighth Tank Division. After withstanding the test of time, Tang Aiguo was able to gain a firm foothold in the army. After having free time, the seed of love for cross-talk art in Tang Aiguo's heart began to sprout.
Thus there was a later worship of Jiang Kun as a teacher.

After learning "martial arts" from his master, Tang Aiguo combined it into the military culture and created his own way of performing. During this period, Tang Aiguo did not give up his military career, still used his own way to give back to the troops, in addition to creation, Tang Aiguo also went to Xisha, twice to the front line, three times to the flood, earthquake relief site to comfort those who served the people's children and soldiers.
1994 was a turning point in Tang Aiguo's life, a year in which he won the honor of the top ten comedians in the country with his own efforts, and began to serve as an actor and team leader of the song and dance troupe singing team in the army.
With more time to contact the art of music, Tang Aiguo focused on creation. Many popular works have been born. "Fifteen Moons", "Amusement Dreams", "Patriotic Law", "Little Recruits", "Gifts", "Persuasion", "Bet on Treasure", "Key Moment", "Sister-in-law" and so on. Among them, more than ten works have won awards in the whole army in the country.

The accumulation of long-term experience has also brought Tang Aiguo another highlight moment in his life. In order to achieve an artistic breakthrough, Tang Aiguo and his partner Qi Liqiang created a sensational cross-talk "Lazy Man Sugar Gourd", which made the audience remember in a witty way.
To this day, some people will still remember his classic image, a "benevolent brother" wearing a torn cotton jacket and squatting on the ground to make words.
Along with the popularity of this work, Tang Aiguo has since had a new name, "Sugar Gourd". The work was subsequently broadcast on CCTV many times, and Tang Aiguo and his partner also participated in CCTV evenings and programs such as "Variety Show" many times. Although he was born in Hunan, he has always been regarded as a native of Shandong and currently holds important positions in Shandong.

Although the current cross-talk is mainly based on the "Deyun Society", the cross-talk of the Deyun Society is also green and yellow, and the same is true of the entire large market.
The time when Tang Aiguo's cross-talk cause "declined" was the time of Guo Degang's rise. In the face of the fire of "non-famous (non-mainstream) cross-talk actors", Tang Aiguo's views and master Jiang Kun are very different.
Crosstalk needs a perfect platform to show, and the theater form is the venue of crosstalk, in which the actors can interact well with the audience, so that the art of crosstalk is once again known to the audience.
"Guo Degang brought cross-talk back to the theater, back to the theater garden, cross-talk you can't rush to say, to say deeply, to talk thoroughly, to communicate with the audience, on these occasions, no one urges, no one rushes, natural cross-talk has a taste, in order to produce fine products."
Guo Degang's cross-talk is an ironclad "custom", but "custom" lies in how to understand, Tang Aiguo once publicly stated that Guo Degang's "custom" is popular, "custom" is closer to life, more popular with the audience, after all, art comes from life.
In fact, Guo Degang's fire is not accidental, and some mainstream people now feel that they have a staff, so they are not good at studying, and they are pulling all day long, because even if they do not perform, they also have a salary.
This kind of behavior makes them inert, and Guo Degang is different, he is working his own, so he should be fiery and should be lasting. Seeing through all this, not partnering with the mainstream, preferring to enjoy retirement life, this is Tang Aiguo's song artist student.
