Song Guiling's Artistic Life

Teacher Song is a stubborn woman, very strong, always trying to conquer people with art, never fawning on others, growing up. It is this personality that makes her study drama harder than others and practice harder than others. It is this personality that made her stand out in art very early. As a teenager, she became popular in Kaifeng, the provincial capital. Even the whole Henan province was shocked by such a talented little actor. At that time, newspapers called her "Little Queen of Henan Opera" in succession. After the Japanese were driven away, performances were more frequent than before, and there were more things against sheds. As soon as Song Guiling arrived, the scene changed. At that time, in Zhengzhou, four troupes were fighting with five famous actors. In order to get the red flag and extra reward, a troupe invited Song Guiling from Kaifeng. Sure enough, people flocked to this stage like refugees collecting disaster food. At that time, the person in charge of the meeting sincerely praised "Song Guiling, what a good spirit!" . After a lapse of 50 years, when Teacher Song's memoir was published in Taiwan Province Province, Chen Lifu heard that it was the work of "Little Queen of Henan Opera" in the Republic of China, and gladly wrote the title. When she was studying traditional Chinese opera, she was catching up with War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Second Revolutionary Civil War. She has a deep understanding of the pain brought by war to people, especially artists. The liberation of the nation and the freedom of the people made her deeply realize the superiority of socialism. Comfort the PLA soldiers who are desperate on the Korean battlefield. Out of love for this new motherland, she decided to "improve the literary level there" in Puyang and other places in the old liberated areas at that time. Undoubtedly, this is the main reason. Besides, according to the piano player (Wang Sujun's husband) who was in the Peace Troupe at that time, there was another reason: before and after liberation, the Peace Troupe had two big stars, one was Li Zhizhen and the other was Guan Lingfeng. Li Zhizhen is also an admirer of Chen Suzhen. The audience once joked that "I really missed the" Righteous Fierce Wind "(Li's level is actually very high, recorded in Teacher Song's memoirs, and even made Teacher Song feel faint pressure). At that time, Song Guiling was in a transitional period from youth to youth, and her thoughts and art were gradually becoming independent. She saw the people's dissatisfaction with the recurrence of the old play and wanted to reform. At that time, the Peace Troupe had no innovative atmosphere, and she also wanted to go out and set up a school with her own style. But she underestimated the difficulties in the old areas and the importance of publicity to art and culture. Chen Suzhen's innovation was successful because she met Fan, and Chang Xiangyu became famous because she married, but what she met left her scarred.
