Why didn't Mei Lanfang's son Mei Baojiu forgive Li Yugang until he died?

"Before Mei Lanfang and after Li Yugang." Li Yugang, who won the reputation of this rookie at that time, should not have thought of it. Because of this sentence, he and Mei Baojiu, the inheritor of Meipai art, forged a lifelong knot.

First, the knot between Mei Baojiu and Li Yugang

In 2006, Li Yugang became an instant hit on CCTV's Avenue of Stars. Because he is good at cross-dressing, similar to the male Dan in the national drama, Li Yugang creatively added many elements of the national drama when performing. This surprised some viewers and thought that Li Yugang's performance was a bit like Mr Mei Lanfang's. The program group also heard these rumors, and in order to improve the stunt, they simply put out the slogan "Mei Lanfang before, Li Yugang after". But in fact, such a slogan is extremely imprecise.

On the one hand, Mei Baojiu, Mei Lanfang's son, is still alive, and he is an authentic inheritor of Mei School art. It is disrespectful for Mr. Mei Baojiu to directly go over Mei Baojiu to flatter Li Yugang.

Secondly, Beijing opera and traditional opera pay special attention to inheritance. At that time, Li Yugang was a novice without an apprentice. Comparing Mei Lanfang, the founder of Mei Pai, with him really belittles Mr Mei Lanfang's demeanor.

So when these slogans reached Mei Baojiu's ears, he was extremely unhappy, saying that male Dan should be pure art and should not be vulgarized to please the audience. They also strongly protested those acts under the banner of Mr. Mei Lanfang. In fact, in the final analysis, it is Mei Lanfang's inexplicable touching porcelain. As a son, or as the inheritor of Mei school art, it is normal for Mei Baojiu to feel unhappy and refute. But Li Yugang is a bit stubborn. When he heard Mr. Mei Baojiu's response, he not only didn't apologize, but also said: Although some people don't recognize my art, few actors can be as popular as me.

If touching porcelain Mei Lanfang for the first time, it was Li Yugang's unintentional mistake. Then this strong reaction really intensified the contradiction. As a result, Li Yugang not only didn't apologize immediately, but also offended Mei Pai again at the next CCTV party.

At that CCTV party, after the host introduced Li Yugang, Li Yugang's first sentence was: "On behalf of the profound Mei school art, I would like to express my heartfelt greetings to the national audience." The audience Mei Baojiu still joking. Hearing this sentence, his face changed and he got up and left. And Li Yugang especially at a loss, don't know where we have sinned against Mei Baojiu. It was not until someone reminded him that he knew that in this inheritance-oriented business, he was not qualified to represent Mei Pai without being an apprentice. Mei school art, in particular, is an important part of China's traditional culture, representing the quintessence of Peking Opera, and its seriousness can be imagined.

Li Yugang doesn't even understand the rules of this industry, so he dares to act as an agent for the United States. How can we not let Mei Baojiu leave?

Second, why didn't Li Yugang apologize?

Li Yugang was "targeted" by Mei Pai. Since then, he has missed many opportunities to perform on stage. Li Yugang took this as the revenge of Mei Pai, but some of them were not necessarily written by Mei Pai. But the whole circle is so big, it is likely that others know about his feud with Mei Pai and don't want to offend Mei Pai, so they turned him down. However, it was true that Li Yugang's career was damaged at that time. He found Mr. Wang Kun, hoping that he could intercede for himself.

Teacher Wang Kun is a respected artist in Nedgard. Li Yugang wrote a letter, revised it many times, and gave it to Mr. Wang Kun, hoping that he could give it to Mei Baojiu for him. As a result, Mr. Wang Kun later said to him, "You must tie the bell to untie it." Let Li Yugang explain to Mei Baojiu himself. Actually, Mr. Wang Kun has given a solution, not to say that Mei Baojiu is unwilling to settle, but to let Li Yugang handle it himself.

But Li Yugang thinks that Mei Baojiu doesn't want to listen to his explanation. He thinks it's hopeless for him to talk to Mei Pai. With this kind of psychology, Li Yugang simply does nothing and doesn't look for someone to intercede. He believes that it is enough to be yourself, and the rest will be natural. He wrote on his blog, "I bow to history, but reality makes me hold my head high." I can only do this. The choice given to me by history can only spell out a way out. There is quite a bit in the speech: "Although thousands of people go, I will go." As you can imagine, Mei Baojiu saw this sentence, the in the mind will certainly be more impolite to Li Yugang.

Because, in Mei Baojiu's view, this matter was started by Li Yugang from beginning to end, and Mei Pai was just defending his reputation. Li Yugang's words seem to be bullied by Mei Pai. Because of this, the knot between Mei Baojiu and Li Yugang has not been solved. Third, this may be a lifelong regret for Li Yugang.

Mei Lanfang is not only the founder of Mei School, but also has made great contributions to the development of Beijing Opera. Especially now, Peking Opera has become a national quintessence and an important representative of China's traditional culture. The significance of this is even deeper. This is especially true in Mei Baojiu.

When he was a child, he was not particularly interested in China's traditional drama. It was not until 13 officially stepped onto the stage that he slowly felt the responsibility of inheritance and studied singing seriously. For him, developing Mei School and inheriting Peking Opera is not only a career, but also a filial piety to his father. He has always been proud of his father and Mei Pai. So after his father died, he studied hard and performed his father's classic plays, and won back the glory of Mei School bit by bit.

I just want to let the world know that even if Mei Lanfang is gone, the Mei School art he left behind will not disappear, but will develop better and better. Thanks to Mei Baojiu's efforts, he gradually emerged in this industry and became a respected master. At that time, some knowledgeable people said that Mei Baojiu's pitch had surpassed his father's. At that time, Li Yugang was just born. Therefore, it is conceivable that when Li Yugang made his debut in the name of Mei Lanfang and Mei Pai, Mei Baojiu was angry.

It is not difficult to understand that the reputation of "Mei School" earned by himself and his father for two generations was repeatedly used by a young man, and Mei Baojiu left angrily. Unfortunately, Mei Baojiu's mood, Li Yugang can't understand. He only felt that he had been suppressed by his predecessors, but he never thought that it was because he didn't respect Mei Pai and Mr. Mei Baojiu enough.

20 16 On April 25th, Mr. Mei Baojiu died in Beijing at the age of 82. He never left a child in his life, but he cultivated many descendants of Mei School, and he is a well-deserved master in the field of Chinese drama.

While many people are mourning for Mr. Mei Baojiu, Li Yugang also posted his memory of Mr. Mei Baojiu on his social account. Only when Mei Baojiu was still alive after his death, Li Yugang did not formally apologize to him. By the time Mr. Mei Baojiu died, there was no chance to untie the knot at last. For Li Yugang, this may also be an eternal regret in his heart.
