A Brief Introduction to Enrique Bohr's Life

Whenever someone asks me what I do, I will be embarrassed, blushing and tongue-tied. People thought I was a calm person. I envy those who can say "I am a plasterer". I envy those hairdressers, bookkeepers and writers who can express themselves directly, because their occupations are self-evident and need no unnecessary explanation, but I feel embarrassed to answer such a question: I am a joke. Once I confessed, I was answering the second question: "Is this how you make a living?" At this time, I have to honestly confess: "Yes."

I do laugh for a living, and I laugh very well, because in business terms, my laughter is in short supply. I am an excellent comedian, no one laughs better than me, and no one can carry forward the essence of my art in this way. For a long time, in order to avoid endless explanations, I would call myself an actor, but my talent in burlesque and recitation is so poor that I think it is too outrageous to use this name; I love the truth, and the truth is: I am a laugher. I am neither a clown nor a comedian. I don't make people happy, I perform happily; I smile like a Roman emperor, or like a sensitive little boy. I laughed as much in the17th century as in the19th century. If occasion requires, I laugh at all centuries, all social classes and all different times, just like a shoemaker. This is just a skill I have developed. In my heart, I embrace the laughter of America, Africa, white people, red people and yellow people-as long as the reward is right, my laughter can burst out at the request of the director. I have become indispensable; I laugh on the record and on the tape, and the TV director respects me. I smiled sadly, moderately and nervously; I laugh like a ticket cutter on a tram or a helper in a grocery store; Laugh in the morning, laugh at night, laugh at midnight and laugh at dawn. In short, whenever I need any form of laughter, I must laugh. Needless to say, this industry is naturally boring, especially because I have another specialty-making infectious laughter, which is an indispensable helper for third-and fourth-rate comedians. Actors at this level are afraid-no wonder they-that the audience will miss their key jokes, so I spend most of the evening as a silent supporter in nightclubs, and my duty is to make the show too weak. This laughter must be carefully timed; My laughter can't come too early or too late, it must be just right; At the pre-rehearsed juncture, I burst out laughing, and the laughter of the audience will resound through the audience, and the jokes told on the stage will be saved. As for me, I dragged myself to the cloakroom, put on my coat and thanked myself for finally getting off work. When I get home, I always find a telegram waiting for me: "I need your laughter right away." Recording on Tuesday. "

A few hours later, I was already sitting on a special express train, with excessive heating and lamenting my fate. Needless to say, I don't want to laugh at all when I get off work or on vacation; Cowboys are eager to forget cows, and plasterers are happy to forget plaster. The carpenter's door is often broken, or the drawer can't be opened. Candy sellers like pickles, butchers like almond cakes, and toasters prefer to chew sausages. Don't chew bread either; The matador keeps pigeons for fun. The boxer turned white when he saw his child with a nosebleed. I think this is all natural, because I never laugh after work. I am a serious person, and many people think-perhaps quite right-that I am a pessimistic person. In the first few years of our marriage, my wife often said to me, "Smile!" " But then she realized that I couldn't satisfy her wishes. I can relax my tense muscles and tired energy in complete dignity, and I will feel happy. It's true, even I can't stand other people's laughter, because it reminds me of my career. Therefore, our marriage is very quiet and peaceful, because even my wife forgot how to laugh; Occasionally I see a smile on her face, and I smile back at her. We talked in a low voice because I hate the noise of nightclubs and the noise that fills the recording studio from time to time. People who don't know me think I'm taciturn. Maybe, because I have to laugh often. I have been indifferent all my life, occasionally squeezing out a gentle smile. I often wonder if I can really laugh. I don't think so. My brothers and sisters always think that I am an old-fashioned child. Yes, I laugh in various forms, but I have never heard my own laughter.
