Often performing stand-up cross talk has both high artistic charm and certain literariness. His stand-up crosstalk has been studied and pondered by his counterparts in southern folk art, inherited the tradition, absorbed the artistic skills of southern monologue and criticism, and borrowed the performance techniques of movies and dramas. Through long-term performance practice, the unique artistic style of "making life meticulous and porcelain solid" and "bearing a burden" has gradually formed, which is implicit, harmonious, inclusive, emotional and spiritual. Therefore, he is known as "stand-up king of comedy" and "cold comedian". Liu Baorui was also a pioneer in introducing the northern crosstalk art to audiences in Jiangnan, Hong Kong and Macao.

Yu Qian is good at "hanging now" (an impromptu burden in cross talk) and has a quick response. Degang Guo's talent for being funny is great, and Yu Qian's handling skills are also great.

Degang Guo

Degang Guo, crosstalk performer, film actor and TV talk show host. 65438-0979 devoted himself to the art world, first learning storytelling from Gao Qinghai, a storytelling elder, then learning crosstalk from Chang Baofeng, a famous crosstalk artist, and then learning crosstalk from Hou, a crosstalk master. In the meantime, I studied Peking Opera, Pingju, Hebei Bangzi and other operas, and went to Liyuan for many years.

Degang Guo is a grass-roots artist, because his works are grounded, so he is loved by the public. An actor who loves cross talk very much and an artist who works very hard, this is my judgment on him. It is not easy to work hard until now. Along the way, there are both the bitterness of being left out and the harm of not being accepted. His temperament is beautiful, twisted and generous; Seeking artistic independence, thinking and good foundation.

Representative works: My Life, I want to fight against the three customs, I want happiness, Dream of the West, etc.
