What about Dashan? He was once a famous foreigner in China and an apprentice of Jiang Kun.

At that time, the mainstream media commented on him: he was a foreigner, but not an outsider. Although he looks ordinary, his eyes are colored and his hair is circled. Speak Chinese, put on a gown, learn to play cross talk and tell jokes. However, after hard study and years of artistic practice, his language level and artistic expression skills are becoming more and more mature, and he has won unanimous praise from experts and audiences in the field of Quyi.

He is Dashan. Is his real name Mark? Henry. Roswell,1965 Dashan was born in Ottawa on May 23rd. Although he is a foreigner, he is not an outsider because he is very popular in CCTV and has a large number of fans in China.

1984 Dashan was admitted to the East Asia Department of the University of Toronto. His Chinese teacher gave him a Chinese name "Lu Shiwei" according to the transliteration of his original name. While studying at the University of Toronto, he fell in love with the language and culture of China. When he was a freshman, he chose an elective course of "Modern Chinese" out of curiosity, and soon made up his mind to major in "China Studies". In his second year at the University of Toronto, Dashan changed Chinese from an elective course to a major course, and became a famous high flyers in East Asian Department. 1988 After graduation, he won a full scholarship, was selected into the exchange program between China and China, and was sent to Peking University, the highest institution in China, to study China language and literature.

1989, Dashan accidentally participated in the CCTV 1989 New Year's Eve party and played a young man named "Xu Dashan" in the sketch "Night Return". His performance made the name "Dashan" a household name overnight, and he named it Dashan in Chinese. Later, he began to learn cross talk under the cross talk actor Jiang Kun, and continued to perform on the stage and TV screens all over the country.

At that time, there were many famous crosstalk artists in Beijing, but Dashan only worshipped Jiang Kun as his teacher. He said: By chance, we met. I joined a group called. Unforgettable 1988? Party. Two teachers, Jiang Kun and Tang Jiezhong, also performed "Breaking News" at the party, so we met. ?

In China, it is a very serious and grand thing for a master to accept an apprentice. Except Dashan, no foreigner in phonology officially accepted his apprentice. When he decided to accept a foreign apprentice, Jiang Kun had to face many different views in the crosstalk circle.

Dashan recalled:? As soon as he accepted me as a disciple, I was the ninth generation descendant of Zheng Li's crosstalk disciples and the fourth generation descendant of Hou Pai's crosstalk. How big is this title? The pressure can be imagined. At that time, some people, including Master Hou, opposed it. They all told Mr. Jiang that accepting apprentices was not a joke, not a speculation. Teacher Jiang said, don't worry, he studies hard. Look at his development. ?

In the past few years, Dashan has been studying hard and climbing up step by step. From comedy sketches to cross talk, to TV dramas and dramas, and finally to hosting; Dashan has been broadening his artistic path. As a handsome foreign host, he is brilliant and has been recognized and liked by the audience. For decades, he has hosted various programs and activities, including solemn state banquets and jubilant celebrations.

Now Dashan can be said to be an experienced and unique host, especially in hosting bilingual and international large-scale events. For decades, he has hosted various programs and activities, including solemn state banquets and jubilant celebrations. Whether facing tens of thousands of live audiences in the open-air square or just facing the camera lens in the studio, Dashan can skillfully control it.

Anyone who has watched his program knows that the power of Dashan Chinese lies not in fluency, but in clear pronunciation and mellow voice. If you only listen to the sound, you really can't recognize a foreigner speaking Chinese. It's really rare for a foreigner with good Chinese like him. He can speak crosstalk and play classical Chinese. It is no exaggeration to say that his Chinese level is above that of some people in China.

It is also worth mentioning that after he became famous, Dashan and his master Jiang Kun went to Master Hou's house to celebrate his birthday. Hou Linbao patted Dashan on the shoulder and said, This is my fourth generation. ? At that time, I was moved to tears, because after three or four years of hard work, I felt it was a supreme honor to be recognized by him. ?

As the first "foreign comedian" to appear in the Spring Festival Evening in a cross talk dress, this foreigner has developed his career in China for decades. Perhaps in the hearts of China audience, he only has blue eyes and yellow hair, and still retains the appearance of a foreigner. Under the stage, he married a girl from China and became China's "foreign son-in-law".

Dashan 1990 performed in Liaoning in the autumn, and got to know Gan Lin, a girl from China who was the organization and coordinator of the band at that time. Three years later, they got married. Dashan married Chongqing sister Gan Lin on 1993, and her son Rui Rui was born on 1995. 1998 Daughter Xiaoyi was born. After the child was born, Dashan sent his wife and children to Canada in order not to disturb family life, while Dashan himself moved between China and Canada. Children go to French school in Canada, neighbors speak English and Chinese is the main language at home. China, a country once far from the other side of the ocean, has long been a lifelong complex of mountains.

Dashan has lived in China for a long time, but the outside world has been concerned about whether this foreign-related marriage exists. Cultural conflict? Dashan thinks this idea is strange: marriage is a combination of two people, not two countries, nationalities and cultures, and any two people will have different backgrounds. In fact, the difference between China and the West is not so obvious. In some ways, I am more China than her. ? But Dashan loves to use it? Plain is true? Describe your married life. ? Dashan probably spoke the hearts of many people. How can they love each other for 25 years if they can't experience anything?

In the next ten years, Dashan hopes that when he is 50-60 years old, he can not only give full play to his own characteristics, but also reflect the characteristics of this era, and gradually develop Dashan's "Dashan Tan" into a work that combines Chinese and Western ideas, has comedy effects and has repeated appreciation value. I also hope that this middle-aged man who is never satisfied with the status quo will inject a new interpretation into his identity as a "Chinese and foreign cultural messenger" in his unique way.
