"Before Mei Lanfang, after Li Yugang", why did Li Yugang dare to say this sentence?

Li Yugang didn't say this originally, and he himself was in awe of Mei School. He didn't take the traditional form of opera, but merged the characteristics of the new era. It was originally a slogan that some fans came up with to express their love for Li Yugang, and some media made a big splash, which led to the misunderstanding between Mr. Mei Baojiu and Li Yugang in the end.

When Li Yugang participated in the Avenue of Stars in the early years, because he was good at cross-dressing, he was similar to the male actor in the drama, so the media made a slogan for Li Yugang: Mei Lanfang came before Li Yugang, although it was a bit arrogant, but you should know that Mei Lanfang's youngest son, Mr. Mei Baojiu, was still alive at that time, and Mei Baojiu's position in Beijing opera was not very high. He was not disgusted with Li Yugang at first, but the media trumpeted the slogan that Li Yugang was equal to Mei Lanfang, and even called Li Yugang. Then this news made Mei Lanfang's son unhappy. Art is worthy of respect, but the name can't be named at will.

Li Yugang is well aware of Mr. Mei Baojiu's position in the Beijing Opera circle. At a CCTV party, Li Yugang learned that Mei Baojiu was also under the stage, so he was eager to explain. As soon as he said a word, Mei Baojiu left, leaving Li Yugang embarrassed and at a loss on the stage, which also deepened the misunderstanding between Mei Jiubao and Li Yugang. In fact, sometimes it is good to get things straight.

Later, Mr. Mei Baojiu also said in front of the media that Li Yugang was not a Peking Opera actor. Li Yugang wanted to clarify, but he made a mistake again. He said that although some people in the Peking Opera circle did not recognize my art, there were several male actors like me who were popular in the new century. This statement is also arrogant, but it is also a way to promote the quintessence of Chinese culture. The original misunderstanding has gone deeper and deeper, and it seems to have become a big holiday, and it is increasingly unclear. Until Mr. Mei Baojiu's death, Li Yugang's festival with him has not been solved. Mei Baojiu may not care about these things, but Li Yugang has always felt a little guilty about Mr. Mei Baojiu and Mei School art, and this unsolved festival has become Li Yugang's regret.
