- On the Season
* Ma Dong
My father racing season, formerly known as Ma Shuhuai, born in Beijing in 1933, thirty-year-old and my mother married, the end of 1968 I was born in Harbin.
Although I was an only child, was my childhood days together with his father not many. In my mind, he always has ten months of the year in the field, not at home on holidays is often a matter. People are accustomed to at home, he happily, as to the field performances, writing, depth of life, and so is his career, he's fun.
Small family my father is not good. Grandfather died young, depends entirely on the lives of four brothers and sisters, one grandmother support, uncle and my father was forced to read "upper primary" to go out as an apprentice. Uncle went to Tianjin, then get married and have children, in Tianjin, "root children" of the. Father went to Shanghai for a five-year, apprentices, although not learn anything, but since then his independent life begins. Back to Beijing coincided with the liberation, he re-enter school, finished junior high school. 1951, he was admitted to the Beijing Xinhua Bookstore, has in Wangfujing, Haidian, and other outlets work. That is, since then, his literary talent for gradually emerged in the amateur life.
Drafting this point, I thought often been asked a question:
"Your father is not Mr. Hou Baolin in the end the apprentice?"
"Of course!" Remove helping his career did not say, from Hou's works of art thought to inherit, from the comic Hou send fresh, elegant style, follow the stage, as in 2049 from his father after the location of a new generation of comic actors nexus , and the comic genre from the heritage context of the north point of view, there is no doubt my father's heir to Mr. Hou.
Genius often need to be embodied through hard work, my father in his career is a hard-working talent. At that time I lived in West Side alley Ma, rap groups in stone alley, two less than a kilometer away, the road bike for a few minutes, but the father in the regiment, and Gao Chuangzuo rehearsal, only a few months back to visit often home, down a grandmother many complain. After several years of study and practice, his father laid a good foundation. Familiar with the traditional program, for that, science, funny, singing four basic skills of the master, for the analogy of other folk art forms of understanding, he in the same generation are second to none.
If the fifties as a watershed in the old and new comic, the new feature is the greatest comic works of creation. Father in control of the traditional performing skills, the bold will add these skills into his own creation. As far as I know, the father's debut should be called "playing basketball" cross-talk, using today's point of view, as a debut, "playing basketball" is also very successful. Subsequently in 1958 he wrote "Hero Little Eight", 2059's "looking for uncle," 2061's "climbing like a hero," 2063's "Portrait", 2064's "three to zero ", as one step, marking his path to success. The comic was broadcast through the radio became popular, famous, racing season has become a household name. At the same time, the father gradually established his own style, his comic irony and praise both advocated the creation of a song type of comic's aesthetic principles, the breakthrough for the cross talk contribution to the progress and development. Lao She in 1961 published in the "People's Daily" on the "health and laughter" had predicted: in him (father) wit, if we can constantly improve the ideological and cultural achievements are yet to know his limits .
If there is no "Cultural Revolution", China's history will be rewritten and the fate of many Chinese people would be different. But suppose history is absurd. "Cultural Revolution", after all, has changed the fate of his generation, my father is no exception. Marketplace in circulating a statement saying that my father in the "Cultural Revolution" is a rebel, I do not know from whom this argument, starting from the time, but it is one hundred percent false. "Cultural Revolution" began in 2066 when the units are _set_ up across the country, "Revolutionary Committee", is composed of the first leaders of various units. My father was the business elite, was appointed to the post of deputy director, he has not completely clear about this, "deputy director of the" control what, when, on the blowing wind against Liu Shaoqi reactionary line. It only appeared when the rap group the real rebel, like my father, like many incumbents, has become natural targets, known as the "counter-revolutionary revisionist elements", "white road special advocate" hat. But this criticism fairly large compared to later be "sweetness and light." My mother was at this time was introduced to my father. When the referrals brought to the racing season, when my mother, my mother obtained the impression that by listening to the radio asked: "Is not that old man do?"
Their first date is the critical father took his mother to see poster. Backstage at the time the location - Powder House, posters overwhelming for my mother left a deep impression. I always thought my father was very clear this mode, a wonderful romantic, a "true celebrities from the romantic" romantic.
I am married to the students from their father were spent in political campaigns in the. Mother holding that "large number" I returned to Beijing from Harbin, the father want the day off to the station to meet us, only to be approved by a half-day afternoon, back to his unit is still receiving "help." Many people think that the "Cultural Revolution" when the jet's political campaigns, the Assembly will not be used in this age of my father's generation who, at this point, the father may be an exception. In addition to his own special struggle sessions, he often "honored" to be "invited" to attend the meeting in someone else's criticism tied to accompany. He was often said that his first "special evening" is not in the Cultural Revolution after 1988.
My father visited a total of two cadre school, the first region in the Nen River in Heilongjiang province, after the first document by Lin Biao, withdraw customs, re-located in the Henan Huaiyang area. At that time the organs of the cadre school farms in that area, known as "the first big off the field." Crosstalk is the "four olds", not allowed to say, many go with him cadre of actors that the Bank can not do in this life no longer has. However, crosstalk can believe that one day his father returned to the stage. Returned to Beijing from Henan in 2073, he immediately began to continue his writing. At that time the environment can be imagined, where literary and artistic works must be "three prominent" principle. Father during the Cultural Revolution in the first work, "Friendship Song", written seven months after the change, barely passed the above review, but the radio is not broadcast, because broadcast during the Cultural Revolution has never been cross talk. A great chance, August First Film Studio film "May Day" documentary, in which the intake of seven minutes, "Friendship Song" clip, Yao Wen-yuan said in the review films only: to it. Put documentary, radio talent dare put on the radio recording. Three works of his father's "Friendship Song", "Mountain Eagle", "Swallow" is the only comic in the Cultural Revolution, is the only laugh that era, until today, I do not know to young people in there that the crosstalk is "Friendship Song" only after the.
With the "Gang of Four" in the fall, comic dialogue in the country _set_ off a climax, "the stage wind and thunder," "New Peach Blossom Spring", which are well known piece is the audience. 1977's state dinner in the Great Hall, tao old excitedly came up to me carrying his father at the table toasting glasses, repeatedly praise the "New Peach Blossom Spring": "Yeah racing season, is to write this comic. Good ! have the knowledge, fun! to, I wish you success! ... ... "TV into every family enjoys popular support for the image of public figures played a crucial role. And this time is what my father in his career to fully mature period. His excellent work since the eighties scene, the stage reached a pinnacle of performance is also getting into the environment. 2083 Spring Festival Party started particularly impressive, in 2085, he _select_ed the top ten comedians topped the list in 2088 to commemorate his life of thirty years and held the stage "racing season comic work will be performed" in the carried out nationwide tour, unprecedented. Nineties a dozen of his disciples held in Suzhou, "Xie Society" in literary and art circles for the elephants.
If oscillation is well wit
Two-thirds into the Muyuhuanhua
Burning candle strange Changyu rhino pen
Nu Wa Shi Lian Sky Science
This is the famous painter Van has inscribed a poem by my father. Thirty five years, the size of my father three hundred comic creation works, his disciples in Jiang Kun, Zhao Yan, Feng Gong, Liu, Andrew ... ... active in a variety of stage. He himself remained in constant innovation, his artistic career has not ends.
The meaning of public figures often are the characters of public concern and debate, the father of the stage the audience laughter, the life he has often encountered trouble. Every time he always travels by passersby out, after recognizing that "Chinese characteristics" of the onlookers. In fact, everyone is out of curiosity and love - this racing season in the end and not the same as on TV look? But who do not want these "good intentions" are concentrated in one person when his subject was enough. I came to Australia a few days ago, my father wanted to take me to the Xidan shopping for clothes, cars parked in the alley, he just left lane is not ten meters on the people around them, and things did not buy into, back in the car he said to me that was his first time in fifteen years to Xidan. Not to mention our family even more, as long as my father at home, will always crowded with people, from ten in the morning to midnight. Including friends, colleagues, his students, colleagues, know, do not know, what people have, there are many to Beijing to find her father from the field study of comic dialogue. Even the mouth of radio and television department of the armed police guard on duty all know our home address. Some people looking for a racing season, and immediately rush to our house, dinner, lunch is often a large table of people. Speaking of which, I think my mother was great, she is the record company's music editor, taking into account their own careers at the same time, had to help my father cooking inside and out. The other is the various rumors circulating in society today, reselling gold racing season, and smuggling of people to catch up tomorrow ... ... the beginning, the family really anxious, over time all flattering. Perhaps these are the celebrity price.
Many people have asked me: "Do you have cross talk with your dad doctrine?" I replied: "no." Indeed not. Parents would not let me into this small circle of progress, it simply did let me do this line of thought. But living in such families, monasteries, and the number of Shou Lexie edified. Feng Gong ago said to me: sooner or later you have to do this trip. Unfortunately, he will be concerned as well? Only God knows.
Chinese proverb says: parents, do not travel to distant lands. I am not a dutiful son, as the only child can not stay with her parents. Seven years ago I come to Australia alone, the eve of his departure, my father told me he was thirteen years old to go to Shanghai as the parting words the experience of apprenticeship. I understand his care and thought. I have nothing in Australia seven years, each thinking of this, the final sub-human feeling guilty.
Cold night will do, East Dawning. Regardless of whether the father had come to Australia trip, I believe I can see him soon. □ From Australia "Hualian Times"
