/kloc-when I was 0/2 years old, I should have gone to school, but because of an accident. Because she was too young, her family thought of her aunt. In 1354, Zhang, a storyteller from northern Shaanxi, started her academic career with her aunt. Walking around the streets with the troupe, doing odd jobs, announcing the curtain and telling stories, she has grown step by step for more than ten years.
Ma Meiru said that learning art is very hard. I can't imagine how difficult it would be if I didn't do this. The storytelling performance in northern Shaanxi is not diversified. This industry was looked down upon by many people in the past. In northern Shaanxi, storytellers will be invited to attend every temple fair, ancestor worship, birthday celebration, full moon or festival. Her artistic career began with the most basic rural weddings and funerals.
Ma Meiru said that since she made small achievements, her life has changed substantially. In the past, even if you ate a pack of instant noodles, you had to think for a long time. Now she has at least solved her own food and clothing problem. At the same time, after earning a certain income, she also devoted her energy to creation. She can't just cover other people's songs, but also concentrate on artistic innovation.
Ma Ru took the advice of her fans and felt that she should have a song of her own. She asked the teacher to cooperate and made several songs. The first song "Beauty is Waiting for You" is written for all fans who support beauty, because without their support and attention, she would not be today, so the first song must be sung to them.

Ma Ru sighed and said that in the beginning, storytellers usually tied their hands and played sanxian on their legs. There are also storytellers who beat gongs and boards, and another person who pulls strings brings out the best in each other.
Nowadays, storytelling is no longer the specialty of the blind, and some young people have joined in. They formed a team of three or five people, men and women, singing and chatting, accompanied by modern instrumental music, walking from village to village.
They can often be seen in large temple fairs in northern Shaanxi. When the lantern was just lit, the villagers gathered around the storyteller on the third floor.
Just then, the wake-up bell rang, the lyre struck, the drum struck, the dialect began, and the lyrics were recited. Suddenly, the audience at home and abroad was silent. Because of the uncertainty of the performance environment, they often sleep in the wind and live a life with good food but no bad food.
Maru has been running around since 16. Because of the particularity of the industry, it is almost late at night after each performance. Where she lives, she usually sets up her own tent on the performance stage, so the safety is not guaranteed. Once, in the process of chasing, there was an accident on the road.
The driver made a mistake, the van rolled over, four or five prop boxes were pressed on her, many bruises and broken ribs. After going to the hospital for simple treatment, she had to endure the pain and have an operation.
