When it comes to Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, you will think of Shao Opera, and you will think of six-year-old children's Monkey King in the South of the Yangtze River. Just like when we talk about Journey to the West, we will think of the Monkey King, a six-year-old boy. People are too curious about this legendary "Monkey King Family". The truth sometimes becomes specious in familiar communication. When bidding farewell to a generation of Shao opera masters, let's restore history and explore the secrets of the "Monkey King Family".
Zhang is the youngest son in the family. His mother loves him very much and thinks acting is too hard. She has always disapproved of his studying drama. When Zhang was 6 years old, he was able to make his debut in Shanghai under the strong lobbying of his uncle's seven-year-old boy. His play is a natural overlord and his role is "Little Overlord".
According to his later recollection, he was extremely nervous before going on stage. "Adult said, you just have to pretend to be arrogant. So, when I got to the stage, I held my face, twisted my neck, raised my hand and lifted my feet. After the performance, I didn't know whether it was success or failure. Only my father smiled and picked me up. A printing factory worker gave me the stage name of a six-year-old boy on the spot. The next day, the words' six-year-old children' were printed on the performance manual. "
With the growing influence, the name "six-year-old children" began in Shanghai and eventually went to the whole country. According to Zhang's fourth son, "Lingtong" was a very common stage name at that time, just as women liked to use "Xiao" as a stage name.
The next generation often uses the word "Xiao" as their own name before the stage name of their parents. For example, a six-year-old boy who is famous for playing the Monkey King in The Journey to the West is the youngest son of a six-year-old boy. In front of the six-year-old boy, there is also a brother who plays Shao opera, named six-year-old boy, who was also very famous at that time. Six-year-olds have a total of 1 1 children, but only these two have inherited their father's mantle.
When we look back at history, we will always find some names that should not be forgotten. Because of nature, they are lost in the wind and smoke of history, which makes people exaggerated. This is the figure of a seven-year-old child.
The seven-year-old boy's real name is Zhang Zong Xin, the younger brother of the six-year-old boy, and the actor of Pig Bajie in the movie Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon.
In the book Sixty Years of Buddhist Journey dictated by a six-year-old boy, the six-year-old boy's admiration and attachment to his brother, who is three years older, is beyond words: "My brother has been very smart since he was a child. He always observes all kinds of interesting things in life and learns what he looks like. " "Brother" is the king of children. On the streets of old Shaoxing, he and his younger brother "Gao He" (the nickname of a six-year-old child) spent a happy and short childhood.
My brother is also the leader of six-year-old children on the road of drama. A six-year-old boy once recalled, "In those days, my seven-year-old brother appeared on the beach. With his heroic appearance and good voice, he won the title of' child prodigy old student' and hung a special card at the entrance of the theater ... My relatives kept bringing news about my brother, which really made my feet itch. I am clamoring to go to Shanghai, and I want to compete with my brother. "
The six-year-old boy's first stage was won by his brother from his father-he fell in love with the monkey show when he was a child, and he thought about it countless times, but he was afraid to go on stage for fear that the audience would not accept it. It was also his brother, a seven-year-old boy, who skillfully pushed him into the door of the monkey show.
Zhang Jinshan, the son of a six-year-old boy, recalled that his uncle's seven-year-old boy was an all-round talent who could write, edit, perform, be good at management, be humorous and versatile.
Seven-year-olds' performing arts are equally perfect. In Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, he plays Pig, a monkey king in the south and a live pig. Wang Chuncan, a retired cadre of Shaoxing Film Distribution and Projection Company, has been engaged in film research for many years. He recalled that the seven-year-old child was stupid and skillful in acting, and the image of "Pig Eight Rings" was unparalleled, which was also recognized by the industry.
However, this great genius has a lot of fate. During the Cultural Revolution, both brothers lost the election. 1967, a seven-year-old child who was only 47 years old died of illness. His son, seven-year-old children and seven-year-old children are all actors of Shao Troupe.
Zhang Jinshan's evaluation is that his father is single-minded, and his uncle's seven-year-old child who loves Wukong all his life is a versatile person.

According to Zhang Jinshan, who has been accompanying his father, his father is very busy and has many children. The elderly practice "inaction" in the management of children, and children learn drama entirely by interest.
When I was young, I came into contact with my father, which made my six-year-old child fall in love with acting. But when he first became an artist, he met the "Cultural Revolution".

This suggestion is of great help to the six-year-old children in successfully shaping the image of the Monkey King.
Nowadays, except for six-year-old children, none of their children and grandchildren have learned monkey play, which has become a lifelong regret for six-year-old children.
