The life of the character

When he performed "Song of Eternal Sorrow" in Shanghai, he was still watching the opera. He liked it very much and gave him advice. He benefited a lot and decided to learn from business. In order to surpass Niu Chunlai, a martial artist in Red Horn at that time, he specially gave his stage name Gai Chunlai. In 1930s, he performed on the same stage with Ma, Liu, and others, and his skills became more and more sophisticated. He is both civil and military and good at bunting. The repertoires of War Horse Chao, Deng, Leopard, Shop Er, Baishuitan and Hua are also unique. Singing is famous for its crisp, loud, vigorous and straight; Performance is good at "stability, accuracy and rush". For example, "The Leopard" (decorated with the leopard) has a neat walk and a tepid imitation of the leopard's body movements, which is appropriate and accurate. The three coherent movements of "sitting on the mountain", "throwing fork" and "going down high" in the last scene are distinct and agile. After the leopard laughed three times, it rose high from a beautiful cloud on three tables, like a nail nailed on the stage, motionless and dashing, and the audience gave it the reputation of "living leopard".

In the late 1930s, he taught in Fulian City, Beijing. After 1945, he performed in major cities in Northeast China, and then joined the 14th Regiment of Liao Yaoxiang Corps of Shenyang Kuomintang, where he was a Peking Opera actor with the rank of lieutenant. 1948, Liao Yaoxiang Corps was completely annihilated in Liaoshen Campaign, and he came to Heilongjiang to join the state-run Chinese Opera Troupe. 1950 transferred to Heilongjiang Opera School (in Qiqihar) as the principal, and joined China in the same year.

He played Ma Chao in "War Horse Super", and cooperated with zhang defa (Zhang Fei) of Shanghai School, with tacit understanding, showing their magical powers. One of them started with a set of small eight cannons, with clear roads and fast pace.
