When I visited Xun Lingxiang, the eldest son of Mr. Xun Huisheng, he was already the vice president of China Opera Academy. Xun Lingxiang's home is simple in furnishings and very kind to others. His figure and appearance are like Mr. Xun. Older people may remember that before liberation, he and his father performed a rehearsal on the same stage in Shanghai and became famous in one fell swoop.
Xun Lingxiang studied drama with his father at the age of nine, and worshipped Mr. Cheng as a teacher at the age of thirteen. He is the first disciple of Cheng Men. Later, he studied drama from Mr. Wang Yaoqing because his voice was not wet. After liberation, he went to the drama school to teach with Mr. Wang Yaoqing. In his teaching work for more than 30 years, he mainly taught Xunpai drama. Xun Lingxiang's eldest son, Xun Hao, is the head of the third troupe of China Peking Opera Theatre, and his daughter-in-law is the famous Wudan actor Li Li. Mr Xun's second son, Xun, was an old student. Because of his bad voice, he also engaged in opera education. Now he is the head of the music department of Beijing Opera School. I have been to Beijing Theatre Academy several times, but I have never seen him. 1982 summer, we met by chance. That was the forum where I wrote "Biography of Hao", and Xun, the secretary of President Hao, also came. Although he is nearly sixty years old, he looks young and has a good memory.
Xun, who is still active on the stage, is Mr. Xun's daughter. She studied martial arts from Wu Yulin and Zhao Dexun at home, Tsing Yi from Zhou Changtai, and later from her father. She began to take to the stage at the age of sixteen. During the ten-year turmoil, Xun was forced to change careers and work as a clerk in China Bookstore. 1979 returned to the stage and is now an actor of the second troupe of Beijing Peking Opera Theatre. She is modest and studious. Although she neglected her skills for more than ten years, after a period of hard work, she participated in today's female audition for the first time and achieved success. Xiao Jun, an old writer, wrote an article to encourage her. Then, she premiered Xun school plays such as "Matchmaker" and "Biography of Kanyu". Many people wrote poems praising her skills, and one of them wrote:
There are women who are good at singing, and Hua Dan in Tsing Yi is good at both.
After ten years of hard work, I once spread my wings and let it fly.
The crane's back dance steps frequently surprise guests, and the warbler's voice is lingering.
The most shy thing is to look back, vaguely leaving a small fragrance of that day.
"Liuxiang" is Mr. Xun's pet name. Comparing "Lai Ling" with "Liuxiang" is an encouragement and a kind of gratitude to the successors of Xun School.
Later, Xun Lailing resumed some Xunpai plays, and in addition to performing herself, she also tutored other Xunmen disciples and Xunpai art lovers to learn Xunpai plays. Xun and Jiangsu Huaiyin Peking Opera Troupe co-starred in "Exploring Jade", and she alternately played harmony, which was welcomed by the audience.
I checked for a long time! ! ! !
