in Baotu Spring Park in Ji'nan, such a class is active, the average age of the actors is over 60 years old, and the oldest is 82 years old. In the past 3 years, whenever the weather and the weather are hot, the theatrical troupe will perform on every Thursday, so that visitors and fans will enjoy it.
at 9:30 on February 1st, at 9:30 in the morning of the snow building in Baotu Spring, after the opening of a gongs and drums, a few dressed in costumes, the dressy old man swayed and moved slowly to the center of the stage. This is the classic of Henan opera, "the matchmaker". The highest temperature outside of the day is less than zero, but many fans bring their own cups of tea, early in the seat, and some visitors come, and the audience seats are full when they start.
it is understood that the performance team on the stage is from the Tianqiao District Cultural Bureau Art Troupe, although it is only an amateur performance team, but it is a rare folk opera troupe in Ji'nan. At present, there are 36 members of the art troupe. The average age of the group is over 60 years old. The oldest actor is 82 years old. These actors are all made up of Yu opera lovers who are retired. Speaking of the establishment of the art troupe, the old man Hao Xinhui recalled that at first he did not want to set up an art troupe. Only a few retired opera fans spontaneously gathered in the Baotu Spring park to learn and sing, and then the leaders of the Baotu Spring park found them, invited them to perform for everyone on the stage of the snow building, and did not expect the first performance. It was welcomed by everyone. With the improvement of the popularity of the performance, the participation of professional actors and the enrichment of performances, only today's "decent" Art Troupe. "It's been 3 years since the Baotu Spring Park was formally installed. For 3 years, I came here every Thursday morning to perform for you. Besides, every Monday and Wednesday afternoon, we have to go to the sports center of Tianqiao District to rehearse. No matter the wind and rain, it never breaks. The head of Hao said.
however, at the beginning of the founding of the troupe, it was not smooth sailing. Because their performance is completely public welfare, without paying a penny, the actors' clothes, instruments, sound and transportation costs are all required by the members of the group, which makes it difficult for the retired old people of the ordinary working class to commit. The owner of a stereo company heard about this special art troupe and gave away the audio equipment worth ten thousand yuan to the elderly. He said: "not for anything else, just because of the old people's old age, the spirit of selfless dedication moved." The problem of sound was solved, and the old people began to sew costume again. Now these exquisite costumes on the stage are produced by themselves. Many retired people who had worked in the literary troupe and the troupe also contributed their family's musical instruments to the troupe. Only in this way can the art troupe get the current situation. "A few days ago, we had an old actor here in.Quot, the spring.Quot in pear orchard, and a national bronze medal in the race, which was not only the pride of our art group, but also the pride of Ji'nan." The head of Hao said proudly.
for so many years, the art troupe not only didn't make money, and sometimes had to pay for money. What made the old man stick to it? On this topic, a crowd of old actors expressed the same voice that the enthusiasm of the audience and the amateur was supporting them to the present. "There is an iron granny song grandmother, 86 years old this year, suffering from the proliferation of lumbar vertebrae, home and living far, the old grandmother himself on a camel with abduction to take three trains to get to this. But every Thursday morning, you can see her sitting on the stage on time, and sometimes we will send water to the actors in the background. The "fans" of the art troupe, in addition to the old people and many children, has become a "little friend" under the influence of grandparents, and sometimes foreigners are here to listen to the play and watch the play. "Just for the sake of these fanciers, and for their love for Chinese traditional culture, we must also sing. No matter how bad the weather is, we must insist on the performance!
"from the beginning of the third year to now, almost every day there are performances and rehearsals. Recently, the new Lantern Festival will be arranged for the Lantern Festival. You can see it at that time. The interview ended, and the cold winter sun shone brightly and brightly on the four big words written by Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi, "Le Xiao Xiao Shao".
