Modern crosstalk actor Shen Xiaohan traveled through time and became a starving orphan "dog leftover". He survived in ancient times by relying on a broken gong and a sharp mouth. He changed the modern cross talk to "talking skills", used "starving ghost mouth" to beg for cooking cakes when lying on the street, amused the people with "Zhuge Liang Begging for Rice", and was even brought into the capital by the seventh prince for insinuating corrupt officials. In the Jinluan Palace, he was awarded the title of "Laughing Officer" for his "Joy of the Emperor and His Ministers". He used cross talk to satirize, check accounts, and even persuade the Beidi Khan to make peace. With "cross-border cross talk", he defeated the enemy and was awarded the title of "Marquis of Anguo". He opened the "Xiao'an Mansion" to gather comedians from all over the world, used cross talk to resolve disputes among beggars and expose the tricks of swindlers. He also used "Guankou" to expose corruption in the court, and used "hanging now" to break the crisis of false imperial edicts. When he was sent to the Western Regions as an envoy, he used multi-lingual cross talk as an interpreter; when Persian businessmen tried to cheat, he compiled contract law into an allegro; when Japanese pirates invaded, he used cross talk leaflets to dismantle the enemy.
In his later years, he wrote "Xiao Lin Guang Ji" to establish the theory of cross talk, and returned to his fields to open a teahouse to comment on government affairs. After the seventh prince ascended the throne, he used "The New Emperor's Joke" to persuade the government, and during natural disasters, he used "Disaster Relief Allegro" to rally people's hearts. Before his death, he passed on the mantle to his orphan disciples and left behind the "Three Smiles". After his death, comedians from all over the world sent each other off, and cross talk became the cultural gene of the Dasheng Dynasty. People said that "listening to Xiaohou's jokes is better than braised pork", and he achieved the legend of "the words can determine the country".
