[Era + Political Movement + County Theater Troupe + Line Struggle + Life Choice + ] A theater, half a lifetime. The rise and fall of a theater reflects the fate of a generation and the turmoil of the entire era.
My name is Gan Niuzi, I was born in a small county in Northeast China, and I am the eldest son of my family. When I was 9 years old, it was time to go to school, but I couldn't afford the tuition. My neighbor Yang Chenglin is the leader of a county theater troupe. Yang Chenglin's wife gave my mother the idea to let me join a theater troupe to learn singing. In this way, I passed the interview, became a temporary student, entered the theater troupe's small class, and got the stage name Rufu. My master's name is Yu Sanli.
The troupe's office is an old theater with a history of three hundred years near my home, which is also a cultural landmark of the county. From then on, my artistic dream and creative career started from here.
After two years of studying in the small science class, I gradually understood that the theater troupe is also a complex world: some members come from the old team of the Cui family theater troupe before liberation. These people have profound skills, high professionalism, and focus on pursuing the beauty of art; another group of members have collectively transferred from the military district art troupe, and they all have revolutionary experience and have a firm class stance, but their performance skills are not that good; the new force is a dozen students from the small science class, who will make huge waves in the future.
As the political movement continues to deepen, theater troupes as cultural units are naturally the first to bear the brunt. As a result, various forces took turns to appear. County Cultural Bureau Director He Zhan'ao, group leader Yang Chenglin, secretary Jiang Zhaomin, office director Shen Jiuli, director Zhang Huairen, leading actresses Lin Bingxia and Xu Chen, leading actor Wang Hailin, my master and my wife, as well as the old-school and new-school artists behind them, as well as the latest rising young stars, all showed their talents and staged thrilling dramas in this old theater.
I am an inconspicuous little character. Because I am low-key and honest, I have become the target of various forces. I have been involved in the situation involuntarily, either actively or passively. Sometimes I let things take their own course, and sometimes I assess the situation. I have to protect my conscience and myself. Until I witnessed with my own eyes that the elites among those who had beautiful hearts and lotus mouths were lost in the torrent of the times one by one. In the end, I will not be washed up on the beach by the trend of the times and exposed to the sun. Instead, I will hold on to hope and continue to persevere...
Reader comments
From a poor boy who couldn't afford tuition, Busty Niuzi accidentally stumbled into a theater troupe and became "Rufu". He struggled to survive in the three-way game between the old team, military representatives and new students. This was not learning drama at all, it was clearly a thrilling "workplace survival story"! Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, but it also depends on confidence. In the torrent of the times and the complex rivers and lakes, those who seem to be glamorous and talkative may not have the last laugh. Instead, it is the "little characters" like the protagonist who are low-key and honest, hold on to hope and persist, who can weather the storm and hold on to the stage in their hearts. After all, after the tide recedes, only true ability and good character will be the eternal "corner".
