Old things in the south

Chapter 25
Listening to Ye Furun's performance in Fuxing opera school, someone told me that there was no one in Fulian's Chengke class who had such achievements at such a young age as Ye Furun.It is said that Ye Furun is only fourteen years old, but whether it is singing or acting, he has surpassed the achievements of ordinary "children's dramatists".But in that group of children, he looked particularly thin and small.Although it is true that the appearance of singing old students has to be "thin" to be tasteful, but it is unhealthy for a developing child after all.Do the theater school authorities pay attention to the health of every developing child?
This reminds me of the time when my family lived on Hufangqiao Street.

Hufangqiao Street is an important street in Nancheng, especially in Beijing before the capital was moved to Nanjing, it was the only way to many prosperous areas.I was lucky enough to live on this street for several years when I was young, and it was also the busiest time for my family.There are primary schools, guild halls, barbershops, pharmacies, coffin shops, printing houses, and a Fuliancheng class that has produced countless Pingju talents on this street.

Fu Liancheng is only in a gate a few steps to the west opposite my house.Every day before and after dinner, they would go to Guanghe Building outside the front door to sing an opera.The children sitting in the department line up according to their height, and the leader is the tallest elder brother. He is a colorful singer with a moon gate shaved on his head.In summer, they all wear moon-white bamboo cloth gowns. They are old and fat, and their sleeves are about half a foot longer than their hands.Even with a black mandarin jacket in the cold weather, he is still fat and fat, and his sleeves are more than half a foot longer than his hands!
They walked east a few steps out of the gate, and they were supposed to cross the road, and they passed right in front of my house.It seems that each of them is dull, dull, and numb. Who would have thought that they would be able to play such flexible, beautiful, and brave roles on stage!
At that time, Fu Liancheng performed in Guanghe Building, which was a theater where women were not allowed to enter. At that time, the area where I listened to the opera with adults was Chengnan Amusement Garden, or Kaiming Theater, the first stage.I had an impression of Fu Liancheng very early, and I really saw the relationship between them passing by my house every day.Later, when Fu Lian became popular among male and female students in Peking, I couldn't help thinking that Li Shengzao was among the group of poor children I saw when I was young.Is it Liu Shenglian?Yang Shengchun?

Fu Liancheng is famous for being strict, but after the emergence of the opera school with the new school system, although Fu Liancheng is still famous for the old-style education, he has to improve in some places.After the opera school used big buses to pick up students to the theater, Fu Liancheng's queuing and walking was no longer seen.Otherwise, wouldn't student theater fans follow their teams to the theater every day?
And we also moved away from Hufang Bridge at that time, Chengnan Amusement Park became a slaughterhouse, and the area where we listened to operas was also transferred to Halfei, Jixiang, Chang'an and Xinxin theaters.
