For more than 10 years, the Yanshi District Henan Opera Troupe has had 10 plays on the CCTV drama channel. This is not commonly seen in county-level Yu Opera troupes. Waving his hat and wings, waving his pigtail, moving his beard, playing with fans, rolling his sleeves... The singing was heard, and the applause and cheers were endless. This was the performance scene in Taoquan Township, Cixian County, Handan, Hebei Province. On the stage, the Henan Opera Troupe in Yanshi District, Luoyang, Henan Province, is performing the Henan Opera "Seven Grades Sesame Official". This year, Luoyang Yanshi District Henan Opera Troupe ushered in a peak performance period. Starting from New Year's Day, there are an average of 35 performances per month, with a maximum of 3 performances per day. "Fake Son Riding the Dragon", "Cheng Ying Saving the Orphan", "Tang Supervisor of the County Food" and other plays are particularly popular. Every time they perform, old fans call on a clown to see a play. This clown is Wang Yihong, honorary head of Luoyang Yanshi District Henan Opera Troupe. "I came to see Wang Yihong, the clown he played is very interesting" In Henan, there are Henan Opera Theaters in the province, and many Prefecture-level city also have Henan Opera troupes. Where are the audience and market of county-level Yu Opera troupes? From "Fake Son Riding the Dragon", "Picking up Son in Law", "Seven Grade Sesame Officer" to "Shanniu", "Three Willings" and "Tang Supervisor of the County Releasing Grain", over the past 10 years, the Yanshi District Yu Opera Troupe has successively published 10 plays on the CCTV drama channel. This is not commonly seen in county-level Yu Opera troupes. This is closely related to the national first-class actor Wang Yihong. Wang Yihong specializes in the art of the Niu (De Cao) school in Henan opera. He played the young master Xu Ziyuan in "Doing Articles" and the 80 year old man Jiang Laohu in "Picking up Son-in-law", which is just right and full of wit, and is very popular among the local people. I came to see the play with Wang Yihong in mind. His clown role is very tasteful! "The audience said. Little known is that Wang Yihong, who became famous as a clown, changed her profession halfway. In April 1968, the Yanshi Yu Opera Troupe decided to recruit a group of students. In just two days, thousands of people signed up. Through layer upon layer screening, less than 20 people were admitted, including Wang Yihong. Lowering the waist, pressing the legs, kicking the legs, and running around the court... For beginners, practicing martial arts is tedious and tiring. After a period of time, some children cannot endure hardship and will not come back after returning home. Wang Yihong gritted her teeth and persevered, practicing hard every day to develop her martial arts skills. Yang Zongbao in Mu Guiying Down the Mountain, Xue Dingshan in Three Invitations to Fan Lihua, and Hu Jin, the magistrate in Fake Son Riding the Dragon... In 1985, Wang Yihong not only began to play the leading role, but also served as the business director of Yanshi Yu Opera Troupe. In 1987, he was honored to join the CPC and served as the deputy head of the business in the same year. Wang Yihong is not satisfied. At that time, the character I played had a good effect, but it was difficult to win the applause of the audience. And I played the role of magistrate Hu Jin in "Fake Son-in-law Riding the Dragon" with ugly behavior, and the applause continued throughout the scene. The idea of learning to play ugly behavior stirred up in his heart. It would be better to learn clowns well and bring more joy to the audience! "Soon, Wang Yihong made up her mind to learn how to perform clowns. In the late 1970s, the theatrical film "Seven-level Sesame Officials" directed by Xie Tian and starring Yu Opera performing artist Niu Decao caused a sensation throughout the country. The film won the fourth Hundred Flowers Award Award
