Since then, he has settled here. In the same year, he served as the head of Anyang People's Henan Opera Troupe. 65438-0956 Head of Anyang Henan Opera Troupe.

Qin Xianglian, Peach Blossom Temple, Miao Lang and Three Upper Corners, which she starred in, are called the four tragedies of Cui School and are outstanding representatives of Western Henan School. 1930 In the spring, there was a great famine in Cao Zhou. At the age of 4, Cui Lantian, together with his mother and sister, embarked on a painful road of begging for survival and moved to Shaanxi, Lu Yu. 1934 In the spring, he lived as a refugee in Yi Xi Street and Taikang Road, and later in a poor compound in Ling Du Street. In order to support the family, my father rushed between Henan and Shandong to sell nitrate, my mother went to the rich family to help at dawn, and Lantian took care of his younger brothers and sisters from morning till night, which provoked the burden of this refugee home. Near Cui Lantian's home, there are several poor citizens who make a living by selling cigarettes, camellia oleifera, vegetables and collecting waste products. Every family has its own problems, crying all day. When Cui Lantian went to the prison to visit his father who was arrested for being accused of possessing cigarettes, he met a little girl from a neighbor's house, and she also visited him. The prison guard scolded him and refused to cry. He went home to cry for fear that his mother would be sad. Together, they went to the suburbs to cry, complain and curse the injustice in the world until their hearts broke.
Cui Lantian, there are tears. Cui Lantian, who is famous for her tragic performance, has successfully created a unique female tragic image in her four classic tragedies, Three Feet, Qin Xianglian, Peach Blossom Temple and Selling a Temple Lang. The master's initial enlightenment and artistic creativity were tears and weeping in poor paintings. The cries of those poor women and the expressions when they were beaten were deeply imprinted in her mind. Whenever she creates tragic characters on the stage, those tragic characters in real life naturally emerge in front of her eyes, and all kinds of cries ring in her ears. In the autumn of 1937, the Cui Lantian family fled their hometown of Cao Zhou and lived as refugees in Zhengzhou for more than four years. Although his father kept going back and forth between Henan and Shandong to sell nitrate, and his mother went out early to do housework for the rich, it was still difficult to maintain the livelihood of the family. When he was young, Cui Lantian had to beg for some food to satisfy his sister and brother. On one occasion, Cui Lantian walked into a yard with the door left unlocked, and saw many boys and girls about her age, all reaching out and taking two warm black buns from a man who looked like a chef. Later, someone told her that those children were all students of the troupe. Learning drama can also attract steamed stuffed buns to eat, without being looked down upon or abused. When he got home, Lantian said to his father, "Let's learn opera. It's better to send a bun and bring it back to my brother and sister, and don't beg. " "Begging is difficult again. I can't be an athlete. After doing that, I can't go to the old grave for three lives. " Father's words are firm and unquestionable. If she was satisfied with this, or listened to her father's instructions, there might not be a generation of masters on the stage of Henan Opera. Lantian is persistent and earnest, which is a very important aspect of her personal character and artistic style. The window has been opened, and she will try her best to see more clearly, so her figure often appears in front of the theater. In order to get into the theater with the noise of gongs and drums earlier, she helped the old lady selling peanuts at the door peel peanuts for half a day, bought a 10-cent standing ticket to watch the halftime play, or helped the uncle who was at the door to clean up the cigarette butts in front of the garden, so that she could get into the theater earlier.
Neighbors all know that she is a "little opera fan". When her parents scold her, they always forgive her a few words, and sometimes they let her learn from the characters in the play. At this time, Cui Lantian sang Ying Sheng's operas, and all the strokes were Wu Sheng's movements, because her favorite part in the garden was Ying Sheng's aria and Wu Sheng's fist, and she felt strong. Years of vagrancy and begging and the heavy burden of living in refugee families have injected many boys' masculinity into Lantian's character. 1938 In late spring and early summer, Cui Lantian, together with more than 40 boys and girls, was admitted to Class B of Zhou Haishui, a famous school in western Henan, and took the first step in her career as an artist. Zhou Haishui is known as the "Master of Henan Opera". While acting, he devoted himself to organizing classes and recruiting students for talents. The last B class hosted by Cui Lantian coincided with eventful times. This class is the most difficult, but it is also the most talented. Cui Lantian was admitted to Class B together with another girl who looked like a talking girl, wearing blue coarse cloth and with watery phoenix eyes. She is Mao, who once boarded the stage of Henan Opera with her, and later served as the head and director of Dapeng Henan Opera Troupe of Taiwan Air Force. In order to maintain the expenses of the drama club and troupe, Zhou Haishui was busy performing. He is very strict in his studies. The students got up early in the morning, practiced hanging their voices, and were scolded for their carelessness. Lantian is the most bitter among the students, and she is exhausted from practicing every day. However, although it is difficult for sorghum or yellow steamed bread to fill muscles and intestines, it is still necessary to save one and a half pieces in his arms and trot home, begging for something to eat along the way as life-saving food for his mother and siblings.
Because Cui Lantian works hard, looks good, has a loud voice, and dares to sing, after entering the regular class for more than a month, Lantian was allowed to play a role in the pre-play, when Zhou Haishui performed in Zhengzhou "Changfa Theater". Zhou Haishui personally rehearsed for her, and the first rehearsal was Han Qi's Kill the Temple. At that time, Zhou Haishui's voice was broken, and some plays had to be sung in the voice of "stealing oil", which sounded very interesting. Once, Lantian learned to sing "Shen exchanges tears on the rostrum, my …". After stepping down, Zhou Haishui was furious: You can't learn drama like this. He sings like this because he has no voice. You just don't work hard when you sing like this. This incident had a great influence on Lantian's artistic career. Originally, the same drama can be sung in different ways due to its own conditions. The urgent premise is to pronounce words clearly and sing lasting appeal. Illiteracy is like killing someone with a blunt knife. Lantian seems to have learned a lot, and started her hard pursuit of art. In order to make ends meet, Cui Lantian and her sisters in Class B of Taiyi kept running around Gongxian, Xingyang and Surabaya, catching up with temple fairs and running between villages and towns, and gradually gained some fame. On one occasion, Mr. Kong, a handsome man who used to do coal business in Kaifeng, went back to his hometown of Surabaya to watch the performance of this small class, which was very appreciated. On the spot, he wrote the names of Mao, Dong, Deng 18 sisters on a gold frame and hung them on the side of the podium. The "eighteen orchids" with different legends in Henan opera circle came from this. 1April, 942, after five years of study, Cui Lantian began to perform in Luoyang. This class used to be a great actress, but she didn't have a famous actress, so she completely changed to singing Tsing Yi. Zhang Guanqing, a 60-year-old Hua Dan actor, was a Kung Fu Tsing Yi actor in his early years. He helped Lantian and often played tragedies such as Qin Xianglian and Taohua Temple. Lantian often went to see Chen Suzhen, who was already very famous at that time, and humbly asked him for advice. In addition, whenever he plays the tragic female role, those profound experiences of women's life pain will come to mind. Qin Xianglian, who is also miserable, is unique in performance. The lasting appeal of crying is full, thus laying a strong tone of western Henan in singing and basically forming her artistic style. Cui Lantian became famous, upright, stubborn and upright, and refused to participate in any non-performance communication and entertainment, so she suffered a lot of persecution. Garrison headquarters sometimes forced her to engage in so-called fund-raising benefit performances with the troupe, and sometimes threatened to arrest her for being suspected of being a producer. At this time, it happened that Xi An Yusheng Drama Club invited her to lead the leading role, so she left for Xi 'an in a hurry at midnight in the winter of 1944.
Although Xi 'an was called the rear area, it was also interfered by the Kuomintang army and the Green Red Gang. During Cui Lantian's performance in Shanshan Theater and Xinmin Theater, there were many incidents of smashing the venue and throwing grenades at the stage, causing death and injury to the actors. Under extremely difficult circumstances, Cui Lantian persisted in pursuing art. She took advantage of the gathering of famous artists from all walks of life in Xi 'an to learn from others and draw the essence from Peking Opera, Shaanxi Opera and other performing arts. Her performance was highly praised by audiences in Xi, Baoji, Tianshui, Lingbao and Shaanxi. Before and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, she became a famous actress on the stage of Henan Opera in northwest China, forming the first peak of her artistic achievements. After Xi's liberation, Cui Lantian established the Blu-ray Drama Club in the name of her husband, which was composed of Blue Word Club and Light Color Club. 195 1 On the eve of Labor Day, Henan Theatre invited Lantian to perform in Zhengzhou, and then he was invited to perform in Kaifeng, Xinxiang and Anyang. In Anyang's performance for a month in a row, it still failed to meet the audience's requirements. At that time, Anyang did not have its own Henan Opera performance group. Director Chen of the municipal government office has mobilized and persuaded many times, hoping that Lantian and the drama club can stay in Anyang. After many considerations, Lantian was finally moved by the enthusiasm of Anyang people, and led a delegation to Anyang at the end of that year to change the drama club into the people's drama club. Tian Han didn't forget his promise to adapt "Fireworks" for Cui Lantian. During his visit to North Korea on the eve of the Cultural Revolution, the script was finalized. When Cui Lantian got the script, Tian Han was trapped in the literary inquisition of Lin Biao and Jiang Qing in Luo Zhi. Honest and frank Lantian thought of Tian Lao's hard work for this script and resolutely put it into rehearsal. However, after only a few performances, Lantian was classified as a "dark figure" and lost his personal freedom. The persecution of Lantian has intensified, and the charges add up to "playing bully" and "spy". In the bloody torture of Nazi concentration camps, Lantian was severely physically destroyed and then mentally tortured 10 years. On April 5th, 1976, there was a wreath in memory of Premier Zhou at Hongqi Square in Anyang. At midnight that day, Cui Lantian couldn't hold back his grief and indignation. Despite the danger of being investigated by the police, he wept bitterly and presented a white flower to the portrait of the Prime Minister.
History has finally turned a heavy page. From 65438 to 0978, Lantian was re-appointed as the head of the first group of Henan Opera in the city, and he was the first silent stage in the province, exposing the evils of the Gang of Four. 1979, she once again became the principal of Anyang Drama School and attended the Fourth National Literature Congress. On June 10 of the same year, her starring "Flower Gun" won the National Day Gift Award in Zhengzhou, and at the end of the year, she was invited as the artistic consultant of Cui's famous drama "Bao Qingtian" co-produced by Hong Kong Golden Horse Film Company and Henan Performance Company. /kloc-at the beginning of 0/980, he participated in the school show of Henan Opera and starred in the famous drama Peach Blossom Temple adapted by Cui Pai. In May this year, she was elected as the assistant director of China's drama, 198 1 served as the vice chairman of Henan Dramatists Association ... From a poor girl to a generation of masters, Cui Lantian has gone through a long life full of hardships and brilliant memories, and she is still walking.
