Is Dan Tianfang a man or a woman?

"Where there is a well, listen to Dan Tianfang". Dan Tianfang is a very representative contemporary master of Quyi in China. At the end of last century, "Dan Tianfang storytelling" even became a fashionable cultural symbol. The book "Listening to the Next Story: Biography of Dan Tianfang" vividly interprets the legendary life of the contemporary "storytelling king" and deduces the 50-year artistic life and 70-year life wisdom of storytelling masters.

Dan Tianfang came into this world covered with heavy snow. Mother Wang is the top master of Xihe drum, and father Shan Yongkui is Wang's string master. The couple walked all the way. Especially after the "Crossing the Kanto", the three northeastern provinces became their parents. When I was a child, Dan Tianfang always followed his parents between Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin.

1939, Wang, Shan Yongkui came to Qiqihar. At that time, Dan Tianfang had just turned five and needed someone to take care of him. Wang's two apprentices, Yuemei and Xiaomei, naturally became free nannies. Isn't it just to look after a hairy child of a few years old? As a result, the girls were wrong. This five-year-old circle (Dan Tianfang's real name) is actually a super naughty boy.

Daquanzi always likes to play in the pond outside his house, and his parents ordered Ermei to take strict care of it. One day, Daquan drugged the water of Er Li Zi, and two "family gendarmes" fell asleep. He tied two senior sisters' braided hair tightly with a red velvet rope, then locked the door and ran happily to the big pond ... It is enough to think of two junior sisters. He crept under the window and peeped in. The little sister who was drugged with sleeping pills was weak and fast asleep, and saliva ran down her cheeks. Dan Tianfang suddenly screamed and shouted, "No! Daquan fell into the water, please help ... "Li Shu Huo Ran woke up and hurried out. Unexpectedly, their braids have been entangled and torn for a long time before they parted. Then, with long hair, they rushed to the big pond outside the door ... Finally, they didn't even catch a soul and squatted in the grass in despair. What about Dan Tianfang? Hiding in the dark, haha laughed. "Erlizi" turned around and her nose was crooked. This is not like a five-year-old child, it is simply a "child prodigy"!

In the years of growing up, Dan Tianfang witnessed aggression and war, and also saw the "hell on earth" of life and death. Later, he told stories that he was either a knight in the Jianghu or a rogue in the forest. No matter what the name is, whenever it comes to the topic of war, Dan Tianfang always thinks of people. He sighed with infinite regret: "There is going to be a war again, and the people have fallen into the blood mold-whoever recruits who provokes who!" The "people-oriented consciousness" in this storytelling art is completely born out of my own personal experience.

After the founding of New China, the sunny days began in Shanjia, but sudden troubles came uninvited. 1950 in the early spring, Dan Tianfang still remembers the banquet. Attending the wedding at home were Quyi actor Tong Haoru and his friend Wang. At that time, Shan Yongkui only knew that this strange guest was a "friend of a friend" and did not know his specific identity. It is said that this person has just come from Tianjin and wants to sell bacon and shochu handed down by Wang Jiazu in Shenyang North Market. Shan Yongkui is naturally full of promises and does whatever he wants. There was nothing wrong with helping a friend. However, it is this little thing that has pushed the beautiful family to an endless sea of suffering.

One night in early spring, the street police station inexplicably took away his mother Wang and sat with his father all night. At noon the next day, Shan Yongkui was also taken away for questioning. Three months later, my mother came home and asked anxiously, "Quanzi, why are you alone?" Where's your dad? ""the next day, dad will pick you up. He hasn't been home for more than four months. You are ... not together. "

A whole year and three months. Suddenly, Shanjia received a letter from Shan Yongkui. Tong Ronggong (alias Wang) was sentenced to six years in prison for helping the "counter-revolutionary" criminal, and was detained in Beijing, knowing nothing about what Wang did.

Don't be helpless on campus. A book is very popular in Anshan.

Soon, her mother remarried, and Dan Tianfang had no way to intervene. When he graduated from Shenyang No.27 Middle School with honors, the door of Northeast University of Technology, a famous university, opened to him. However, before the stool fever in Northeast University of Technology, Dan Tianfang was forced to drop out of school due to illness. Moreover, as the eldest son, his family was poor, and he gave up going to college for a better life for the whole family, old and young.

Just as he stood at the crossroads of life in confusion, a young woman appeared. This older girl is Wang Quangui, his later wife. When it comes to his marriage, Dan Tianfang is not shy. He once said frankly in public: "I don't hit it off with Quangui, and it's ok to get married. I accept her, in a word, just to repay her kindness. "

As far as his legacy is concerned, Wang Quangui should be called Wang's "aunt". Long before his mother Wang remarried, they were close. Later, Wang left, and the life of a single family became more and more difficult. Wang Quangui extended a helping hand to single-parent families. Wang Quangui has a good brain and high understanding. She admires educated "scholars" and only seeks advice from Dan Tianfang at home while taking care of her single family life. If we say that the "mutation" of the single family gave Wang Quangui an opportunity to get close to Dan Tianfang, the other half that brought them together was Quyi.

1 95410 June1day, Dan Tianfang and Wang Quangui were formally married in Yingkou. That year, the groom was just nineteen years old. After marriage, Dan Tianfang has been doing nothing. Just as he was fidgeting, the guide of storytelling appeared, and he was the master-Li Qinghai. Li Qinghai is an old-timer in the field of Quyi and enjoys a long-standing reputation in Kanto. He admired Dan Tianfang from the bottom of his heart. 1954, Dan Tianfang officially went to sea. From 65438 to 0955, the performing groups of Dan Tianfang and Wang Quangui moved to Anshan.

1956 On the third day of the first month, Dan Tianfang appeared in Anshan Teahouse with his masterpiece Ming Yinglie. Many years have passed, and the performance is still fresh in my mind. Now that I think about it, he keeps sighing: "This crucial step is really difficult to walk!"

In the eyes of the audience, the young actors on the stage are all in their prime, with heavy eyebrows and modest smiles on their lips. People commented noisily. Dan Tianfang bowed deeply and cleared his throat. Then, he skillfully picked up the gavel, patted it and officially opened the book. Ming Yinglie, who has long been well known, is like a flood that burst its banks. After breathing for two hours, he finally said, "If you want to know what will happen, listen to the next chapter." Then, bow down. Dan Tianfang finished the curtain call, and the cotton-padded clothes inside were all wet. Since then, Dan Tianfang's heart has become more and more steadfast, and his books have become more and more "oily". The whole Anshan City has spread: "Have you heard? Recently, a new person came, called Dan Tianfang! "

In order to experience it personally, Dan Tianfang chose The Story of Tonglin, which was rarely touched in Anshan. With the help of brother Yang Tianrong, Dan Tianfang is a bit thorough, and he can touch other people's book covers and speak seamlessly, so that experts will never feel like "copying and modifying". Tonglin Biography is popular in Anshan City. Dan Tianfang, 265,438+0 years old, has been firmly rooted in Anshan, an important town of folk art. ...

People are often bruised by blue eyes and red eyes.

1966, the "Cultural Revolution" began slowly, but Dan Tianfang of Anshan Quyi Troupe naturally escaped and became the target of public criticism.

"You said behind your back that if you earn less money now, you might as well go it alone ..."

"You imply that the new China is better than the old society ..."

"You cry foul for counter-revolutionary Lao tze, spreading dissatisfaction with the government everywhere ..."

What's the use of excuses? Dan Tianfang vomited for a long time, but he was still given a big hat: "Bad attitude, opposition to the movement, deliberately opposing the revolutionary masses ..."

Dozens of people were put into a shelter together, just like walking into the "bottomless pit" in the journey to the west, with no way home and no future. Dan Tianfang's heart was crying for help silently, but the "rebels" didn't give him enough room to think. After midnight, there was a sudden shout, and all the "counter-revolutionary" prisoners were shouted out. When a big truck arrived, people crowded into the narrow carriage and staggered into the boundless night.

The car stopped, the door was wide open, and Dan Tianfang jumped first. As a result of squatting for a long time, my legs have long been numb. As soon as my toes fell, my whole body collapsed and I couldn't get up. At this time, a "rebel" can't be blamed. It's a kick in the face, not biased or inclined, but a kick in the mouth. Suddenly, Dan Tianfang's eyes were black, and his head was humming, and all his protruding teeth were knocked out. Dare not make any noise, more dare not make any noise, he was covered in fresh fishy smell, boiling pus and blood, and he survived. A rotten tooth followed Dan Tianfang for several years, and finally I had to go to the dentist, have them all pulled out and put on full dentures. At that time, he had just turned 30.

Inside the high wall, Dan Tianfang was distressed when she thought of her sick wife. She didn't know how she would live with a pair of young children. More than ten days after the incident, the girl Wang Quangui appeared in Anshan shelter. When relatives meet, it seems like a lifetime ago. A family of four looked at each other, but no one spoke, so they had to make eye contact. ...

The unlucky children in the "Cultural Revolution" era were collectively called "ghosts". Dan Tianfang's "ghostly" dictatorship of the proletariat is nothing to be polite about. The strategy of the "rebel" is to rally and pursue hard.

The first set of plans: 10,000 artillery strikes.

The process of exposure and criticism is simply a storm, which is imposed on others. Hiding arms, shielding bad guys, throwing grenades, persecuting "revolutionary teenagers" ... and so on. Dan Tianfang didn't show weakness. Kouga clenched his iron mouth: "Grenade, you can't throw it; Revolutionary boy, it didn't blow up! Anyway, everything that needs to be explained has been explained. If you don't believe me, just go to the Workers' Night University, Tiexi Air Shelter and Anshan Shooting Range for investigation. " The more you talk, the more stiff you get, and the more angry you get. The "rebel" is best at fighting! Told you to shut up.

The second plan: buy a confession.

"Rebellion" has long been planned. He glared at Dan Tianfang and uttered premeditated words: "Dan Tianfang, you have committed countless crimes. Fight to the end, only a dead end. Today, I won't let you explain, first listen to the exposure of the revolutionary masses! "

As soon as the voice fell, someone stood up from his seat and the tearful performance began. Pointing at Dan Tianfang with infinite regret, he gnashed his teeth and shouted, "I want to report you! Indoctrinate me with bourgeois ideas and spread the pernicious influence of feudalism. I was cheated by you! From then on, you and I make a clean break and draw a line ... "The prosecutor exposed:" The surname is single! Your family posted a portrait of Chairman Mao meeting Khrushchev, and you pointed and said,' Look! The two men are fighting with each other. What does Chairman Mao mean by smiling? -Dude, come on! You have a thousand clever ideas, and I have certain rules to ensure that you won't get any cheap. What does Khrushchev mean? -I'm visiting China, and I'll never go back to China without making some money' ... "Teasing the leader, great! Before the end of the lecture, an avalanche of slogans rang out from the audience: "Down with Dan Tianfang!" "Viciously attacking the great leader Chairman Mao, damn it!" ……

Angry, to Dan Tianfang swept over fiercely up, "pa, pa, pa! ..... "Dan Tianfang, a thin figure, dodged from left to right and retreated repeatedly. Finally, I was pushed out by the other party for a long time and my head was knocked on the wall. In an instant, he was very dizzy and climbed for a long time before getting up. The wind hung on the belt, the rain fell, and Dan Tianfang's ears buzzed-in fact, he was deaf on the spot. It is said that for more than two years, his hearing was so noisy and fuzzy that he could hardly hear anything clearly.

Drunk in the wilderness, tears in exile, facing the snow.

1The winter at the end of 968 was cold and long. Dan Tianfang spent this batch of "ghostly" in the Party School of Anshan Municipal Committee. 1April, 969, the above order was handed down, and all the "monsters" were put down to the dried fish ditch near Yingkou.

On May Day, the "Ghosts and Ghosts" who worked in the ditch took an exception and even gave out a few bottles of wine for the first time. Dan Tianfang, a teetotaler, began to drown her sorrows. He was drunk, and when others were not looking, he stumbled out and walked aimlessly. A lone goose, two places to stay. Thinking about it, lovely children reappeared in front of my eyes. Dan Tianfang finally couldn't help screaming: "Lao Tie, Huili, Dad is here ..."

Finally, one day, the "rebel" brother who has been promoted to "instructor" confessed to Dan Tianfang with a straight face: "You have done well recently. After research, you are approved to take five days off. Go home and have a look and be right back. " He raised his wrist, looked at his watch and added, "Five days, no more, no less. In 120 hours, before this moment, there is a knife in the sky, you have to come back to me; Otherwise, the consequences are at your own risk-let's go! " Dan Tianfang word, twist a head and ran. Run Kaminooji, cross the fork, cross Dawa County, get on the ferry at Yingkou Pier and go straight to Anshan. ...

As soon as they entered the yard, Lao Tie and Huili jumped up like birds and shouted, "Dad! Dad ... "Wang Quangui looked at her husband who was troubled by dreams, looked at each other and was silent for a long time. On that day, the Shan family was really like the New Year, and the rich stew flavor filled the whole room and the whole alley.

In the dead of night, the couple have endless intimate words. Dan Tianfang is keenly aware that his wife is obviously getting older. Only one year later, her eyes were covered with new wrinkles, her temples were white and her eyes were dull, and her pride and superiority as a celebrity wife were gone. She stared at her returning relatives with sour tears and asked anxiously, "When will your business be finished?"

Dan Tianfang sighed softly and murmured, "It's not over yet."

"Don't, above also don't give a clear statement?"

"Say what? Hum! They are still willing to let me go easily? "

Tears, gently falling from his wife's face, drop by drop, cool, fell on Dan Tianfang's heart. His rough hands stroked his wife's shoulders and back over and over again.

Soon, a group of people in Dan Tianfang were allowed to return to the city, and then the intellectuals "went to the countryside" to receive re-education from poor and middle peasants, and Dan Tianfang could not escape this fate. Wang Quangui's hometown is near Changchun and is called "a fortress". They decided to go there. According to the "organization" regulations, three houses are levied according to the state-owned list price, and the room fee plus repatriation fee is more than 700 yuan. With this money, a family of four was completely "swept out of the house" and has nothing to do with Anshan City since then.

Neither of the children wanted to leave, so Huili pursed her mouth and kept silent. Nine-year-old Lao Tie cried and refused to submit. Dan Tianfang said, "Son, this trip to the countryside was the idea of Chairman Mao's old man's house-don't you love Chairman Mao the most and listen to him the most? You see, Chairman Mao told us to go to the countryside, and his old man's house will be angry if you don't go. Besides, the countryside is much more fun than the city, with mountains and water, flowers and trees ... "

The spiritual leader of Lao Tie came and asked after him, "Are there any apples?"

"Apple? No. There are many cornfields there. "

"Is it fun?"

"ah! It's fun. You'll know when you get there. "

The son took the opportunity to make a condition: "Go to the countryside, yes; However, I have a request. "

"Say it!"

"Didn't you say that the countryside is vast? I want to learn to ride a bike there-you have to buy me a beautiful bike. " Dan Tianfang grind nodded his head.

Dan Tianfang clearly remembers that the day he left Anshan was1February 2, 970. Wang Quangui gently put the warm right hand in the sleeve on the back of Dan Tianfang's cold hand. The couple in trouble stared at each other and no one spoke. However, each other can feel each other's heartbeat, and their hands are tight and firm, as if they can communicate silently with their fingertips and palms.
