The relationship between master and apprentice has always attracted much attention, especially in the cross talk world. The master-apprentice friendship between Li Jindou and Zhao Zhenduo, Meng Fangui and Gao Yingpei has been praised to this day and has become a classic story. However, there are also some masters and apprentices or brothers who do not have a harmonious relationship. For example, Ma Zhiming and Hou Baolin were rumored to have a bad relationship, and they didn't even move around each other.
Ma Zhiming was born in a cross talk family, and his grandfather and father are both famous cross talk actors, and a common problem in the cross talk family is generation disorder. Ma Sanli, as Ma Zhiming's father, although he is younger than many Baozi generations, is still a longevity generation, and Ma Zhiming must worship the ** of the longevity generation.
With the abolition of the Xi of worshipping teachers after liberation, Ma Zhiming could hardly find anyone to worship in the 80s of the last century, but fortunately, Hou Baolin was willing to take Ma Zhiming to get started. Although Hou Baolin is Ma Zhiming's brother, the two do not interact often, which has triggered speculation about the discord between the two. However, Ma Zhiming made it clear in an interview that this estrangement was mainly due to his personal character.
He described himself as arrogant and unsociable, unwilling to cling to others, which was the main reason for his estranged relationship with Hou Baolin. In addition, due to Hou Baolin's high status, Ma Zhiming, as a junior brother, is reluctant to climb high branches, so the relationship between the two is also due to this reason.
It is worth mentioning that although Hou Baolin once agreed to take Ma Zhiming as an apprentice, due to the large age gap between the two and the fact that Ma Zhiming himself had been carefully taught by his father, he actually did not need Hou Baolin to teach any skills. Therefore, the so-called Daila Worship is only a formal ritual. Ma Zhiming also made a clear response to various speculations from the outside world in the interview, indicating that most of these rumors are chasing after the wind, and pointed out that his estrangement from Hou Baolin is mainly based on personal personality and mentorship and apprenticeship.
