Crosstalk master Li Jindou, an artist loved by the audience, has become one of the representatives of today's crosstalk industry with his talented performance style and dramatic works.
However, his bumpy childhood and extraordinary path to fame are little known.
Starting from the life experience of her mother Li Huilan, this peerless woman was extremely beautiful when she was young, but she was united by love at first sight with a poor young man.
In order to support her husband's dream of studying abroad, Li Huilan supported the family alone, however, her husband drifted away in a foreign country, leaving her and her two young sons behind.
In a difficult environment, the eldest son Li Jinsheng died of liver ascites at the age of ten, which hit Li Huilan hard.
Five-year-old Li Jindou became an orphan and was fortunately adopted by Li Huilan's friend Zhao Guirong. Zhao Guirong was full of maternal love and regarded Li Jindou as his own, but the reincarnation of fate came again, and she was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer.
In order to prolong the life of the adoptive mother, Li Jindou and his wife worked tirelessly to extend her life expectancy by 20 years.
It was not until after the death of Zhao Guirongxian that Li Jindou was able to devote himself to artistic creation.
In 1992, he finally appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and his cooperation with Chen Yongquan's "Pet Fever" was a success, pushing cross talk to a broader stage.
However, behind the success was the repeated unsuccessful pursuit of his father, which made Li Jindou deeply regret.
Despite this, he has achieved brilliant artistic achievements with his maverick artistic style, breaking the framework of traditional opera.
