In the Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan is considered to be the second generation of cross talk actors, and among the first generation of cross talk actors, the representative of the old lady is Zhao Lirong. Zhao Benshan once said that he must stand on Zhao Lirong's side on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Actor Zhao Lirong is considered to be an artist of the older generation and has gone through an exciting era. She incorporates her own philosophy of life into each performance. The artist believes that only by experiencing bitterness can one truly appreciate the taste of sweetness. She believes that true laughter can only be created in the tragedy of life.
Despite her old age, Zhao Lirong has always kept pace with the times.
In 1989, she sang a song full of sad emotions "Last Night's Stars";In 1992, she showed her versatility in the form of tango in the essay "Mom's Today", and in 1995, she danced in a Spanish horse in "So Packaged".In 1996, she also performed the opera "Part-time Adventure".
These diverse performance formats demonstrate Zhao Lirong's versatility and relentless pursuit of art.
In her later years, Zhao Lirong was always eager to show another side of her past on stage. Even though she is in her sixties, she took the initiative to learn Xi modern dance, mastered the skills of singing English songs, and learned to brush words. In her 1995 essay "The Adventures of a Part-time Worker", she presented four major brushes in the form of improvised merchandise, which won the applause of countless audiences for this tenacious old lady.
This shows that Zhao Lirong is not afraid of difficulties, actively learns Xi and constantly challenges herself on the stage.
The ingenious combination of Hou Wen and Aunt Zhao, coupled with Aunt Zhao's meticulousness, made the phrase "Sima Guang Smashing" evolved into "Sima Cylindrical Smashing Light" in the wonderful performance of the two, forming a strong contrast. The idea breathed life into A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother, which kept audiences across the country immersed in an atmosphere of satisfaction and laughter for an entire year.
The success of "A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother" gave Zhao Lirong a successful turnaround, but it wasn't until the spring of 1995 that she really became the hottest star among the high-profile actors. This classic **, like a dazzling star, is deeply imprinted in the memory of people's hearts and has become a classic of the human heart.
In "So Packaged", there is a ** showing the scene of Zhao Lirong's debut, and the audience generally believes that this is a scene set up for dramatic effect. But in reality, this plot is not out of the script's needs. At that time, Zhao Lirong was unable to support her due to a leg injury and eventually collapsed to the ground, but she persevered to complete the performance. Zhao Lirong's godson, Gong Hanlin, recalled that after the stage, Zhao Lirong was placed on the spot, and her legs became very swollen due to edema. This perseverance is impressive.
In the final stage of the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Zhao Lirong coughed up blood in the background, and despite her worrying physical condition, she still insisted on having to do so.
In "Kung Fu Order", she presents the image of an energetic and energetic old lady. However, people did not expect that in the last moments of her life, this would become the last performance she left for art. This dedication to art is deeply admirable.
In 2000, at the age of 72, Zhao Lirong died of lung cancer. Her memorial service was held on July 27, 2000 in Babaoshan, Beijing, and 10,000 spectators witnessed the ceremony and waved farewell to the veteran artist. This is a touching farewell to her life's contribution, which is embarrassing.
