Li Huiliang, a martial artist in Tianjin's Peking Opera industry, is one of the two banners (the other is Zhang Shilin), from the "Li Family Class", learned martial arts at the age of 7, emerged at the age of 16, and became famous in Sichuan, Hubei and Yungui, and returned to Tianjin at the age of 30, and has since become famous in Beijing and Tianjin.
Li Huiliang has performed nearly 300 plays in his life, including "Changbanpo Hanjinkou", "Pick a Pulley", "One Arrow Revenge", "Yaguanlou" and other martial arts plays, as well as "Yanyang Building", "Zhong Kui Marrying Sister", "Iron Cage Mountain", "Haunting Heavenly Palace" and other martial arts face-hooking plays, which are Li Huiliang's eight representative plays for a long time, known as "Li Eight Plays".
Yang Xiaolou's concept of performing arts is "to learn the art of the sages, and never stick to one style". His martial arts not only inherited Yang Xiaolou's artistic style, but also absorbed the essence of Gai Zhaotian, Shang Heyu and others; His literary drama draws elements from Tan Xinpei, Ma Lianliang, Zhou Xinfang and others.
He learned from others and created an artistic path of "Southern Gong and Northern Opera". For example, in his performance of "Changban Slope", the opera road and the frame are performed in the north, while the "inverted tiger" in "Grabbing the Veil" and the "throwing gun" stunt in "Dangyang Bridge" are performed in the southern style and martial arts.
Therefore, Li Huiliang once called the drama he performed "North-South Cooperation". (Li Huiliang: "How I Performed Zhao Yun in "Changban Slope").
How did Li Huiliang use the southern "throwing gun" stunt to create a heroic and fearless image of Zhao Yun in the "Dangyang Bridge" scene of "Changban Slope", not afraid of life and death, regardless of past suspicions, showing his extraordinary heroism and massive heart?
In this scene, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei met, Zhang Fei accused Zhao Yun of surrendering to Cao due to a misunderstanding, and after Zhao Yun explained, he decided to enter the enemy formation again to find the main mother Mrs. Mi and the young master Adou.
Li Huiliang vividly showed Zhao Yun's heroic image through the stunt of "throwing guns".
Since ancient times, heroes have blood, how can they be afraid of death and greed for life. If there is no trace of this, it will be in vain to walk in heaven and earth." After singing, Li Huiliang used the big gong and four-stroke head technique to throw the spear high, so that it flipped 360 degrees in the air, and still fell upright, as if fishing in the air.
Li Huiliang stood on the stage, his hands behind his back, intently waiting for the spear to fall firmly in his hands. His movements were accurate, just in time for the second gong, and then he turned to the right and appeared with an inverted gun.
When the audience saw his performance, it seemed that everything seemed to be relaxed, but in fact, he went through countless hard training and tempering offstage before finally mastering this stunt.
Li Huiliang's unique skill of "receiving a gun from behind" in "Changban Slope" amazed the audience, and even Zhang Guanzheng, who played Zhang Fei back then, felt the enthusiasm of the audience.
Although this technique is now learned and adopted by many martial arts actors, in the sixties of the last century, when Li Huiliang made his first appearance in Beijing, it caused a controversy because of this technique.
Some people accused him of being a "non-Yang faction", "a Waijiang faction", "an inauthentic sect", and a "loss of identity". However, these controversies did not affect Li Huiliang's unique performance style and influence, and he remains a shining star on the Peking Opera stage.
Perhaps it was because Li Huiliang, the "Waijiang faction", actually adapted the Yang faction's "Changban Slope" without authorization and performed it in Beijing, which was loved by the audience, which made some famous bigwigs of the Beijing Dynasty school feel a little embarrassed.
According to Wen Ruhua, a male member of the Zhang faction, revealed in the article "Mr. Li Huiliang I Know", at a dinner party that included Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying, Zhang Junqiu, and Qiu Shengrong, which was dominated by Fu Liancheng actors, some authoritative figures did not attach importance to this "Waijiang faction" from Chongqing, and felt that he had never seen the world, and he must be allowed to have a long experience and destroy his prestige.
Because the martial arts actors who were "enough to sell" at that time were either not in Beijing or could no longer act, only Gao Shenglin of the Wuhan Peking Opera Troupe could still compete with Li Huiliang, so they planned to let Gao Shenglin enter Beijing to perform in the first phase, probably because they wanted Li Huiliang to open his eyes, gain a long insight, and also send a long face for the Beijing Dynasty.
As a result, in the end, it really contributed to a sensational story of the Beijing Peking Opera Company and the Wuhan Peking Opera Troupe.
