Cui Jichang's life

Cui Jichang grew up with a loud voice and a very high tone. He sings the loudest in kindergarten. The teacher is his cousin and teaches him to sing many songs. He really lived up to his expectations. No matter what the occasion, he just sings and sings very well, attracting warm applause and praise.

At the age of twelve, Lu Yongdong, a famous JD.COM drummer from Sanhe, came to Xiaodingzhuang to say "Xiao Ba Yi" and lived in Cui Jichang's house. Cui Jichang surrounded them, beating gongs and drums for a while, and pestering Rehabilitation Yuan to learn from the teacher for a while. He didn't get what he wanted because of the strong opposition of his family. But since then, he has created infinite plots for JD. COM drums. During the Cultural Revolution, every village set up a Mao Zedong Thought literature and art propaganda team. Xiaodingzhuang village is small, but there are two factions. The leaders of the two propaganda teams are vying for Cui Jichang. He thinks that both factions are revolutionary, so he doesn't know which one to join. The two factions also had an argument because of him, and finally solved the problem by drawing lots. Fortunately, there was only a fight, not a fight. In the propaganda team, Cui Jichang not only sang "I love reading Chairman Mao's books" on the JD.COM drum, but also began to create programs from then on. Although he didn't perform in the village historical drama "Testimony of Niudaogou" written by him, it gave him exercise and showed his creative talent. It became an instant hit in a commune performance. It is said that Xiaodingzhuang has a great clown, which will be very promising.

1969 12 17, Cui Jichang got on the train to the army at Tianjin West Railway Station, and arrived at the tank unit where he served the next day 17. Cui Jichang's "JD.COM Drum" was warmly welcomed by the officers and men at the New Year's party of the second company of the reconnaissance battalion, and has since become the literary backbone of the company. 1974, in the literary performance of the team directly under the division, he and three other comrades formed the Reconnaissance Second Company Singing Group to win the championship in one fell swoop. His singing of JD.COM Drum "A Bad Critic" is very popular. In the same year, they attended the jinan military area command Art Concert in June+10, 5438, and their four-person singing group was recommended to perform in Beijing, which caused a great sensation. 65438-0975, touring in Jinan Theatre, as a benchmark for excellent singing groups. Cui Jichang's JD.COM drum echoes wherever he sings, and many people come to ask for advice and learn to sing JD.COM drum. Cui Jichang took pains to teach singing and was highly praised by grassroots cadres and soldiers.

Cui Jichang served in the army for 17 years, participated in the military region and the military region's literary performance 13 times, was rated as an excellent actor 13 times, and won more than 20 works. Every time he composed and sang JD.COM drums, he kept programs and won prizes. 1977 Participated in the jinan military area command Art Concert for the third time. JD.COM Drum "Pick Explosives" won the double prize of creation and performance, and was recorded and broadcast by Shandong TV and radio stations. Once again, his singing group was rated as a literary performance team of the whole army in Jinjing.

1980, Cui Jichang's tank troops were transferred from jinan military area command to Nanjing Military Region. In the same year, he participated in the Nanjing Military Region 10 art performance, and his JD.COM drum "Pick Explosives" was also sung in the Nanjing Military Region, which was studied by many people. 1982, his "JD.COM Drum" won the Excellence Award for Frontier Literary Essay in Nanjing Military Region.

1983 Participated in the 12th All-Army Literature and Art Performance, and Cui Jichang won the first prize for "Journey Anecdotes" on JD.COM Drum. At 1986, JD. COM drum "Night of the Full Moon" participated in the creation performance of the 12th All-Army Literary Performance for the second time, and Cui Jichang won the first prize for creation, which also drew a satisfactory full stop for his artistic practice on the literary stage of the whole army.

At the end of 1986, Cui Jichang transferred to Sanhe Cultural Center. 1987 Spring, he created and performed "Three Parallel Rivers", a JD.COM drum, which was praised on the spot by the county party secretary when reporting the performance. The National Day performance in June+10, 5438 was warmly welcomed by the audience, recorded and played by Sanhe TV Station, and widely sung in JD.COM. JD.COM drum lovers from neighboring counties come here to learn to sing, or ask them to create JD.COM drums that reflect reality, such as "Couple Night", a JD.COM drum he created and performed for Pinggu; "Good Students" and "Songs of Bangjun Fifth Primary School" in Bangjun Town, Jixian County.

Shortly after changing jobs, Cui Jichang was appointed as the head of the Mass Art Troupe by the Cultural Center. He and all his colleagues formed the sanhe city Youth Art Troupe. Riding a bicycle to the countryside was seen off by the then county party secretary, and Hebei TV station made a special report. 1988 and 1989 have performed in temple fairs in urban areas for two consecutive years, covering every town in Sanhe. No matter where he performs, he insists on singing wherever he goes, singing the spirit of who he performs for. Therefore, his JD.COM drums are particularly popular.

From 65438 to 0989, Cui Jichang became the deputy curator and was more serious and responsible for his work. He not only insisted on the pursuit of JD.COM drums, but also paid more attention to the cultivation of new people. 1987 he just joined the cultural center and first put forward the idea of holding literature and art training classes. In the same year, the cultural center opened music classes and performance classes, which laid a good foundation for the later establishment of the Youth Art Troupe. 1990, the Youth Art Troupe was formally established. During his tenure as the head of the team, he intensified the efforts to cultivate artistic talents in Sanhe, among which Wang Shucai, Tian Haichun and Liu Shouyu were prominent. Wang Shucai is currently an actor of Beijing Quyi Troupe and concurrently the manager of performance outreach department.

During Cui Jichang's service in the army, the army arranged for him to go to Tianjin twice to learn from Dong Xiangkun, a famous drummer in JD.COM. Dong Lao also wrote an inscription for him: "Learn from JD.COM Drum to better serve the people". This sentence has always inspired him, and he has always insisted on the pursuit of JD.COM drums.

In the afternoon and evening of February 1997 (the 13th day of the first month), Cui Jichang's solo concert was held in the People's Auditorium. Haoran, a famous writer, watched the performance accompanied by the leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. Cui Jichang's two masters, the famous drummer, the worker Quyi artist and Liu, a fast-writing player from Shandong High School, participated in the performance. Nearly 3000 spectators in the two performances were not only infected by the wonderful performances, but also moved by Cui Jichang's pursuit of JD.COM drums and his love for Sanjiang. The audience did not give warm applause, which is not only a reward for the wonderful program, but also an affirmation of Cui Jichang's contribution to Sanhe culture.

1in may, 1993, Cui Jichang was transferred from the deputy director of the cultural center and secretary of the party branch to the municipal cultural bureau, where he served as the chief of the cultural and art unit and secretary of the party branch. At this time, he had the opportunity to often go to the countryside, met many amateur literary lovers, especially with Mr. Chen Huaide, a representative of JD.COM Drum School in rural areas, which made him have a deeper understanding of the origin, development, inheritance and genre of JD.COM Drum and a more sense of responsibility for the future development of JD.COM Drum. Therefore, he strengthened his contact with some drum artists in Sanhe, and constantly learned from them the skills of writing and singing, which was of great help to his writing and singing, and also played a key role in his being named as the inheritor of JD.COM drum in Hebei. 1In May 1997, Cui Jichang returned to the Cultural Center as the curator, and this work lasted for eight years. In the words of an old comrade in the cultural center, Cui Jichang's eight years as a curator were the eight years with the most activities in the cultural center.

The main activities are:

1, founded an art school, which filled a gap in art education in sanhe city and was widely praised by the society.

2. Organize colorful weekend activities. New Century Square is very lively every weekend, becoming a beautiful scenery in sanhe city. Every activity has a theme, a theme and a program, which develops from urban areas to township streets, creating new contents, new forms and new situations of mass cultural activities.

3. Organize and hold the first sanhe city Singer Grand Prix from 1987, and hold it once a year thereafter. Found and trained thousands of outstanding amateur singers, and recommended nearly 100 business backbones to professional literary and art groups. Wang Shucai, an actor of Beijing Quyi Troupe, and Li Juan of Yanjiao Railway Electric Section are outstanding.

4. Starting from 1998, the "Minghui Cup" children's painting and calligraphy competition will be held every year. In 2003, there were more than 10,000 contestants with great influence, ranking first in Hebei.

Since 2000, a literary salon has been held every weekend, which is systematically publicized and introduced by Langfang Cultural Center.

6. Leading the cultural center to win the title of advanced collective of grassroots culture in Hebei Province and excellent cultural center in Langfang City. Every year, he is an advanced collective of Sanhe cultural system and an advanced individual every year, and has won the title of excellent cultural curator of Langfang for many times.

7. The establishment of sanhe city Etiquette Service Company has added luster to the ceremonial activities of major celebrations in sanhe city and improved the cultural taste of sanhe city celebrations. 8. He presided over the establishment of Yanjiao Branch and Beicheng Branch of sanhe city Cultural Center. As long as there is no money, no material, no additional staff, there are all kinds of activities. The first Xishi District Singer Grand Prix and New Year's Eve party were well received by leaders of Xishi District and people from all walks of life. 9. Established sanhe city Acrobatic Art Troupe, won a gold medal and a silver prize in the national acrobatic competition, and won the organization prize in the cultural center.

10, sanhe city Disabled People's Art Troupe was established. Blind performers were restored, blind fortune tellers were recalled, and meaningful cultural activities were held in the form of storytelling and singing, which attracted great attention and was reported by many media.

Sanhe city Cultural Center has created brilliance because Cui Jichang is the curator, and Cui Jichang has also made impressive achievements in the post of curator. The unit has a brand-new look and has been widely praised by all walks of life. Cui Jichang's artistic activities have never stopped because of his busy work. On the contrary, he created more brilliant achievements, especially the development and popularization of JD.COM drums. As long as there is a performance, there will be his JD.COM drum. After leading the masses to sing "Three Parallel Rivers", it will sing the annual events of the Three Rivers to the fullest at the annual Spring Festival group meeting. The song "The Best of Yanjiao" at the opening ceremony of large-scale investment promotion activities in Yanjiao was not only satisfied by the leaders, but also praised by the guests, which played an inestimable role in attracting investment in Yanjiao Development Zone. Feng Gong, a famous crosstalk performer who performed on the same stage, spoke highly of it. In the "color weekend" cultural activities, while playing drums, while singing a unit. Going to the countryside to perform a village street, a village street with drums, is now edited and performed, appropriate, concise and accurate. Anyone who reads it praises it, and anyone who listens to it praises it. JD.COM drum, a traditional art form, is seamlessly combined with real life, which fully embodies the role of JD.COM drum art light cavalry. In the development history of JD.COM drum, it can be said to be the pinnacle. Even if invited to participate in the performance of Beijing Quyi Troupe in the countryside, he persisted and was warmly welcomed by Beijing urban and rural residents and students at school.

The creation and performance of JD.COM Drum and Cui Jichang's Quyi are not only displayed in various kinds of music, but also the crosstalk "One Thousand Ways" between him and his daughter Cui Zheng not only won the first prize of Zhao Yan Stars, the highest prize in Hebei Province, but also was repeatedly played by Hebei TV station. He and his daughter Cui Zheng were the only father-daughter partners in this country at that time. The comic dialogue "Book Stream Provider", which was created and performed by father and daughter, won the third prize of the national Quyi sketch, filling the blank that no one won the national Quyi prize in Sanhe history. In 2003, his allegro work "Three Parallel Rivers and Douban" won the Zhao Yan Star Award. To sum up, Cui Jichang has won more than 100 awards in his artistic practice for more than 30 years. A bookshelf is full of awards and certificates. Although he cherishes them, he never shows them off to outsiders. In 2000, he applied for a senior title, and the person in charge of the whole file asked him for the original certificate. He put the original back to the title unit of the personnel bureau, which surprised people and could not help but blurt out: your conditions must be enough. I didn't say anything else I'll go through all the formalities for him right away. Make him one of the few talents with senior titles in sanhe city cultural circle. On June 5438+065438+1October 15, 2000, the party group of sanhe city Municipal Bureau of Culture and Sports collectively talked with Cui Jichang and asked him to be the head of the opera troupe, which was in extremely poor and unsustainable operation. All party members thought it would be difficult to talk about life, but the director just said the opening remarks, but he never thought about it. Cui Jichang solemnly agreed. He said it well: as long as the party group trusts me, I have nothing to say. There is no difficulty, easy work, and the party group will not talk to me so seriously. As long as the leaders support me, I promise to make the Opera Troupe brilliant again. However, Pingju Troupe is not a cultural center after all, although it is a public institution, but it has implemented the policy of financial compensation. When it comes to making up the difference, at that time, only 220,000 yuan was allocated every year, regardless of anything, while the pension of the retirees of the Pingju Opera Troupe exceeded 230,000. In the insufficient part, the troupe has to go to the market to earn money and give pensions to retirees. Sometimes you can't pay your salary on time. Retired people have opinions, and on-the-job people don't get paid, and they are full of complaints. As a result, a large number of professionals lost their jobs, especially Zhao's disciples who played the leading role in Dachang Troupe, and some of them became trumpeters. The whole group is extremely depressed, unstable and in danger. What's more, there is no rehearsal space, no heating for accommodation, only a dozen dilapidated bungalows and no warehouse. Clothes and props are piled up outside, and no one cares. The whole group is like a piece of sand. Everyone is in a state of flux, and each has his own abacus. He left without saying goodbye at any time, and even stole some useful costume props when he left.

Cui Jichang reported to the Pingju Troupe, which was personally delivered by the director and announced his appointment. The director announced his appointment and left, leaving Cui Jichang such a shabby troupe. He stayed in Colonel Leng's office that night, but he didn't fall asleep all night. What should the troupe do and how should it develop? Overnight, he formulated the working principles of "developing modern song and dance, restoring traditional drama criticism, cultivating top talents and building a first-class troupe" and "shaping the image of artists on stage, shaping his own image under stage, shaping the image of the troupe internally and shaping the image of the Three Rivers externally". I am a member of the troupe, and the troupe is my home. Everyone strives to be good actors and revitalize Sanhe Pingju Troupe. I would rather go through all kinds of hardships and let the people praise the short-term and long-term development plan of our government's group training and drama troupe. At the next day's general meeting of the whole troupe, he announced the working policy, group training and long-term and short-term development plan to the whole troupe, which was unanimously supported by the cast members of the whole troupe. The common aspiration is that the troupe finally has a good head. As long as the head says a word, we will never say it. The whole group is unified, and the motivation is naturally greater. Under the constraint of the system, the enthusiasm for work is high, and the momentum of learning business is great. In less than a week, a special program of legal publicity and education, Campus Traffic Lights, was arranged. Performing on the campus of the city was widely welcomed by teachers and students, which suddenly opened up the performance market. Successive special performances have enabled the Pingju Opera Troupe to embark on a virtuous circle. Less than three months after taking office, he led the troupe to resume the traditional Pingju "Flower as Media" and some selected performances. During the Lantern Festival performance on the fifteenth day of the first month, 1000 people were reluctant to leave after the performance. We must make sure that all the actors on the stage are present. When they went out, the audience was still whispering and admiring, and they all praised the Pingju Opera Troupe for its hope again. I can see Sanhe Opera Troupe again in the future. This performance brought back a group of loyal audiences of the troupe and cultivated a group of young audiences, which laid a mass foundation for the revitalization of the troupe.

Cui Jichang worked in the Pingju Troupe for four years, and his days are short. With his own efforts and unremitting pursuit, he solved five difficult problems of Pingju Opera Troupe:

1, which solved the social insurance and unemployment insurance for all employees. To this end, he made a move from top to bottom, which annoyed the leaders in charge at that time. Fortunately, it has solved the worries of all the staff of the troupe, and made the whole troupe unite as one and make new achievements.

2. The problem of the location of Pingju Troupe has been solved, so that this old troupe, which has been established for nearly 50 years, finally has its own home. Fixed assets rose from several hundred thousand yuan to nearly two million yuan.

3. Increased financial allocation. At the end of 2000, when Cui Jichang was appointed as the team leader, although the financial allocation was 220,000 yuan per year, the salary of retirees was nearly 240,000 yuan, which made it impossible to pay pensions in full. Since the old-age insurance has been solved, retirees have gone to the insurance office to receive pensions, and retirees are very satisfied. However, the annual financial allocation of 220,000 yuan is no longer allocated to the troupe. With the efforts of Cui Jichang, the financial allocation of 50,000 yuan was barely used as business expenses. But he is still not satisfied and continues to coordinate from top to bottom. The mayor was moved by his professionalism and allocated 50,000 yuan for business expenses, totaling 654.38+10,000 yuan. In Langfang, it is second only to Dachang Pingju Troupe, but it is better than any other troupe.

4. In 2002, he created, rehearsed and performed the modern pingju "Encounter with a Silly Column", which is a combination of director and performance. He participated in the 6th Hebei Drama Festival and won four awards, namely, repertoire, screenwriter, director and excellent actor, which became a new milestone for sanhe city Pingju Troupe. Cui Jichang won three awards as screenwriter, director and excellent actor, which became a much-told story in the 6th Hebei Drama Festival.

5. In four years, four traditional Pingju operas were restored: Flowers as a Media, Sister-in-law is not virtuous, Sister Yang complained, and Persuading Ai Bao, which basically restored the vitality of Sanhe Pingju Opera Troupe, strengthened the trust of the municipal party committee and the municipal government in Pingju Opera Troupe, strengthened the confidence of all the people in Pingju Opera Troupe, let the people of Sanhe see the hope of Pingju Opera Troupe, and laid an excellent foundation for its comprehensive revitalization. On the evening of April 24, 2009, "JD. COM Drum Exhibition, the third in a series of activities of "Inheritance and Popularization of National Folk Arts" sponsored by the School of Education of Central University for Nationalities, was successfully held in the University Student Activity Center.

The activity invited members of Chinese Quyi Association, directors of Hebei Quyi Association, inheritors of JD.COM drum music in Hebei Province, JD.COM drum music performers specially invited by Beijing Quyi Troupe, Cui Jichang, chairman of Langfang Quyi Association in Hebei Province, Wang Shucai, "Prince Shu Qin" in Beijing, and Beijing Quyi Troupe to give traditional JD.COM drum music performances and speeches for our teachers and students. Teacher Dong Yan, Secretary of the General Party Branch of the College of Education, and Teacher Tan Zhongxiu, Secretary of the General League Branch attended the event. Teacher Dong Yan first introduced the original intention of holding this activity. She said that JD.COM drum, as a folk opera art, has been popular in Beijing, Tianjin, Jidong and Northeast China for more than 100 years. However, today, most people can only understand it indirectly through TV and other media, and they don't really realize the charm of this folk art. At the same time, JD.COM Drum is facing a crisis of inheritance. The College of Education hopes to introduce these precious cultural heritages to college students through exhibitions and lectures by holding a series of activities to inherit and popularize ethnic and folk cultures, so that more students can understand the charm and value of excellent traditional cultures, and consciously join the ranks of protecting and inheriting ethnic and folk traditional cultures, and make contributions to the inheritance and promotion of excellent traditional cultures. Subsequently, with the theme of "the origin, development, inheritance and present situation of JD.COM Drum", Mr. Cui Jichang introduced the background, development and changes, inheritance mechanism, cultural value and function of JD.COM Drum in a simple way, and looked forward to the present situation and future of JD.COM Drum.

At the beginning of the speech, Teacher Cui Jichang wrote and performed a few words of JD.COM drums, which immediately aroused the interest of teachers and students. Then, we talked and sang in the speech. Not only Mr Cui Jichang sang, but also Mr Wang Shucai sang live songs such as Courtesy of Longevity Village. Zhao Ning, a dulcimer, also improvised a piece of Xihe drum "Linglong Tower", which made the students very satisfied. Teacher Cui Jichang sang "The Big Truth" and then sang a "Big Lie", and invited the students and teachers at the scene to imitate the performance and ask him. The activity climaxed and applause continued. JD.COM drum's flexible expression and distinctive singing style not only make students appreciate the charm of traditional China opera, but also deeply impressed by the profound artistic foundation and the spirit of tireless and voluntary dissemination of folk art by the old artists. Many traditional songs convey the meaning of "persuading people to be good" with vivid and humorous storylines and language, so that everyone can unconsciously receive ideological and moral education and realize that traditional art contains rich and valuable cultural and educational value, which is worth cherishing and inheriting by our future generations.

The activity ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Through this close contact with JD.COM Drum, students once again feel the unique artistic charm of folk traditional folk art, and cultivate and establish the belief of protecting and inheriting the excellent traditional culture of the nation and people through personal experience.
