6. Unknown story of "Bole" Xu Tianhong and "Queen" Fang Yafen:? Diary of Wang Xianlin

Xu Tianhong's love for young people is sincere. A year later, her heart for boxing with manufacturable materials became even more legendary. ?

1983, Xu Tianhong was invited to watch Liu Yichuan performed by Zhejiang Zhenhai Yue Theatre Company. As soon as the actress who plays the dragon lady and three mothers appeared, her beautiful appearance immediately attracted Xu Tianhong's attention. Listening to her singing again, Xu Tianhong will find her voice sweet. Especially in "Farewell by the Lake", the figure of the hero turns around, which makes Xu Tianhong feel that she is somewhat similar to Yuan Xuefen when she was young. Xu Tianhong asked Ye Baoding, the screenwriter who accompanied him to the theater, "What's the name of this actor? How long have you been studying drama? " ?

"Her name is Fang Yafen, and she has only studied for more than a year. What do you think of her? " ?

Xu Tianhong said softly, "It's fine." ?

Ye Baoding sympathized with Fang Yafen's family. After talking about his father's death due to illness, his mother's meager income and heavy burden of life, he said to Xu Tianhong, "You have the opportunity to help her." ?

Xu Tianhong has another pity for Fang Yafen: "Wait for the opportunity!" ?

After the performance, Xu Tianhong went backstage. Fang Yafen was dismounting, and Xu Tianhong looked at the little girl carefully. She has a good image, a straight face, crystal eyes and a well-proportioned figure. It's really good material for Hua Dan. ?

"How old are you? Who gave you makeup? " Xu Tianhong asked kindly. ?

Seeing a strange Xu Tianhong's inquiry, Fang Yafen replied shyly: "I am 17 years old, and I put on my own makeup." ? The calligraphers Ren Zheng and Lu Tao who were present were particularly cordial and loved Fang Yafen when they saw the performance of their hometown troupe. They said affectionately, "Teacher Xu, you older generation should pay more attention to the younger generation!" " ?

From then on, Fang Yafen's gesture always appeared in Xu Tianhong's mind. One day, Xu Tianhong went straight to the dean's office and recommended Fang Yafen to Yuan Xuefen, Zhang Chengzhi, Chen Wu and Xu Jin. She said rightfully, "Fang Yafen has a voice, looks and can act. She is a good prospect. Nowadays, newspapers often publicize the flow of talents, and the theater should find ways to transfer her. " ?

In ancient times, Xu Tianhong recommended talents. The deans specially went to see Fang Yafen's performance, and as a result, "Great minds think alike". At that time, a Sichuan Opera actor was invited to teach sleeves in Yue Theatre, and the leaders of the Academy persuaded the troupe to let Fang Yafen and a minority actor stay and study. ?

Two little girls stay in Shanghai and have difficulty in accommodation. Xu Tianhong took the initiative to write it down and take them home. Xu Tianhong treats them as daughters and takes good care of them. Fang Yafen studies art with his teacher or watches rehearsals every day. In the evening, he always reads newspapers and takes notes. For such a studious and self-reliant young man, Xu Tianhong was happy. ?

After studying, Fang Yafen will go to Zhenhai. She thanked Xu Tianhong: "Teacher, you are so kind to us. The country has' three guarantees' and the teacher is' four guarantees' to us. " ? Xu Tianhong didn't understand: "What do you mean by' four bags'?" ?

"You give us food, shelter and clothing, and give us pocket money. Isn't this a' four packs'? " ? Xu Tianhong listened to in stitches. ?

They were so close that Fang Yafen took out a round plastic hanger and said to Xu Tianhong, "Leave this as a souvenir for the teacher. Teacher, I will come to see you again. " ?

Xu Tianhong said with tears: "Yes, you have come, I hope you will come!" ?

However, it is not easy to transfer people. The personnel system at that time was like freezing three feet, and it took some time to thaw. The party and government leaders of Guangdong Opera House made a lot of efforts to mobilize Fang Yafen, but it backfired. Yuan Xuefen told Xu Tianhong bluntly: "It seems quite difficult. I handled it through the province, but the result was not good. If this matter continues, it will become a role in the theater, which will have a bad influence. " ? Xu Tianhong understands Yuan Xuefen very well. As the director of the hospital, she has her difficulties. However, Xu Tianhong didn't want to give up: "It took a lot of energy, so we can't just let it go. I read in the newspaper that we have been promoting the flow of talents and tapping talents. What we do is completely in line with the party's policy, and I refuse to do anything that will make mistakes. I still have to find a way. " ? Yuan Xuefen asked, "What do you do?" ? "You don't have to worry about this, just wait and see." ?

Xu Tianhong learned that Wang Kuanren, Zhou Xingpei, Wang Xinkang, Mr. Zhou Xingbing, Yao Zhouxingyuan and Ms. Ark Xingju from Hong Kong are investing in rebuilding the Zhuangyuan Building in Ningbo, and he wanted to invite relevant parties to transfer personnel through these friends. So she contacted Mrs Yao. When Mrs Yao understood Xu Tianhong's kindness, she offered to help. ? ...
