His current acting skills can be said to be very superb, it can be said that he is an actor-level acting skill, but he does not participate in the acting. A person's time and energy are limited, and it is enough to do what he likes most in the limited time.

Zhao Hong's skill made Mr. Mei even more happy. His physical fitness is so good that he can do any kind of moves.

At this time, his advantages in boxing since elementary school were manifested, and now his physical fitness is more than ten times that of ordinary people.

With Zhao Hong's face, there is no problem switching back and forth between "Xiaosheng" and "Tsing Yi". Zhao Hong is more interested in learning.

Even during the semester holidays, Zhao Hong just returned to Xiangjiang in a hurry. After spending two or three days with his family, he went to Beijing to continue studying Peking Opera.

Zhao Yazhi came to the capital and stayed with him for more than a month. Zhao Hong spent time together when she was not studying. Siheyuan, the relationship between them has become more profound after getting along with each other in the past few years. Now Zhao Hong and her have done everything except the last step, that is to say, the whole * is still close.

In this way, the holiday passed, and Zhao Hong’s study of Peking Opera was also on the right track. The semester that will start immediately is the last semester. Zhao Hong is starting to write the novel "Farewell My Concubine". Through the study of Peking Opera, Zhao Hong It is easier to write.

"Farewell My Concubine" is a novel written by contemporary writer Li Bihua, first published in June 1985.

Set in Beijing from the 20s to the 20s, the novel tells the love-hate relationship between Cheng Dieyi, Duan Xiaolou, and Juxian.

The author uses the background of the times to interpret the emotional entanglement of obsession and betrayal of small people, and at the same time uses the complexity and magnificence of traditional Liyuan Peking Opera as the keynote to systematically describe the love and killing between the three of them, and of course, with some thinking of the times. It highlights the powerlessness of the little people in the face of the torrent of history, and there is a certain amount of human thinking.

This novel is an epic story about a villain in a big context.

It mainly talks about Dieyi being forced to cut off the last ties with her mother since she was sold by her mother and entrusted to a theater troupe.

Without thinking, he had no choice but to plunge into the opera.At this time, Dieyi was not an opera fanatic, and he was devoted to singing opera just to cover up the emptiness and confusion in his heart after becoming homeless.

Fortunately, there is senior brother Duan Xiaolou's blessing on the difficult and helpless growth path. The bitterness and suffering suffered in childhood, and the stubbornness of being helpless at a young age, were finally moved by senior brother's caring.

They grew up together, and became famous actors together, and Dieyi's worries grew wildly day by day.

On the stage, the senior brother is the overlord who belongs to him and Yu Ji, and his affectionate lover; off the stage, the senior brother is a relative like a brother like a father, and is his last support in this world.

Dieyi naturally regards Xiaolou as an indispensable part of his life, but after stepping off the stage and putting on makeup, they are brothers who are both men.

Dieyi was not without hesitation and wavering in his heart, but one day after performing "Farewell My Concubine" with his senior brother again, he took the stage with the flattering and flattering support of the theater owner. At that moment, I suddenly felt relieved: As long as I can keep singing with my seniors, it will last forever.

However, the arrival of Juxian gave Dieyi a fatal blow.

Under Juxian's crying, Duan Xiaolou only hesitated for a moment, and made a promise to marry her.Dieyi was heartbroken but couldn't help but see his senior brother make a decision, so he had to watch the two leave with tears in their eyes.

It happened that night, because Duan Xiaolou insisted on arranging the marriage to marry Juxian, so Dieyi had to go to Yuan's mansion to attend the Hongmen banquet alone, and finally lost her life to Yuan Shiqing.

Dang Dieyi, with her face full of makeup, abandoned herself to Duan's house overnight, but witnessed the two getting married.

After that, Dieyi learned to smoke opium, broke up with her senior and reconciled.

Dieyi reluctantly accepts the fact that her senior brother has become a husband, but she cannot accept Juxian from her heart.

Juxian is good at observing words and expressions, and after several contacts, he figured out the little thing about Dieyi.

During the "Carrying Sticks" period, Dieyi went to sing for the Japanese in order to save Xiaolou, but was almost beaten to a pulp and sent to prison.

On the stage, Juxian was kicked in the stomach during the chaos to help the two brothers and sisters to persuade others to fight, resulting in a miscarriage.

Until Meretrix meretrix, under the pressure of "rectification", the two exposed each other under the environment of frequent madness and out of control.

When Duan Xiaolou couldn't stop pointing out the matter between Dieyi and Yuan Shiqing, Dieyi's trust in Duan Xiaolou was completely destroyed at this moment.

At the end of the story, Dieyi and Xiaolou, who are over half a century old, reunited in Hong Kong.

Talking about the past, Duan Xiaolou revealed in his words that he understood Dieyi's heart a long time ago, but he was always avoiding it.Dieyi got the other party's answer, and she couldn't deceive herself anymore.

In the end, the two put on makeup and sang "Farewell My Concubine" together on stage, and they were separated from each other and never saw each other again.

Zhao Hong has read this novel many times. The novel uses a combination of paragraphs to narrate the life experiences of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou in major historical events such as the warlord melee, the "carrying" Japanese war, the founding of New China, and clams. , strengthening the influence of the historical process on the fate of individuals.

At the end of the novel, Cheng Dieyi unexpectedly reunites with Duan Xiaolou in Hong Kong.The Overlord with a broken voice, the old Concubine Yu, sang "Farewell My Concubine" on stage again.

After the play was over, Cheng Dieyi just managed to get up, patted the dust, and then went back with the group.

Compared with the plot of drawing a sword and committing suicide in the movie, the ending of the novel reveals more worldly despair and helplessness.

Dieyi's life is undoubtedly a tragedy. His body condenses the history of blood and tears in the alternation of old and new societies.

The novels and movies are very exciting, so Zhao Hong dare not write casually. If she can't inherit it perfectly, it will be the biggest loss.

This is the reason why Zhao Hong wants to learn Peking Opera by herself. The novel itself is very delicate. Zhao Hong just writes the novel more masculine, makes the daily life of Peking Opera more realistic and natural, and also describes the life of BJ. more natural.

Just for this, Zhao Hong read all the books in the Tsinghua Library about the description of the capital during the Republic of China period.

Zhao Hong didn't finish writing this novel from the beginning of this semester until he was about to graduate. Zhao Hong spent a lot of energy in it. He made several different drafts, focusing on the details of life in Peking Opera.

He asked Mr. Mei to help him consider and strive for perfection, and he didn't stop writing until there was nothing to change. During this period, Zhao Hong and his sister Zhao Yingying urged him to write the manuscript several times, but Zhao Hong was unmoved.

He has a habit of publishing novels only after they are finished, which helps him to change and optimize his works at any time.
