The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

   In Guo Degang's stand-up comics, there are two passages that reflect the rule of warlords, one is called "Shooting Liu Hanchen", and the other is called "Bai Zongwei Falls from a Building", both of which are based on real historical events.

   The protagonists of the former are Chu Yupu and the fifth concubine Tai Xiaoqing, and the protagonists of the latter are Chu Yufeng and the dancer Jin Duo.

  Bai Zongwei is a well-known painter. Because of his brother's loss of money, he was forced to live in Tianjin to make a living, and married a dancer named Jin Duo.

   Chu Yufeng is a starving ghost, and when he sees Jin Duo, he is fascinated. In the name of buying paintings, he led Jin Duo into the hotel room forcibly. In the end, Bai Zongwei was forced to commit suicide by jumping off the building. Before his death, he wrote the whole incident into a complaint. The case caused a sensation in Tianjin City for a while.

   "Bai Zongwei falling from a building" happened in early 1927. At this time, Chu Yufeng had not seen Jin Duo, but there were already many women who had been harmed by him.

   When Zhou Hexuan returned to Tianjin from Peiping, Chu Yufeng was in the Tianbao class holding a beautiful woman smoking a big cigarette.

   Although the girls in the Tianbao class are of high quality, they will get tired of eating too many delicacies from the mountains and seas. Chu Yufeng had long wanted to change his taste. He said to Du Xiaoshan, "What else is there to do in Tianjin?"

  Du Xiaoshan responded quickly: "Second Master, you have already played in the fun places in Tianjin City."

   "It's really a disappointment." After Chu Yufeng finished smoking, she put on her clothes and went downstairs, her eyes swept around the street, she was just looking for a good-looking woman.

  Chu Yufeng is Chu Yupu's brother, his task is to be stationed in Tianjin City, by the way to track down the revolutionary party and the red elements. Last month, he took a fancy to a married woman, so he gave her husband the hat of chaos, and it took him more than ten days to be satisfied.

  Du Xiaoshan is not a good thing either. After climbing on Chu Yupu's relationship, he merged eight charitable organizations in Tianjin, named it "Bashantang", and collected money everywhere under the guise of charity. Now that Chu Yupu had gone to the front line to fight, Du Xiaoshan turned to curry favor with Chu Yufeng and helped come up with many bad ideas.

   Chu Yufeng called for a few rickshaws, but he didn't say where to go, just let the driver wander around the city. Wherever they went, pedestrians on the street avoided, as if they had encountered the plague.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

  Chu Yufeng laughed loudly, he liked this majestic feeling, it was much more interesting than fighting on the battlefield.

  Du Xiaoshan immediately flattered and said: "Second Master Huwei! The commander let Second Master sit in Tianjin. He is really a hero, and the revolutionary party will not dare to make trouble again."

   "It's just that your kid can talk." Chu Yufeng said favorably.

   When the group passed by the Xinming Grand Theater, Chu Yufeng suddenly shouted, "Stop the car and ask the boss, what's going on today!"

   The attendant rushed into the theater immediately, and quickly ran back to report: "Second Master, this afternoon is a special performance of the Qingyun Society, and Chen Xiuhua personally appeared on the stage to sing the finale."

   Chu Yufeng wondered, "I know Mei Lanfang and Shang Xiaoyun. Who is this Chen Xiuhua?"

  Du Xiaoshan hurriedly explained: "Chen Xiuhua is a famous master of the Tan School, and he is also very accomplished in the arts of the Yu School. After he changed his voice, his throat became choked, and his singing was not as good as before, so he was not as famous as Mei and Shang."

  Chu Yufeng was so idle that he had nothing to do, so he got off the driveway: "Go, go in and have a look."

   Chu Yufeng and Du Xiaoshan brought five or six attendants and swaggered into the theater without having to buy a ticket, no one dared to stop them anyway. They went straight to the front seat, and the attendants shouted and started chasing people: "Get out, don't block the second master from watching the play!"

   Those fans had to stand up and give up their seats, and one by one they avoided the corner and stood listening to the play, scolding Chu Yufeng's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in their hearts. And the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the theater either left quickly or covered their faces.

   "The tortoise son of dog x, you don't get x eyes when giving birth to a baby!" Li Shoumin cursed in a low voice. He finally came to listen to the play during the holiday, and spent a lot of money to buy a seat in the front row, but was occupied by Chu Yufeng.

   Chu Yufeng raised his eyebrows and pointed at Qianfuzhi. He didn't care about being spurned by others, but he really enjoyed the feeling of being king and hegemony.

   The first play was "Taiping Bridge", Chu Yufeng was drowsy when he heard it, and when he woke up, the stage had changed to "Shilang Visits His Mother".

The little Yang Shilang, with his long beard, sang: "I remember a **** battle on the beach, only to kill the blood into rivers of bones and mountains, only to kill the Yang family's generals to flee from the east to the west, and only to kill all the Erlangs to roll off the saddle. …”

"what!"

   Chu Yufeng's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, "This old man is actually a female!"

  Du Xiaoshan immediately flattered and said, "Second Master has such good ear skills that he could actually tell that it was a woman singing."

  Chu Yufeng said proudly: "These days in the Tianbao class, I hear women sing opera every day. I have long grasped the mystery, and I can tell whether it is a male or a female."

   "Then it has to be the second master. I also listen to women singing every day, but I just can't tell the difference." Du Xiaoshan was flattering again.

   After listening to "Shirang Visits His Mother" patiently, Chu Yufeng said to Du Xiaoshan: "Come on, follow me to the backstage to see what that Yang Shilang looks like just now."

   Everyone rushed to the backstage of the troupe, but the staff couldn't stop them.

   Chu Yufeng went in and shouted loudly, "Which one sang Yang Shilang just now?"

  The troupe actors looked at each other, Meng Xiaodong bravely stood up and said, "I sang it."

   At this time, Meng Xiaodong did not remove her makeup, only took off her headgear and beard, and painted her face with oil paint. Chu Yufeng couldn't see it clearly, pointed at her and said, "Quickly wash my face!"

  Chen Xiuhua saw that something was wrong, so he asked his apprentice to go to the theater owner Liu Guangshun, and he stood up and said, "This gentleman, I am the head of the Qingyun class. I don't know what your honor is to do?"

   "It has nothing to do with you, let's go to the side," Chu Yufeng pushed Chen Xiuhua away arrogantly and continued to say to Meng Xiaodong, "Go wash your face! I would like to see what kind of woman can sing Laosheng so well."

   Meng Xiaodong still stood still, Chu Yufeng finally got angry, and pointed a gun at Chen Xiuhua's forehead: "If he doesn't obey, I will kill him!"

  Chen Xiuhua was so frightened that her forehead sweated, and all the actors gathered around, but they all dared not to speak out.

   "That's it!"

  Meng Xiaodong sat back on the dressing table to wipe off the paint, then went to wash his face, and said to Chu Yufeng with a cold face, "Sir, put away the gun."

  Chu Yufeng saw Meng Xiaodong's brows and eyes and his face like peach blossoms, his eyes straightened, and he repeatedly praised: "It's beautiful, it's beautiful, I'm good, it's so beautiful!"

   As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well.

  The bully should also pay attention to the famous teacher, otherwise it will be too ugly. Du Xiaoshan suggested next to him: "If the second master likes it, why not invite this girl to the mansion to sing twice?"

  Chu Yufeng immediately understood and said with great joy, "Yes, yes, I'm out of 500 oceans, please sing for two days."

  Meng Xiaodong politely refused: "This gentleman, thanks to the wrong love, I will have a performance in Peiping tomorrow, I am afraid I will have to wait for the next time."

   "Your performances are all cancelled," Chu Yufeng said unreasonably, "someone is here, take this girl back, I want to listen to the big show at home!"

   The followers immediately surrounded Meng Xiaodong, looking to take her away forcibly.

   At this moment, Liu Guangshun, the owner of Xinming Grand Theater, also came and quickly discouraged him: "Master Chu, they are all from his own family. For the sake of Master Li's face, forget it today."

   Li Dashuai is the sword fairy Li Jinglin, and Liu Guangshun was covered by Li Jinglin before.

It's a pity that the backing is no longer useful, Chu Yufeng smiled disdainfully: "Li Jinglin is a handsome man, and he doesn't even have soldiers under his command, so what should I use to give him face?" He laughed twice and ordered, "Take this man The girl invites me back, whoever dares to stop anyone is the Red Party!"

   Liu Guangshun and the troupe members turned pale, how dare they say nothing, watching Meng Xiaodong being taken away.

   "What should I do?" Liu Guangshun had a headache.

  Chen Xiuhua gritted his teeth and said, "I'll send a telegram to Heming (Mei Lanfang). He knows Zhang Zongchang and should be able to speak."

   Liu Guangshun also hurried out: "I'm going to find Li Dashuai!"

   But they said that Chu Yufeng and Du Xiaoshan had forcibly kidnapped Meng Xiaodong and swaggered out from the main gate. They were really not afraid of being cast aside and cursed.

"Oops!"

   Li Shoumin saw it very clearly, he and Meng Xiaodong were also friends, so naturally he couldn't ignore it. After thinking about it, Li Shoumin hurriedly went out to call a rickshaw, and rushed back to the museum to find Zhou Hexuan for help.
