Mr. Ma Sanli, Hui nationality, was born in Beijing in 1914, and his ancestral home was in Yongchang County, Gansu Province. He was born in a family of quyi. His grandfather, Ma Chengfang, was a famous storyteller and was famous for saying "Water Margin". His father, Ma Delu, was one of the "Eight Virtues of Crosstalk" and was also the favorite disciple and son-in-law of Enxu, a senior crosstalk artist; His mother, En Cuiqing, once learned to sing Beijing-style drum; his brother, Ma Guiyuan, learned from Li Dexi, and is famous for being good at performing "Wen Xing" jokes. Ma Sanli studied since childhood and studied at Tianjin Huiwen Middle School. His family environment has made him very familiar with the art of cross talk since he was a child. Under the influence of my father and brother, I have laid a deep foundation in "speaking","learning","teasing" and "singing". After graduating from junior high school, Ma Sanli dropped out of school to talk about cross talk due to his poor family background. Ma Sanli began to perform on stage in 1930 and became his teacher as Zhou Deshan (Zhou Toad). Zhou Deshan is Ma Delu's senior brother and one of the "Eight Virtues of Crosstalk". After long-term artistic practice, Ma Sanli has formed a style that is tight on the inside and loose on the outside, methodical, delicate in performance, and implicit and meaningful. Ma Sanli has a solid artistic foundation and is well-known. He is good at performing "Guankou" and literary comedy, such as "Kuating a Residence","Geographical Map","Eating Lantern Festival","Writing Club", etc. Before the founding of New China, Ma Sanli partnered with Geng Baolin, Liu Kuizhen, Hou Yichen and Zhang Qingsen. After the founding of New China, he actively compiled and performed new cross talk. In 1952, he took the initiative to apply to join a condolence group to North Korea. After returning to China, he joined the Tianjin Radio Quyi Troupe, committed to rectifying the old and innovating cross talk. Later, he transferred to Tianjin City Quyi Troupe. He created, adapted and performed sixty or seventy new cross talk programs, including "Buy Monkeys","Start at Ten O'clock","Folk Prescriptions to Treat Diseases","Guess the Name of the Play","People Who Deja Djour Djus", etc. In 1957, he was mistakenly classified as a rightist and returned to work in the League in the spring of 1961. In his long stage career, Ma Sanli has experienced hardships and hardships. He has unswervingly used cross talk as a weapon to satirize fake, evil, and ugliness, and praise truth, goodness and beauty. Over the years, Ma Sanli has also trained many cross-talk actors such as Yan Xiaoru, Ban Bangui, Lian Xiaokun, Fang Xiaotian, Chang Baohua, and Gao Xiaolin. Ma Sanli served the people diligently and conscientiously and served socialism. He was loved by the masses and enjoyed a fairly high reputation at home and abroad. He inherits his family's knowledge, draws on the strengths of others, inherits the past and connects the future, and forms a unique artistic style and promotes the development of cross talk art. He is worthy of being a contemporary cross talk master and humor master. Two years ago, Ma Sanli was in poor physical condition. Under the careful care of medical staff and relatives and friends, and with the strong support of the old man's open-minded outlook on life, he defeated the disease many times. During this period, he still ignored his physical discomfort and was busy with the follow-up cause of crosstalk and social welfare undertakings.
