What is the dispute between Tianjin crosstalk actor Guo Degang and his teacher Yang Zhigang?

First of all, the trigger for this incident was in early 2006, when Yang Zhigang accepted an interview with the "Daily News". He appeared in front of the media as Master Guo Degang. He talked about how he discovered and developed this very promising young man. If he had told the story, perhaps there would not have been the subsequent quarrel, but he went on to point out that Guo Degang had forgotten his roots and ungratefulness, and did not recognize himself as his master.

Here, a time background must be introduced. When Mr. Yang said these words, Guo Moruo had been studying with Hou Yaowen for a year and a half. Moreover, Yang and Guo have not been together for several years.

After this interview, Mr. Yang issued several statements in the media.

After this interview, Mr. Yang issued several statements in the media, all of which accused Guo Degang.

"Daily News" is affiliated to Tianjin Daily Newspaper Group, which has more than a dozen media companies. At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, so "Daily News" was published locally in Tianjin. The influence is still great. But precisely because the Internet was underdeveloped, Guo Moruo did not know Yang's remarks immediately.

But after all, you are an insider and you can’t hear it. You can’t have someone tell you in your ear. Guo Degang still knew. At first, he ignored it. There are three reasons. First, I feel that neither the younger generation nor the elders will think that the younger generation is justified, because the other party has already stood on the moral high ground. Second, this kind of thing is very embarrassing. After all, it is the comedy circle's own business. The more we break up, the more embarrassing it becomes. Third, he is also very busy

But Teacher Yang is getting more and more topics in the media. Guo Degang's silence made the situation more and more serious. People around Guo Degang advised him that if you don't accept interviews or speak out about this matter, the public will not think you are generous, but will think it is a fact, and you will suffer a loss. It is impossible for the media to understand the situation from your side, and they will inevitably base themselves on the other party's content. Therefore, speaking from the other party's perspective, you will be more passive.

These words resonated with Guo Jingming, but unlike Mr. Yang, he was not a member of the system. So he chose the Internet. In "My Name is Guo Degang" published on his website in March 2006, he told his past experiences with Mr. Yang without mentioning his name but his official position.

I, an outsider, don’t know whether the things inside are right or wrong. But there is a problem that can be solved here, that is why Guo Degang does not recognize Yang Guo as his master.

First, Guo Degang did not formally worship Yang Zhigang as his disciple according to the cross talk apprenticeship ceremony. This is very important in the cross talk community. There is no ceremony to accept Yang Zhigang as a teacher, which is like getting married without getting a marriage certificate. You must ask guests and friends to inform you, otherwise it will not be a marriage of a female college student, and it will be in name only. The folks don’t know what you and this woman are doing, whether you’re staying for one night and then leaving, or whether you’re staying for three to five years.

When Guo Degang was growing up, there were many people worth learning from, such as cross talk seniors such as Ma Zhiming and Chang Baofeng. However, because he has never been a disciple, he cannot be regarded as a master, but can only be regarded as a teacher.

2. While working in the Cultural Management Office, Guo Degang planned to become Yang Zhigang’s disciple. Because Yang Zhigang is indeed very kind to himself, and Yang Zhigang is an absolute great leader, he is called a leadership master and cannot suffer any disadvantages. Moreover, Yang Zhigang and Guo Degang's adoptive father Huang Jinlai were brothers in the same school. With this relationship, it was justifiable for Guo Degang to call Yang Zhigang Master.

But Yang Zhigang refused.

Yang Zhigang believed that he held a leadership position in a state agency after all, and this would not have a good impact, so he wanted to wait until he had the opportunity to become a disciple and then let Guo Degang call him master. He asked Guo Degang to call him husband first. Later, due to the decoration matter, there was a conflict and they fell apart. So Guo Degang never called Yang Zhigang Master.

Let’s look at this article published by Guo Degang. There are many words that are unfavorable to Yang Zhigang. Yang Zhigang was immediately angered. He immediately summoned lawyers and local media colleagues to sue Guo Degang for defamation. and demand compensation. Yang Zhigang filed a civil lawsuit against him. This is the rhythm that puts Guo Degang in jail.

Within a week of Yang Zhigang’s complaint, public opinion spread against Guo Degang in the form of bricks. According to Guo Degang himself, the contract amount he lost this week was 1.7 million yuan. This is a big loss for Guo Degang, who has just started.

Everyone knows the subsequent result. The court did not find Guo Degang guilty of defamation because of his remarks.

Guo Degang, who was originally willing to compromise, would not give up even if he broke out. No matter how the court sentenced him, he just opened his mouth to say what he wanted to say, and he wanted to say it happily. At the end of the same year, when he participated in a talk show, he broke the news again, and they were all death words.

He said: "If it was not for fame, why did he say these things to the media? If it was not for fame, why did he hold a press conference? If it was not for profit, why did he first claim to be three million "If it wasn't for profit, why did I lower the price to the current 200,000 yuan? I don't understand these things."

After hearing what Guo Degang said, Mr. Yang immediately went crazy and threatened to hire five people. Ten media held press conferences. In short, we have not experienced the matter and cannot explain it clearly.

Ten years have passed. The stars are still the same stars, and the moon is still the same moon. I wonder what everyone thinks about this matter? Comments welcome.
