Wele to the show!Cao Jun: Thanks, it is great to be here!Laura: Can you tell us a little bit about crosstalk?Cao Jun: Of course! Crosstalk began during the Qing Dynasty, over 150 years ago. Performers then traveled between villages and did small ic performances. People liked these small ic performances very much. Eventually, some of the performers became quite famous. For may years, you could turn on the radio at anytime and hear people doing crosstalk in China. Now, the best time to see or heart crosstalk is in television during the Spring Festival.Laura: What happens during a crosstalk performance?Cao Jun: Crosstalk involves talking, imitating, telling jokes and singing. The talking is normally between two performers, who use language in clever ways that make people laugh. There is also a one-person form of crosstalk, and it is also sometimes done by three or more people. Unlike Western stand-up edy, where edians tell jokes that are only loosely related, a crosstalk performer tells a whole story. It has a clear beginning, middle and end. Laura: Most of our English audience has never heard about crosstalk, so this is all new to them.Cao Jun: Yes, that is because crosstalk is always done in Chinese. Crosstalk is not performed in English, and you must understand both the Chinese language and Chinese culture to understand the humor in it.Laura: Well, Cao Jun, that is just another reason for people to study Chinese!Cao Jun: Yes, it is.Laura: Thanks for joining us in the show.Cao Jun: My pleasure.I will play the tape again for you to check.Answers:B 2 None of the crosstalk performers became famous. some 3 For many years, you could turn on the TV at any time and find a crosstalk performance. radio 4 A crosstalk performance involves talking, imitating, singing and dancing. telling jokes 5 Crosstalk can be done by two people only. one person, two people, three people or more 6 If you listen to a crosstalk performance, you will hear part of a story. a whole story 7 Crosstalk is sometimes performed in English. never8 You don not need to understand the Chinese language and Chinese culture to enjoy crosstalk. must3 Please check the answers that you have got to the questions in Part A to see if there are some questions to which you have not found the answers.

Crosstalk is a traditional form of Chinese edy, which began during the Qing Dynasty. At that time, performers traveled between villages and did small ic performances.You asked me about different parts of crosstalk performance. It can be done by one person, two people, three people or more, and involves singing, telling jokes and talking. The talking is normally between two performers, who twist their language in way that make people laugh. There is also a one-person form of crosstalk, and it is occasionally done by three or more people. You can hear a whole story if you listen to a crosstalk performance. It has an obvious beginning, middle and end.You wanted to know something about famous crosstalk performers, living and dead. One of the first crosstalk artists was Zhu Shaowen, whose stage name was Qiongbupa, or Poor-but-proud in English. The most important master is Hou Baolin, who died in 1993. another one named Ma Sanli was from a famous crosstalk family, whose grandfather, father and brother were all crosstalk performers. He died in 2003. there are quite a few famous crosstalk artists loved by the Chinese people and they are still active on stage, such as Jiang Kun, Feng Gong and Niu Qun. Now there are also some famous foreign crosstalk performers, among whom is Da Shan from Canada. A lot of Chinese know him and like his performance very much.As for where one can here it or see it, we often listen to it on the radio or TV. The best time to see or hear crosstalk is on television during the Spring Festival.You asked if you could learn it outside of China and if you needed to speak Chinese to enjoy crosstalk. You hardly get the chance to learn crosstalk outside of China. And if you want to enjoy it, you must be able to speak Chinese. Now in Beijing, a famous crosstalk master Ding Guangquan gives lessons to foreigners. He was one of Hou Baolins students and has been teaching foreigners to perform since 1989. If you want to know more about Chinese crosstalk, just e-mail me.Yours, (students own name)3 Finish the note in part A on page 106 in workbook after listening to the recordings.
