早年,我曾随孟小冬学戏,她经常带我去余叔岩先生家里听课。当时我尚年幼,对他的艺术还不能全部理解。但对余先生的革新精神,以及他在表演上注重从人物出发,强调“心有人,艰有神”等一系列指教,至今记忆犹新。 Early years, I had studied with Meng Xiaodong, she often took me to Mr. Yu Shuyan home class. At that time I was still young and could not fully understand his art. However, he still remembers a series of enlightenments to Mr. Yu’s innovative spirit, as well as his emphasis on performing himself from the perspective of characters and stressing that “there are people who are in trouble and are in need of hardships”.
