Tang Jiezhong, one of China's top cross-talk artists, died in Beijing on 18 June 2017. The 85-year-old had worked with a number of outstanding comedians throughout his career, including Ma Ji and Jiang Kun.
Tang made a great contribution to the Chinese cross-talk. In his performances, he played many different funny characters very vividly. For instance, he imitated different singing styles to make people laugh.
My favourite Tang Jiezhong's work is The Reverie in the Tiger's Den(《虎口遐想》) with Jiang Kun. A twenty-eight lad was trapped in the tiger's den by mistake, which caused a series of funny daydreams. And many people tried their best to rescue him. I adored their performing style and humour.
Tang dedicated his life to the cross-talk career. He performed many times in a row at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. He is really a great cross-talk performer.
