“红墙”里的演出在中南海演出,毛主席或周总理的秘书事先都会跟我们交代,你们不要演平时公演的节目,你们演出的目的就是要他们得到很好的休息、放松。因此,我们准备的都是传统的段子,真正幽默的作品。毛主席的秘书就曾对我说,主席最喜欢你的《装小嘴》,有时你不去,他还让我们放录音给他听。毛主席喜欢的段子还有《拔牙》,侯宝林、刘宝瑞、常宝华和我都给主席说过。有一次我和常宝霆进中南海演出,他问演什么节目好,我建议他演《拔牙》,主席听过不同版本的《拔牙》,但仍然很喜欢。 “Red Wall ” in the performance of performances in Zhongnanhai, Chairman Mao or Premier Zhou will be in advance with us to explain to you, you should not play the usual performance of the show, your performance is designed to get them a good rest, relax. Therefore, we are prepared by the traditional paragraphs, the real work of humor. Chairman Mao’s secretary once said to me that the chairman most likes your “fake mouth”, and sometimes you do not go. He also lets us put a recording to him. Chairman Mao likes to have “Tooth extraction”, Hou Baolin, Liu Baorui, Chang Baohua and I have said to the chairman. Once I played at Zhongnanhai with Chang Bao-ting, I asked him to play a good show. I suggested that he play “Tooth extraction” and the chairman heard different versions of “Tooth extraction” but still liked it very much.
