The story of Abing’s busking:
He returned to Xicheng in the 28th year of the Republic of China and resumed his old business. He went to the teahouse every morning to collect various news, came back to conceive and create, and sang in front of the Chong'an Temple teahouse in the afternoon. Playing the erhu on the street at night, playing "Cold Spring Wind" composed by him.
His piano skills are very superb. He can place the pipa on his head and play it. He can also use the erhu to imitate the sounds of men, women, old and young talking, sighing, laughing, and the sounds of cocks and dogs.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was banned from rapping news in a fixed place in Chong'an Temple. In the 36th year of the Republic of China, he suffered from lung disease and was bedridden and vomited blood. From then on, he stopped performing on the streets and repaired the huqin as a business at home, and his days were like years.
Extended information:
A Bing’s life is like a drama, full of ups and downs. It is said that the only surviving image of his life is a standard photo on the good citizen certificate during the Japanese and puppet rule of Wuxi.
In the photo, the face of the skinny middle-aged man with blind glasses and a worn felt hat reveals the hardship and vicissitudes of life. This illegitimate son of Hua Qinghe was deprived of the right of family love from birth.
When his biological mother had no choice but to end her own life to resist the discrimination of the world, some hidden parts of the child's character were already visible.
After being fostered outside for several years, a young man returns to his biological father Hua Qinghe. Wherever he sees, there may be more incomprehensible doubts. We know from the information that he called his father, a Taoist priest, "Master".
Hua Qinghe, who called himself Xuemei, was proficient in various musical instruments. A Bing studied hard and practiced hard, and soon mastered it skillfully. At this moment, A Bing still thinks that he is just an orphan being cared for by kind-hearted people.
