Hou is a master (Hou was originally an apprentice, and later became an apprentice).

At the Crosstalk Gate, the tradition of accepting younger brothers has a long history. The most famous one is his father Chang, who collects "Little Mushrooms". He is Della's younger brother and an old man from Jiao Dehai who worships one of the "Eight Virtues Mutual Sounds". There are only two kinds of qualified people, whether they are apprentices or apprentices, or the top elder brothers of this sect, or the most famous and prestigious apprentices under Master. Just like when Ma Zhiming worshipped Mr. Zhu Kuoquan, the master elder brother was Mr. Wang Fengshan, who measured the works of the third master. As the founder of Wang Pai Allegro, his reputation has always been great, but among his other disciples, there is also a more famous crosstalk master Hou.

Although Hou studied art late, it did not hinder his achievements and attainments in cross talk performance. The stage experience of wandering in the rivers and lakes for decades has also been passed on to Hou without reservation. At that time, many apprentices had been accepted before learning from the teacher, which was really rare in the industry. However, there are rules for cross talk. No matter how competent the father is, if the son wants to take this job, he has to find another famous teacher. As the youngest son of the old duke, it is natural to choose him personally.

At that time, there were two people whom Hou respected and admired most, one was his uncle, and the other was the "Tian Tong League Leader", who had measured Chang's life. After liberation, when Hou resumed her performance for the second time, she personally visited Tianjin and wanted to give her some living expenses. Originally, the two had already made an appointment, but unfortunately, Mr. Zhao fell ill and died soon. This has also become a great regret for Hou. Therefore, when choosing a master for Hou, the first thing that comes to mind is the janitor, who has been dead for 20 years. Even so, the old duke insisted that his son worship Mr. Zhao, so that he could only let his fellow disciples take his younger brother to worship.

Finally, Hou decided to let Zhao Jiamen's master elder brother take Lala away. Zhao's disciples have always been very talented. In addition to Li Boxiang, there are Gao Yingpei, Chang Guitian, Wang Xianglin, Xu Dekui, Ma Zhicun, Zhang Kuiqing, Liu Guoqi and others, all of whom can show the good role of Master. Among the other disciples, only Li Boxiang studied with Master the earliest, with rich artistic experience and profound knowledge. The most important thing is living porcelain. In fact, many of Li Boxiang's classmates were in Beijing at that time, so it was more convenient for them to accept disciples and spread art. However, Hou said, "It's better to go to Tianjin to find it. He is a big brother, I can rest assured that he will treat you as a younger brother. "

During 1994, a special performance was held in China Grand Theatre to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Mr. Zhao Peiru's birth. Almost all Mr. Hou's disciples and grandchildren took part in this grand commemorative activity. Of course, Mr. Hou, who is about to join the company, also came from Beijing to congratulate him. On the third day after the event, a grand ceremony was held in a restaurant in Hedong District, Tianjin. Later, he officially joined as a teacher, and the elder brother took over as his teacher. That year, 46-year-old Hou began to learn crosstalk performances from 57-year-old Zhao Jiamen.
