Why did Zhang Yunlei dare not sing the full version of Exploring Qingshui River? What is the historical story of this "song"?

Anyone who has heard Zhang Yunlei sing "Exploring Qingshui River" knows that it is a very beautiful Beijing dialect. Almost every time he performs a special cross talk, he will sing the climax of this little song for the audience when he comes back. Many people also say that Exploring Qingshui River is Zhang Yunlei's masterpiece, and he sings this little song so well, but in fact, the original version of Exploring Qingshui River is not like this.

For a time, this Beijing ditty was almost lost, and few people sang it. As we all know, Zhang Yunlei, as a crosstalk performer, also has the responsibility of inheriting art. In order to make most modern people accept traditional tunes, he changed "Exploring Qingshui River" and combined this song with a folk guitar, so this version of "Exploring Qingshui River" came into being.

But many people find that he only sings a part in almost every scene and has never heard the full version. In fact, the full version of Tan Qingshui River tells a sad story about the love between Brother Liu and Da Lian mentioned in the lyrics. In the late Qing Dynasty, Da Lian's parents didn't care about her marriage.

So she fell in love with Xiao Liu in the same village, but she didn't advocate free love at that time, so she felt that such a thing was inappropriate and forced them to break up. Da Lian jumped into the river because he was betrothed to someone else, and Brother Six jumped in after knowing this, so there was the story of "both jumping into the river" and the double suicide of two people in the lyrics.
