When it comes to a popular actor in my country, I could say without doubt that Zhao Benshan is one of the most popular comic actors in China. To begin with, I will start by saying how I knew him. Since 1987 when he was recommended to the CCTV New Year’s Gala for the first time, he has appeared in each Gala show until 2011. In fact, Zhao is a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, nearly everyone in my country knows him. Going onto my next point of his comedy works, I want to say there are plenty of them. His well-known performances include "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow", and "Fix Up the House". In addition, he has also appeared as an actor in many films, including Zhang Yimou's "Happy Times" in 2000, where he played an aging bachelor dying to get hitched. Lastly, I want to explain why he is so popular. Frankly speaking, Zhao is really talented in acting. He was orphaned when he was little. Apprenticed to his uncle, he learned many local traditional performance arts, including erhu and Er Ren Zhuan, which laid a solid foundation for his performing career. On the other hand, he is really a prolific comedy actor as he has performed at the annual event for 18 years in a row, and all of his short sketches are hilarious while thought-provoking. All in all, Zhao Benshan is a pioneer for Chinese traditional comedy, and it’s impossible for people to have a good understanding of it without knowing him.
