Bipgraphy

Afterward she joined the music department of the Central People's Broadcasting Station and sang the New Plum Tune (新梅花調), the Xi He storytelling (西河大鼓), and the Dan Xian (單弦), etc. In 1956, she became student of Tan Fengyuan and specialized in the Tan School of the Dan Xian. In the late 1950s, she studied Suzhou pingtan (苏州評彈) with Ma Zenghui, and learned the pipa (琵琶) from Yang Zhenyan and Zhou Yunrui. She sang in Mandarin, which not only responded to the policy of popularization and pioneered the innovation of Chinese folk art, but also made an important contribution to the exchange of art between the north and the south. During the Cultural Revolution, she sentenced at the May 7 Cadre School. She was sent to the Tianjin Opera Troupe in 1972, where she stayed until her retirement in 1987. During her time in the troupe, she tutored Liu Xiumei and Cui Weili, who are now middle-generation opera singers. 罗君生. "曲苑常青树——记我的恩师赵玉明先生". Retrieved 2023-02-05 – via 《曲艺》杂志 2016年07期.
