The Story of Wu Song - Chinese Quyi
 
   

The Story of Wu Song is one of representative works of Shandong Kuaishu by noted Shuochang artist Gao Yuanjun.

The Story of Wu Song was derived from the novel Shui Hu (Outlaws in the Marsh). The story has 16 chapters and tells the life of the hero Wu Song from his birth to how he was forced by cruel officials to become an outlaw. The story is full of humor, and exudes a clear sense of right and wrong. The episode Wu Song Fights the Tiger, also called Mt. Jingyang, was one of the most popular episodes. The whole script was published by the Chinese Quyi Publishing House in 1987.

The performance of The Story of Wu Song thoroughly demonstrates Gao Yuanjun's relaxed and witty narrative and singing styles. Shandong Kuaishu's language is full of local flavor, so his performance makes one feel that it is very simple and intimate. Gao has written books such as A Random Discussion on Shandong Kuaishu and Shandong Kuaishu and I. The scripts compiled and performed by him have been published in a book entitled Selected Items of Gao Yuanjun's Shandong Kuaishu.
