in march 2011, a special funeral was held at tianshou cemetery in changping, beijing. the ashes of crosstalk master hou yaowen were finally laid to rest nearly four years after his death.

the atmosphere was solemn yet slightly strange. participants had smiles on their faces, as if they were celebrating something happy.

behind this belated funeral, there is a turbulent family dispute. after hou yaowen's death, his eldest daughter hou zan and his second uncle hou yaohua went to court over the inheritance issue, which became a hot topic in the entertainment industry for a while.

let us go back in time and re-examine this dramatic family story. in this dispute, we not only see the open and covert struggles in the world of fame and fortune, but also get a glimpse of the complexity of human nature and the preciousness of family affection.

this story may give us some thoughts about life, family and wealth.

hou yaowen was born in a crosstalk family in beijing in 1948. his father was hou baolin, a master of crosstalk, which destined hou yaowen to have an indissoluble bond with the art of crosstalk.

however, his father did not want his son to get involved in crosstalk too early, believing that he should lay a solid cultural foundation first.

but the seeds of art had already taken root in hou yaowen's heart. he secretly listened to his father's teachings and secretly figured out the crosstalk techniques. in order to avoid his father's eyes and ears, the young hou yaowen gave himself a stage name "little brother" and began to make a name for himself in the school's amateur performance team.

his first performance was at the workers' club, where he performed his father's classic work "drunk". however, the performance did not receive the applause he had hoped for. after reflection, hou yaowen realized that it was indeed inappropriate for a 12-year-old child to talk about drinking, so he adjusted his strategy and chose the more suitable traditional crosstalk "eight screens", which finally won the audience's recognition.

at the age of 17, hou yaowen joined the china railway art troupe by chance and officially embarked on the road of crosstalk art. here he met his tacit partner shi fukuan, and the two worked together to create popular works such as "the money-loving father-in-law", "wise and courageous", and "talks on opera", which won wide acclaim.

in 1979, hou yaowen, whose career was at its peak, married dancer liu yan, and their daughter hou zan was born the following year. however, his busy performance life made it difficult for him to take care of his family, which laid the hidden danger for future conflicts between father and daughter.

hou yaowen shines brightly on the crosstalk stage, creates many classic works, and becomes a leader in the contemporary crosstalk world. but on the stage of life, he faces the most difficult role to play - how to be a competent father.

this character's frustration eventually became the biggest regret of his life, and also laid the groundwork for future family disputes.

hou yaowen and liu yan's marriage came to an end in 1982. hou zan, who was only 2 years old, lived with her mother. the lack of fatherly love cast a shadow on her young heart.

at school, she was often ridiculed and discriminated against by her classmates because she "did not have a father". this painful experience planted resentment towards her father in hou zan's heart, but she also longed for his love.

during her adolescence, hou zan's attitude towards her father was complex and contradictory. she refused to mention her father on the surface, but secretly paid attention to his every move. however, fate always seemed to be against her.

in 1993, 13-year-old hou zan accidentally read the news of his father's remarriage in the newspaper. the 25-year-old bride, yuan yin, was not much older than hou zan, and this fact was a great blow to the girl.

soon after, her father had a new daughter, niuniu. seeing her father holding her sister happily, hou zan felt that she was completely abandoned. from then on, she built an invisible high wall against her father and refused any care and contact from him.

whenever her father appeared, she would turn away without hesitation.

however, fate sometimes favors kind people. many years later, hou zan was hospitalized due to illness. upon hearing the news, his father hou yaowen rushed over immediately and waited outside the ward day and night.

when hou zan opened the door and saw her exhausted father, the ice in her heart finally melted. she choked up and called out "dad" after years of repression. the father and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. the 14-year estrangement was resolved at this moment.

this hard-won reconciliation made the father and daughter cherish it even more. however, fate played a cruel joke again. on june 23, 2007, hou yaowen suddenly passed away, leaving behind infinite regrets and a legacy of tens of millions.

hou zan had to face the reality in grief, and her life was about to face new challenges.

this ups and downs of the father-daughter relationship not only reflects hou zan's inner conflicts and struggles, but also reflects the common psychology of children in many divorced families. it took hou zan 14 years to go from resentment to reconciliation.

however, the impermanence of life makes this hard-earned family affection particularly precious.

hou yaowen's sudden death not only brought endless grief to hou zan, but also involved her in an unexpected inheritance dispute. in february 2009, a subpoena from the court broke hou zan's peaceful life.

the bank required her and her sister niuniu to jointly bear the mortgage loan owed by their father during his lifetime. the quarterly repayment amount of up to 200,000 yuan made her feel extremely stressed.

faced with this sudden huge debt, hou zan, who had not yet inherited her father's estate, was in a dilemma. after careful consideration, she decided to find out the status of her father's estate through legal means.

this decision was like a bombshell, completely detonating the already complicated family relationships.

hou zan and his sister niuniu jointly sued his second uncle hou yaohua, niu zhicheng, guo xiaoxiao and his wife, and others, demanding that they return all their property. this lawsuit immediately attracted the attention of the entire crosstalk community and became the focus of public discussion.

in this battle for inheritance, guo degang, the owner of deyun club, stepped forward and publicly expressed his support for hou zan. he published a fierce article on his personal blog, questioning the whereabouts of hou yaowen's tens of millions of inheritance and the whereabouts of precious jewelry, watches, jade and other valuable items.

his statement undoubtedly added fuel to the dispute.

however, things were not as simple as they seemed. hou yaohua also fought back, suing hou zan in the name of the court, demanding the return of the money used to buy the car.

this move revealed the complex family relationships of the hou family and also allowed the public to see the helplessness behind celebrity inheritance disputes.

in june 2010, the much-anticipated hou yaowen inheritance case finally went to trial. however, the trial process was not smooth, and both parties were deadlocked. the turning point of the case came two months later, when hou yaohua showed photos of hou yaowen's nails cut after his death, the tense atmosphere suddenly eased, and the case began to move towards an out-of-court settlement.

this inheritance dispute not only exposed the internal contradictions of the hou family, but also reflected the society's concern about the distribution of celebrity inheritance. it reminds us that even in the grief of the death of a loved one, the distribution of property is still a realistic issue that cannot be ignored.

at the same time, this dispute also shows us that family affection is often severely tested when faced with huge inheritances.

a special day arrived at the tianshou cemetery in changping, beijing in march 2011. on this spring day, the ashes of crosstalk master hou yaowen finally came to rest.

this moment not only marks hou yaowen's final destination, but also an important moment of family reconciliation.

during the solemn burial ceremony, people witnessed a touching scene. hou yaohua hugged hou zan tightly and kissed her forehead gently. this simple but warm gesture instantly resolved years of estrangement and misunderstanding.

the uncle and nephew, who were once incompatible, put aside all their prejudices at this moment, and family affection finally defeated the disputes over money and interests.

in response to reporters' questions, hou yaohua summed up the reconciliation with a humorous remark: "god will forgive young people for their mistakes." this line from the tv series "the story of the editorial department" not only resolved the family conflict, but also brought this long-lasting inheritance dispute to a successful conclusion.

guo degang, the owner of deyun club, was praised for his behavior during this storm. he purchased hou yaowen's villa in rose garden at a high price of 30 million yuan, which was higher than the market price, and took practical actions to help hou zan overcome the difficulties.

this action not only reflected his deep respect for his mentor, but also demonstrated his loyalty and responsibility, winning wide praise from the public.

hou zan remembered guo degang's help. in 2015, when someone maliciously spread rumors that there was a conflict between them, hou zan did not hesitate to give guo degang the precious seal left by his father.

this action is not only a powerful response to the rumors, but also a solemn declaration of this precious friendship.

this inheritance dispute that lasted for four years finally ended in reconciliation. it was not only the resolution of a family conflict, but also a victory for the bright side of human nature. in the contest between money and family affection, the hou family finally chose family affection.

this ending may be exactly what the late hou yaowen wanted to see most.

time flies. hou zan, who was once involved in a family inheritance dispute, is now in her forties. at the age of 42, she finally ushered in a peaceful and happy life. after experiencing the ups and downs of life, hou zan seems to have found her inner balance and opened a new chapter in her life.

hou zan and her husband ye enhua have formed a happy family and have a lovely daughter, wo wo. this warm little family has, to some extent, made up for the regret of her lack of fatherly love in her childhood.

the sweetness of life seemed to be a compensation for the suffering she had experienced.

in april 2021, a surprising scene appeared on the stage of deyun club's gengzi closing performance. hou zan's daughter wo wo came on stage to present flowers to guo degang. this scene not only showed the close relationship between the two families, but also showed the deep connection between the new generation of the hou family and the crosstalk world.

two months later, a heartwarming photo circulated online. in the photo, guo degang's youngest son guo fenlang and wo wo stood together, with guo fenlang's hand gently resting on wo wo's shoulder, and both children's faces were filled with innocent smiles.

this photo not only reflects the close relationship between the two families, but also allows people to see the friendly interaction of the new generation.

five months later, hou zan's photo with guo degang and yu qian attracted attention again. in the photo, hou zan has an outstanding temperament, and time seems to be particularly kind to her. her smile is elegant and calm, and her eyes reveal the peace after experiencing vicissitudes of life.

this photo seems to be a perfect annotation of her life experience.
