Biography

Feng Gong was born Feng Mingguang (冯明光) in Tianjin, China, on December 6, 1957, [1] the son of Feng Haigang (冯海岗; 1920–1993), a local government official, and Liu Yisu (刘益素; born 1921), a daughter of an eminent family.

Then he started to learn the arts of xiangsheng from the xiangsheng master Ma Ji. He also worked in a textiles machine factory. Feng was considered more talented than many other students of Ma Ji, and eventually emerged as a new star, performing progressively to bigger venues. Niu Qun (牛群) and Liu Wei (刘伟) were his partners when performing xiangsheng.

Feng appeared in the first CCTV New Year's Gala in 1986; he has appeared at almost every Chunwan performance for the next thirty years, variably in skits and xiangsheng. Feng is usually one of the first acts of the show; it is said he appears earlier in the program so that he can drive home to Tianjin to spend midnight on new year with his mother. [2]
