Renowned Crosstalk Artist and National Class One Actor Jiang Kun Visits Yingliang Group for Exchange and Discussion

In 1983, Jiang Kun made his debut on the stage of the first CCTV Spring Festival Gala, pioneering the role of host alongside Ma Ji, Liu Xiaoqing, and Wang Jingyu. He broke the traditional "announcer" model, using humor and interaction to enliven the atmosphere and bring joy to the people of the nation. Since then, he has become an indispensable part of everyone's memories. Beginning in 1996, he collaborated with Teacher Dai Zhicheng on stage, accompanying us through many reunions. Today, these two veteran artists, along with their friends, stepped out of our memories and into Yingliang Group.

On June 22, renowned crosstalk artist and national class one actor Jiang Kun, crosstalk actor of the China Broadcasting Art Troupe and national class one actor Dai Zhicheng, comedic performance artist and national class one actors Liu Quanhe and Liu Quanli, among others, visited Yingliang Group for a tour and exchange. Liu Liang, Chairman of Yingliang Group; Niu Kecheng, Executive Director of Yingliang Museum; and Han Guoliang, Deputy General Manager of Warehouse No. 5, warmly welcomed the artists and accompanied them throughout the visit.

The artists first entered the Fujian Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum, where they were immediately captivated by its unique atmosphere. The scientific and professional nature of the exhibits impressed them greatly, and they often paused to listen attentively and observe closely, highly praising the museum's efforts in the preservation of stone culture.

In the museum's fossil and mineral restoration laboratory, professional restorers were focused and meticulous in their work. Jiang Kun and his group were amazed by the advanced restoration equipment and the restorers' exquisite skills. They deeply appreciated the dedication and effort that researchers put into presenting the mysteries of ancient life from billions of years ago and protecting natural historical relics.

After leaving the museum, Jiang Kun and his group visited the Global Stone Material Selection Center, Warehouse No. 5. Here, they were shown a variety of exquisite stone crafts, each piece and space embodying unique artistic craftsmanship. The textures and colors of the stones appeared to the artists as a canvas created by nature. They praised the superb craftsmanship of these art pieces, marveling at how stone could be presented in such a wonderful artistic form.

During the visit, both parties engaged in friendly exchanges. Jiang Kun expressed that this visit to Yingliang Group gave him a new understanding of stone. Whether it was the display of stone culture in the Yingliang Museum or the production of stone crafts in Warehouse No. 5, everything was closely connected to art. This cross-disciplinary artistic form broadened his understanding of art. Chairman Liu Liang also expressed his honor in hosting such accomplished artists and hoped to draw on the valuable experiences from the art community to inspire the development of the enterprise. He also looked forward to more interactions and exchanges with the artists in the future.

As a benchmark enterprise in the Chinese stone industry, Yingliang Group continues to uphold the philosophy of "heritage and innovation," constantly exploring the depth and breadth of stone culture. In the future, we look forward to collaborating and exchanging ideas with more experts, scholars, and artists in the cultural and artistic fields, jointly exploring the infinite possibilities of stone art, promoting stone culture to a broader stage, and contributing to the high-quality development of the Chinese stone industry.
