我从唱评剧那天开始,就感到评剧的板式、曲牌、唱腔太少,它须增添新的曲牌、板式,丰富唱腔。在旧社会,象我这样的小演员,在保守势力压制下是无法能实现自己的想法的。那时,当我在唱时有意识地甩掉那种大口落子、拔高音,冒尖声、拉长腔的方法时,就曾受到过很多欺压。有一次我唱了一个小花腔,气得打鼓佬摔掉鼓楗子不打了,拉板胡的琴师也放下板胡不给拉了。接着,舆论就出来了:“新凤霞是小胡天,小磨气儿,外国货不是评剧的事儿!” Starting from the day I sang Pingju, I felt that there were too many plates, songs and airs in the Pingju opera. It needed to add new songs, plates and rich aria. In the old society, little performers such as myself could not fulfill their own ideas under the pressure of conservative forces. At that time, when I was singing, I consciously got rid of the kind of bully, rattling, screaming, lengthening the cavity, and I was heavily bullied. Once I sang a small flower chamber, angry drummer fell off the drums raccoon is not playing, pulling the board of the piano teacher also let go of the board does not pull. Then, the media came out: “Xin Feng Xia is Xiao Hu days, a small grinder, foreign goods is not a matter of Pingju opera!”
