As early as a year ago, China famous actor Guo wanted to find a new partner. Because his original partner, Li Xi, the actor of the first generation of "Little Erhei", had a long voice and could no longer perform on stage, Liu Shiming was transferred to Chinese opera. As the actor of the second generation of "Xiao erhei", Liu Shiming and Guo performed the opera "The Marriage of Xiao erhei" together.
At that time, Liu Shiming was only in his early twenties, with no stage experience and great pressure. Guo is very strict with new partners, and many new partners have been eliminated, so Liu Shiming is very upset.
Supposedly, if an actor changes his position, he will have a knot in his heart more or less, but Li Xi is generous.
He patiently taught Liu Shiming lines and dance steps, and even taught Xiao erhei how to wear a headscarf. Liu Shiming can see that Li Xi is a very kind and brave eldest brother, and his heart is full of emotion and admiration.

After the divorce, a good-hearted person introduced Liu Shiming to the object, but he never met a heterosexual who could let him enter the marriage.
A few years later, because the opera brought him too much passion and enjoyment, Liu Shiming gradually became less concerned about remarriage. He feels that a person's life is quite good, there is no contradiction between husband and wife, and there is no interruption of family chores, so he can do his career wholeheartedly.
The operas performed with Guo, such as Marriage of Little Erhei, Yuan and White-haired Girl, caused great repercussions and won many performance awards and merit awards from the Ministry of Culture.
