Although therere hundreds of traditional pieces, they are constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. Its one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.“Crosstalk was in the doldrums(萎靡不振) with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Art School of China( NSAS) . “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware(意识到) of its rare qualities.”“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang. “They are sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”24.
