Features: People need xiangsheng, and people will never forget xiangsheng. Time flies, and it has been a decade since my father passed away. "Hou Baolin Xiangsheng" as a precious legacy left by my late father, should have been presented to the readers long ago. It not only belongs to our Hou family but also is a great gift left by Hou Baolin for society. The compilation and publication of the "Hou Baolin Xiangsheng Masterpieces Series" may bring joy to readers who love xiangsheng and provide valuable inspiration for the inheritance of xiangsheng art. I have been performing xiangsheng and studying it my whole life. My greatest wish is to present the best art to the audience. The audience is my benefactor, my provider, and my teacher. I always feel that even if I perform xiangsheng for decades, I cannot repay the audience that has nurtured, loved, and helped me. Now, it seems I cannot fulfill this wish. I sincerely hope that the xiangsheng I love and consider my life will flourish and that more Hou Baolins will bring more joy to the people. My entire life has been dedicated to bringing laughter to the audience. If one day I must bid farewell forever, I will leave with a smile.
