Like many people, Yue started to learn crosstalk as a survival (生存) skill in Beijing at 18. He was not well educated because he left school at 14. But he worked hard to catch up. He even stood outside in winter to read the newspaper in order to improve his crosstalk. He imitated (模仿) actors in theaters while doing part-time jobs there. 　　

Gradually, he created his own style. His jokes are mean, but in a funny way. He often adds his own Henan dialect (方言) to classic crosstalk works. He uses interesting language, funny expressions and body languages to make people laugh easily. His “My God” expression, with open-wide small eyes and hands on his mouth, has turned into a popular emoji(表情).

It’s very important to protect our environment because it is good for our health. We are living on the earth and we have only one earth.

What should we do for it? I think the following are necessary. We should pick up rubbish and throw it into the dustbin, and we should collect waste things, such as battery, plastic bags and so on. We should plant more trees, flowers and grass. We shouldn’t litter everywhere.

It’s our duty to keep our environment clean. If everyone can do like this, our world will become much more beautiful.
