The lees class
The lees class came into being in the late Qing dynasty. In 1930, Li Gongji, a member of the Li family in the northeast village, had been a partner of the lius class to do the greenhouse performance. He then separated from the lius class and set up a circus with zhai wanli (stage name zhai laoyao). Li quanfa (the son of Li Gongji) was born in 1914, had apprentice in Qiao Zhiqing when he was a child, and then learn from qiaowan xiu. Because of its intelligence and diligence, he gradually become known to everyone.
In the 1930s, Li Quanfa won a grand prize in the central national art competition held in Yuzhou. After the outbreak of the war of resistance against Japan, Li Quanfa in changge and Zhai Wanli set up the local anti-Japanese armed "anti-Japanese guard group" to fight against the Japanese invaders. Hubei Laohekou was chief theater headquarters. In the autumn of 1936, Li Quanfa performed for the anti-Japanese front-line troops. General Zhang Xueliang once admired Li Quanfa’s skills, and presented a horse, named "black tornado", and gave Li Quanfa the stage name "food package".
In 1942, Li quanfa went to Kaifeng, the provincial capital, to join the "fuqing circus" headed by Zhao Zhanbiao, and traveled throughout the southwest, northwest and central plains with the group. At the end of 1950, Li Quanfa separated from Zhao Zhanbiao's "Fuqing circus". In that year, Li Quanfa was formally established as the head of the "peace art troupe" in Hanzhong, southern shaanxi, with more than 40 performers and staff. In 1953, Li Quanfa resolutely led the "peace national arts group" back to Puyang to accept the incorporation, and established the Puyang red flag acrobatics group, and later became the Anyang area acrobatics group.
