Feng Gong

Feng Gong fascinates me because he is, in a real sense, the sound of a Chinese New Year. Born in Tianjin in 1957, he has appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala more than any other major performer, which means he has helped open the country's most-watched evening year after year. That's not just popularity, it's becoming part of a ritual. The 1998 Golden Rooster for Best Actor proves he can do more than land a punchline, and his work as director and screenwriter shows real craft. Comedy rarely travels across borders, yet his durability tells me he understood his audience better than almost anyone.

Feng Gong (simplified Chinese: 冯巩; traditional Chinese: 馮鞏; pinyin: Féng Gǒng; born 6 December 1957) is a Chinese actor, xiangsheng performer, director, screenwriter and politician. He is best known for his performances in the annual CCTV New Year's Gala, having made more appearances on the show than every other major performer.
