　　Will crosstalk become extinct? Several years ago, people could switch on the TV and very often would find a crosstalk performance being broadcast．Today, a person could sit in front of the TV set for seven days a week,24 hours a day, and still have trouble finding a single crosstalk show．Many people who were born before the late 1970s can remember a long list of crosstalk performers：Ma Sanli, Feng Gong, Hou Yaowen, Jiang Kun, Li Jindou, Ma Ji, Niu Qun, Su Wenmao．In mid-1980s,many of these performers frequently appeared on television programmes in short comedy skits．But most of them have since disappeared from public view．Only a few－such as Feng Gong, Jiang Kun and Niu Qun－remain fresh in people’s memory thanks to their performances at China Central Television’s annual Spring Festival evening show．These performers, however, are unwilling to devote all their time to crosstalk．Feng has been trying his hand at movies, and Niu worked as a magazine editor for a while before taking up a job as deputy county magistrate in Anhui Province．

　　When the art form first made its appearance 150 years ago, performers would put on shows outside or at temple fairs．Its fans were mainly farmers, peddlers and artisans．Many old crosstalk artists performed in the Tianqiao area in old Beijing, where performances of folk art were concentrated．However, for that reason, crosstalk was looked down upon and the performances were regarded as shows for the lower classes at that time．Open-air performances also allowed interaction between artists and audiences, which helped keep the art form full of vitality．The humor of crosstalk is characterized by close observation of ordinary people’s lives．

　　While there were hundreds of full-time writers engaged in composing interesting comic routines in the 1950s, there are few professional writers of crosstalk nowadays．Almost all the former crosstalk writers have chosen to move into TV and film scripts, which makes more money and can be done more quickly as well．But there are also new crosstalk scripts, many created by amateur writers．But most of their work lacks appeal because, on the whole, it merely eulogizes what is good in Chinese society, rather than criticizing and satirizing problems, experts said．As a result, few modern crosstalk routines have become popular as the old ones．

　　Some experts have called for crosstalk to adapt to keep pace with the rapidly changing world．Crosstalk seems to have a long road ahead before it can prosper as it did in the past．
