Mimi Wu, the comedienne, Paradise Memorial Museum

Famous comedian Wu Meimei died of illness at noon on the 25th day of this month in Shanghai, at the age of 95.

Wu Meimei was from Nanjing, Jiangsu. She started her artistic career at the age of 16 and apprenticed under Wu Yixiao, a civilized drama artist. She became an overnight sensation by playing Shen Fengxi and He Lina, two characters with completely different personalities in "Tragicomic Affinity". Her life has witnessed the evolution process from civilized drama to farcical drama. Her main works include dozens of dramas such as "Autumn Begonia", "Broadcasting Lovebirds", "Original Couple", "A Da A Er", "Full Garden Spring Color" and "A Ch Xin Biography". Renowned theater master Huang Zuolin highly praised her performance: "Wu Meimei is a rare female talented comedian who can be self-satisfied, freely live and play on stage." It is worth mentioning that in the 1980s, the "sound image" of Wang Mama created by Wu Meimei in the "Funny Wang Xiaomao" series program on Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station was well-known household name and deeply loved by listeners.
