他是中国第一个，如果不是目前唯一一个，靠传统曲艺文化成为“流量明星”。

Zhang Yunlei and Traditional Chinese Art
张云雷和中国传统艺术
Though being loved by many because of his Xiangsheng performances, sweet interaction with his parner---Yang jiulang, and great talents in Chinese operas, many new fans begin to know him by such scenes:
很多人喜欢张云雷是通过他的相声表演，和搭档杨九郎的高糖互动，或者是演唱中国传统曲艺的天赋。但很多人开始认识他是通过这一幕：
Holding and waving green glow sticks, audiences sing Zhang’s first hit ---- Memories in Qingshui River together.
全场观众挥舞着绿色荧光棒，合唱张云雷的成名曲：探清水河。
This is not the only traditional art his fans have learned from him.
They’ve even managed to sing different Chinese operas, such as Qian Kundai(Ping ju opera), Suo Lin nang(Peking opera), and Qin huaijing(SuZhou Pingtan).
Zhang Yunlei , along with other Xiangsheng performers in De Yun She, starts a trend of traditional culture.
探清水河并不是他们跟张云雷学会的唯一一首传统曲艺。
他们甚至还学会了不同剧种：评剧乾坤袋，京剧锁麟囊，苏州评弹秦淮景等等。
张云雷和其他德云社演员，让传统文化的风潮重新涌起。

但不能毁灭他的，必让他更强大。

Zhang Yunlei and His Fans
张云雷和他的粉丝
The other reason why I like him is his fans. They have a cute name , Er Nainai.
我喜欢他的另一个原因是他的粉丝，她们有个可爱的名字，二奶奶。
Different from any other fan in this world, Er Nainai always try to make their idol angry by complimenting Zhang’s partner on his look, or threatening to return the tickets whenever Zhang makes a mistake.
和世界上任何一个粉丝不同，二奶奶们总是招惹（其实这里本来想写调戏）张云雷。她们要么夸杨九郎长得帅，要么在张云雷口胡的时候威胁要退票。
They are just saying of course, because tickets of Zhang’s show is nearly the hardest to buy currently.
但她们都只是说说而已，因为张云雷如今已经是一票难求了。
But they still love him so much , and the scene they sing Peking Opera Suo linnang together for Zhang makes people touched.
但二奶奶们还是执着地爱着二爷。她们为张云雷齐唱锁麟囊的场景，很难不让人为之动容。
