Why are there only two of the four major storytelling performance artists?

Because with the passage of time, those artists are getting older and older, some are sick and leave, and some are when the time comes, and naturally it is time to leave, and slowly there are only two artists left.

The four storytelling performance artists are: Yuan Kuocheng, Liu Lanfang, Shan Tianfang, Tian Lianyuan, Mr. Yuan Kuocheng died of heart failure; Mr. Shan Tianfang also passed away from the Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital due to illness, so only two old artists remained, Liu Lanfang and Tian Lianyuan!

Because the other two storytelling performance artists have passed away due to their age and physical illness, there are only two left.

Because the other two performing artists are old and some have passed away, there are only two left.
