Personal life edit

Guo was born in Tianjin, China. His father is crosstalk comedian Guo Degang,[5] the owner of performance art group Deyunshe (德云社). His teacher is Yu Qian (于谦), and his crosstalk partner is Yan Hexiang (阎鹤祥).[6][7] Guo has been fond of xiangshang and Peking opera since he was around three years old, and he was able to tell stories in the crosstalk form since he was five.[8] He joined his father's performance group with hopes of revitalizing the art form.[9]
