== Biography ==
Feng Gong was born Feng Mingguang ({{zh|s=冯明光|p=|labels=no}}) in [[Tianjin]], [[China]], on December 6, 1957,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sohu.com/a/196602788_766569 |script-title=zh:冯巩一家近照，老婆长得美艳，为人低调，儿子独自创业已成大老板 |newspaper=Sohu |date=2017-10-07 |language=zh}}</ref> the son of Feng Haigang ({{zh|s=冯海岗|p=|labels=no}}; 1920–1993), a local government official, and Liu Yisu ({{zh|s=刘益素|p=|labels=no}}; born 1921), a daughter of an eminent family. His great-grandfather is [[Feng Guozhang]], an early [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic]]-era [[warlord]] and the founder of the [[Zhili Clique]], who once served as the [[President of the Republic of China]] between 1917 and 1918. He has an elder sister Feng Xingyun ({{zh|s=冯幸耘|p=|labels=no}}; born 1947) and two elder brothers Feng Xin ({{zh|s=冯信|p=|labels=no}}) and Feng Chuanshu ({{zh|s=冯传书|p=|labels=no}}).

Feng graduated from [[Central China Normal University]] with a master's degree in Chinese Literature. In 1973, he performed a famous ''[[xiangsheng]]'' named ''Zunshi ai tudi'' ({{zh|c=尊师爱徒弟|labels=no}}) in [[Tianjin]]. Then he started to learn the arts of xiangsheng from the xiangsheng master [[Ma Ji]]. He also worked in a textiles machine factory. Feng was considered more talented than many other students of Ma Ji, and eventually emerged as a new star, performing progressively to bigger venues. [[Niu Qun]] ({{zh|s=牛群|p=|labels=no}}) and Liu Wei ({{zh|s=刘伟|p=|labels=no}}) were his partners when performing ''xiangsheng''.

Feng appeared in the first [[CCTV New Year's Gala]] in 1986; he has appeared at almost every ''Chunwan'' performance for the next thirty years, variably in skits and ''xiangsheng''. Feng is usually one of the first acts of the show; it is said he appears earlier in the program so that he can drive home to Tianjin to spend midnight on new year with his mother.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://space.tv.cctv.com/act/schedule.jsp?scheduleId=SCHE1200376942374358 |title=2000春晚视频 春晚视频点播站 CCTV.com |accessdate=2013-04-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110923042951/http://space.tv.cctv.com/act/schedule.jsp?scheduleId=SCHE1200376942374358 |archive-date=2011-09-23 }}</ref>
