  Zhou Bingkun’s home lives on this street.

New China was founded in the year Zhou Bingkun was born.

  [Commentary] On April 13, the realistic drama "Human World", adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous writer Liang Xiaosheng, winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award, held a media meeting at Beijing Tianqiao Art Center and staged exciting clips.

  [Explanation] The story of "Human World" began in the 1970s, spanning more than 50 years.

Taking the life trajectory of the male protagonist Zhou Bingkun as a clue, it shows in depth the real life and struggle history of a dozen ordinary characters.

Director Yang Jiayin told reporters that how to present the 50-year story in three hours is the most challenging part of the creative process.

  Based on strong realism, we must break through the boundaries of realism in rehearsal. This play may be a multi-time and space dissolving (effect) in the future.

I hope it can also appear in a realistic work, such as symbolism, such as abstraction.

Therefore, these plots that are helpful to the main line characters are reserved, and then others are made boldly.

  [Explanation] The fifty-year time span and the heavy historical sense of the original work are also one of the difficulties faced by actors in interpreting characters.

Guo Jiaming, the star of the drama "Human World", said that he saw the shadow of his father and grandfather in this drama.

  I saw my parents, my grandfather, grandma, and the relatives who have been around me since I was a child.

We have to act until we are old to 50s and 60s. This is a very big challenge for us.

I can't say that the old man is just the old man. It's more his thoughts, his soul, and he has experienced so much.

Zhou Bingkun has been in jail twice, once for six months and once for twelve years.

After all this, what his person is like, the so-called shaping of the image, you have to enter his heart.

  [Commentary] The drama "Human World" has been adapted and more innovative.

Will the adapted content lose the original taste of the work?

As the original author, Liang Xiaosheng is not worried about this.

  Usually we emphasize that the adaptor must respect the original work, and I think the original work must be reversed, and the adaptor must be respected, because adapting him is a re-creation, and the original work must give the adaptor sufficient room for re-creation.

Adaptation is nothing more than an abbreviation, but re-creation must have some passion elements of its own.

It is difficult, but also worthwhile.

Young people know this, and I have full confidence in them.

  [Explanation] Currently, the drama "Human World" is undergoing intense rehearsal, and the TV series "Human World" has also started shooting.

Regarding the presentation of this work to the audience in a variety of art forms, Liang Xiaosheng expressed the hope that through the stories of ordinary people described in the work, young audiences can understand the history of their fathers and thus understand China today.

  I hope that young people understand the life of their parents, and understand the life of their parents. In fact, they understand the history of the Republic and the history of the Republic. In fact, it helps us to be sober, objective and comprehensive. Look at China today, look at China now.

  [Explanation] The play will start its first round of performances at Beijing Tianqiao Art Center from May 28th to 30th, and then touring more than 20 cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
