Dayu
Based on the novel of the same name by Liang Xiaosheng and Mao Dun Literature Award Another high point in the history of Chinese TV dramas after the period drama.
Against the backdrop of the most pyrotechnic Spring Festival in China, the story of the Zhou brothers and sisters and their neighbors with light characters in the play has also been imprinted with a complex and background that only Chinese people can understand.
Although the timeline and background set in the play clearly contain historical encounters and topics such as third-line construction, educated youth going to the countryside, and reform and opening up, it is clear that the adaptation of the TV series follows and respects the original intention of the novel to the greatest extent.
Characters and stories are always the main body, which is also the fundamental reason why works such as "The World" and "The Great River" have distinctly different temperaments under the background of the approaching era.
The TV series has well completed Liang Xiaosheng's observation of the "other" in literary creation, retaining the simplicity that is most easily missing and most precious in period dramas.
We all have a Zhou Bingkun in our bones
The three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family in the play can each represent a group of that particular era.
In such a tome, the protagonist with the most pen and ink is neither Zhou Bingyi, an aspiring young man who rides the wind and waves, nor Zhou Rong, who has a free personality, independent thinking, and a sense of topic, but has only a junior high school education and has always been loved by the whole family. "Joke" Zhou Bingkun.
The green, simple, honest, upright, rough, "if you can do it, you can't pull it down" on him is the most common person around us and the easiest to find, and this person is ourselves.
But in the classroom of life, the goal of our efforts is precisely: to become a more "excellent" person than Zhou Bingkun.
Therefore, our distress for Zhou Bingkun is also our sympathy for the self who has not yet completed his "evolution".
If a work can only be endorsed by one character to complete the creator's spiritual transmission, then the spokesperson in "The World" can only be Zhou Bingkun.
In his ups and downs and ups and downs in his life as a small ordinary person in the Guangzi area, what never faded was the softest and kindest part of human nature, so he was not afraid of people's words when he was young and liked "stained" wholeheartedly Zheng Juan, the old man, is full of benevolence towards the old, the weak and the young; when he let his friend Guoqing's family move out of the Zhou family's old house, he felt ashamed and cried; in court, compared to the length of the sentence, Zheng Juan Exposing himself to be raped made him feel powerless and hopeless for not being able to protect the reputation of the person he loves... All these are the constant compassion of Zhou Bingkun.
And this kindness is not only in Zhou Bingkun alone, but also in the villagers in the entire Guangzi area. Depending on the time and place, it is not difficult for us to find their kindness.
This ordinary and reality is the largest and most basic composition of the entire society.
We all have a Zhou Bingkun in our bones - it's just that some people finally worked hard to get out of the Guangzi area and became Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi, or Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu, or they never walked out, living in the old house, day after day Year after year, we face the hardships of life, cry and laugh, and cry with laughter.
From novels to TV dramas, they have maintained a head-on perspective as much as possible, quietly recounting the years, and greatly shortened the distance between the audience and the works.
Compared with the similar period dramas such as "Big Brother", "Big Sister" and "Sister-in-law" in the early years, it highlights the courage to bear the hardships of life, laugh at everything despite all the hard work, willing to sacrifice oneself to achieve others, absolutely occupy the spiritual and moral high ground, and make people feel respectful. But the "big heroes" among the daunting little people, Zhou Bingkun's dedication, struggle and dedication in "The World" have removed the sense of holiness and the shadow of the savior, and are real and amiable.
A time long gone but nostalgic
In addition to the characters themselves, the flat-headed people in the light-character areas in "The World" jointly constructed the interpersonal relationships of the Chinese bottom society in that particular era: a sense of zero boundary.
The group of "six gentlemen" headed by Zhou Bingkun is definitely the most typical portrayal of young people's relationship in that historical era: sharing difficulties and sharing blessings, even if they each form a family, they can also be achieved between small families. No walls, no secrets.
This is an inevitable and objective necessity for people to unite and help each other in the era of material scarcity. It is also a common characteristic of interpersonal relationships for a long time when Chinese people have not yet been spiritually independent and individual freedom has not yet become common practice.
In material life, people need to rely on each other to live a better life; in spiritual life, crowd gathering is the main channel for transmitting social information.
Today, when the concrete walls are towering, one person is one doorway, and one mobile phone is one world, such an intimate non-blood social relationship is a helpless, deeply missed, affectionate gaze for middle-aged audiences. ; For the younger generation of audiences, it is a curiosity of a new type of social relationship, and it is also a regret that cannot be replicated in the soil of today's social environment.
Although the "Human World" at that time was no longer this "human world", it did not affect our understanding and resonance of life and life across generations in the slightest: although the manifestations and contents of joys and sorrows have been different, we have always been the same. Find ways and means to travel the years without end.
Liang Xiaosheng said in his acceptance speech for the Mao Dun Literary Award in "The World": "I think in terms of the actual situation in China, literature's mission to influence the people's hearts and minds of the world is an unshirkable obligation..." Obviously, the TV series "People" The World" has completed the relay from literature to film and television dramas. The little people in the novel who are affectionate, righteous, and bravely shoulder the responsibility of life have been on the TV screen, injecting light into the lights of thousands of homes in this era and injecting free life. Ups and downs, "I don't cry, I don't lament, I don't regret" the tenacity of growth.
