The list of general taiwan films in 2022 still uses a series of high-quality dramas that go deep into life and write epic poems for the people, highlighting the vane of production and broadcast.

Among the many major dramas to be broadcast, the realist masterpieces that leverage serious literature have attracted much attention. For example, "The World of Man", the play is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Liang Xiaosheng's Mao Dun Literature Award.

In the big history and big times, China's weather is depicted

The large-scale production of the main theme represented by "The Age of Awakening", "Armageddon" and "Crossing the Yalu River" has laid the benchmark temperament of the national drama of the general Taiwan drama in the past year. In the new year, the drama of the General Taiwan Bureau will continue to depict China's meteorological phenomena in the grand historical view and the great era view.

In order to usher in the 20th National Congress of the Party to create a social atmosphere, a series of hard-core theme works have gathered strength, and poverty alleviation, scientific and technological power, national security, party and government construction are all major propositions related to national development and national self-improvement. "The Backbone of the People" focuses on the road of self-revolution of the Communist Party of China since the 18th National Congress; "Hardcore Era" takes the birth process of China's three-generation nuclear power technology "Hualong No. 1", which has completely independent intellectual property rights, as the material to write the story of the unremitting struggle of two generations of Chinese nuclear industry people; "Tianwang" aims at the practice and exploration of "Beidou people" for more than 30 years; "Splendid Scenery of Mountains and Rivers" and "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" show the great process of poverty alleviation from different dimensions from a panoramic and female perspective, respectively; "Police Honor", "Female Criminal Police Captain", "Public Prosecution Elite" Etc. are the narratives of struggle and growth from the grassroots in the new era.

It is worth mentioning that the long-lost historical drama has also appeared on this year's main film list with a new look. "Biography of Yang Ming" shows the life of Wang Yangming's morality, meritorious service and speech in a panoramic way, and has both practical significance and cultural value. "Great Han Fu" shows the historical situation from the early Western Han Dynasty to the "Guangwu Zhongxing".

Judging from this list of films, although it is in the pattern of fierce competition among major platforms, the main station has always adhered to the principle of innovation, played a mainstay role in creation, and undertaken the mission of "shaping the national character", "telling The Chinese story well", and leading the public to "return to mainstream values". And many sophisticated plays are also expected to tell better Chinese stories in 2022 and spread the voice of China farther. Journalist Wang Yan
