1. The story background is set "new": For a long time, China's rural theme TV dramas have obvious northern characteristics, and "Longing for Life" is based on Hezhou City and its countryside in Guangxi Province, which fictionalizes the story space with southern rural characteristics in Longshan Township, Hechuan City. It not only highlights the natural characteristics of the southern landscape but also shows the open-minded and cheerful humanistic style. It can be said that it provides a new look and feel for the audience.
2. The content of the story is "new": "Longing for Life" breaks the narrative routines such as road construction, house construction, and education support that are common in traditional rural poverty alleviation stories, and closely revolves the story around the agricultural shareholding system reform in Longshan Village, a southern village. The setting of the story line makes the poverty alleviation story shift from the traditional "he saves" to "self-help", as director Yan Yi said, the villagers' pursuit of their own happiness is the driving force and support of this reform, and it is also a highlight that distinguishes this work from similar themes."

Every word and deed of the characters follows the logic of daily behavior, finds value identification in the daily behavior of the characters, and makes the characters three-dimensional and concrete, which is also the valuable point of this play.
Q3
Compared with the previous theme of "rural revitalization", what do you think are the highlights of "Longing for Life" in artistic expression?
"Longing for Life" chooses to tell the story of rural reform in a brisk and bright image presentation, so as to narrow the distance between the story and the audience, so that the audience can experience the "bitterness" and "happiness" in the cause of "poverty alleviation" in a more relaxed look. The use of "light comedy" narrative techniques makes "Longing for Life" look more relaxed and interesting, adding fun to the ordinary life, which is also one of the important reasons for attracting the audience.
Q4
Where do you think the guiding significance of the TV series "Longing for Life" to reality is reflected?
Different from similar works that only break through rural problems, "Longing for Life" has a profound reflection on the "three rural" problems, which not only artistically expresses the intricate contradictions and conflicts in the rural areas during the period of change, deeply analyzes the crux of the current "three rural" problems, but also provides a reference solution to solve the problem. The creation of the novel "Shareholding Peasant" by writer Zhu Dong stems from a kind of attachment to the countryside, and his creation is not only an observation, recording and sentiment of the local world, but also an in-depth inquiry and continuous thinking about the changes of the times. The TV series "Longing for Life" is a masterpiece that actively responds to the call of the era of new rural construction. It has become a special narrative model in the process of rural revitalization in the new era. It provides new ideas for the creation of TV dramas with the theme of "rural reform" in the future.
