When I was a child, I looked forward to the New Year the most
Enjoy the joy and ease of the family
"When we were young, we only celebrated traditional festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, Spring Festival, lantern festival and so on, and the New Year is the most anticipated and proud festival for children in the year. On this day, you can not only wear new clothes, but also receive money for the year, and you can go to the street to buy snacks, which is particularly comfortable. What impressed Wei Minglun was that his parents, who had been busy for a year, also had little leisure time to play cards with several of their brothers and sisters, "and they will intentionally lose to you, and the family is happy." ”
When he was a child, Wei Minglun, like most children, liked to run and set off firecrackers at the same time. "We call firecrackers artillery, and those who are bold enough to light cannons to set them off, listening to the crackling sound of artillery, nervous and happy." He also likes to watch his mother boil sugar, "Our family makes their own rice candy, peanut candy, and red amaranth candy for the New Year." Simmer over low heat, put it in a wooden lattice, the lattice is very small, and when it is dry, it is naturally a small piece, which can be eaten directly, and it is very crispy and sweet to eat. ”
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Wei Minglun would "leave the house" with his parents and go to the homes of various relatives to pay respects to the New Year. "In the days of the New Year, even if the child is naughty, he will not be scolded, because the New Year does not say unlucky words." In addition, the drama team will also seal the box a few days before the New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve not acting, and they will start to be busy on the first day of the first year. "Wei Minglun, who was out of school in his childhood and sang opera at the age of nine, was also the busiest from the first to the fifth day of the New Year." Three performances a day, performing "Jade Ancestral Shou", "QunXian Hui", "Heavenly Official Blessing" and other auspicious plays. ”
In August 1986, Wei Minglun played with actors who played Pan Jinlian, Jia Baoyu and Anna
The year he served as the chief writer of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala
"The only time I didn't spend the New Year at home in Sichuan"
At the end of the 1970s, the Chinese theater stage was in ruins. The 37-year-old Wei Minglun has successively created a number of Sichuan opera works such as "Easy to Be Bold", "Four Girls", and "Bashan Xiucai". Among them, "Yi Bold" and "Four Girls" both won the 1981 National Excellent Script Award, and "Bashan Xiucai" won the 1983 National Excellent Script Award, "Lianzhong Sanyuan", known as "Bashu Ghost Talent". In 1985, Wei Minglun's absurd Sichuan opera "Pan Jinlian" boldly explored, the art form crossed the dynasty and the country, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign things on the same stage, is the earliest "crossing drama". Because of the bold subversion of Pan Jinlian's historical image, the play triggered a big discussion in the theater industry at that time, which can be described as a sensation. Wei Minglun, who is well-known, was invited by CCTV to serve as the overall planner and chief writer of the 1993 Spring Festival Gala.
Wei Minglun introduced: "In the past, CCTV Spring Festival Gala never set up a general writer, and there will be no general writer in the future." In the nearly 40 years of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, only in 1993, the position of "chief writer" was set up, and Wei Minglun became a landmark figure that had to be mentioned in the history of CCTV Spring Festival Gala. "At that time, there were only three people in the overall planning: the director of the CCTV Literature and Art Department, the general director and me. In the name of the general writer, in fact, I did not 'write', all of them selected programs nationwide, reviewed programs, and processed and revised. For example, the song "The Sound of the Waves" is a ready-made program selected from Guangdong, while the song "Everyone Paddles and Drives a Big Boat" is selected from the first draft and processed and improved by me. ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve night that year, Wei Minglun and his wife Ding Benxiu sat in the audience of the Spring Festival Gala and watched the program with the people of the whole country. "This year was the only time I didn't celebrate the New Year at my home in Sichuan." The next day, the first day of the Chinese New Year, Wei Minglun flew back to Chengdu with Deng Jie, Chen Xiaoyi and other Sichuan actors. "My family was in Zigong at the time, and when I arrived at Shuangliu Airport, I was picked up by friends in Chengdu to wash the dust and have a dinner." It was not until the second day of the Chinese New Year that Wei Minglun returned to Zigong and found that the calligraphy given to him by the famous film performance artist Xie Tian was lost in Chengdu. "Xie Tian is a calligraphy 'Bashan Xiucai' written with his left hand, which is very precious. I lost it. I still think about it with great regret. ”
