In fact, there is no authoritative official definition of the so-called period drama, but in the natural development and evolution of the TV series, it has gradually evolved and formed three definitions of fashion drama, costume drama and period drama that distinguish categories by time span.
And "The World of Man" is such a period drama that spans 50 years of history.
Judging from the official final poster of "The World of Man", this is a TV series that covers almost the entire period of reform and opening up.
What is surprising is that at the moment when the "magic drama" is flying all over the sky, "Human World" does not make too many out-of-the-ordinary changes to the original work, or mainly depicts the lives of small people under the historical changes.
At present, what I am looking forward to is how much will be described in this 58-episode "Human World".
Because from the official announcement of the plot summary content, at least in the opening few episodes, there will be many nouns and events associated with the period before the reform and opening up.
And these contents are often not known and well known by many young people or new generations.
In particular, if "The World" does not describe the causes and consequences of these events in detail and only passes by, it will have a bad counter-effect on the viewing experience of many young people.
Just like many film and television works often use obscure, implicit and even deletion methods, it will make people see it in the clouds.
Keyword one: Liang Xiaosheng
"Human World" is the opening drama of CCTV, which is a TV series adapted from the novel "Human World" of the "Mao Dun Literature Award".
The author, Liang Xiaosheng, is a very influential writer in the contemporary literary circles of the mainland, and his works are mostly based on the theme of Zhiqing, and he especially likes to describe the years of The Northern Wilderness and Zhiqing that he has experienced.
In many of Liang Xiaosheng's novels, his main characters or characters are usually ordinary small characters, and most of them are mainly depicted in civilian life and criticized vested interests.
Therefore, in the mainland literary circles, Liang Xiaosheng was given the reputation of "civilian spokesman".
And his masterpiece "The World of Man" has brought such a title to the extreme.
Keyword two: late seventies
The so-called 1970s refers to the 10-year time span from 1970 to 1979.
If we take 1975 as the boundary marker for the word "end", then the end of the 1970s, when the story of "The World of Man" began, was actually a "magnificent" era.
In these 5 or 6 years, there are regrets and hopes, and there are sorrows and yearnings.
In the past few years, Typhoon "Nina" has brought endless disasters and pain to the people of Henan.
In the past few years, Comrade Xiaoping began to plan a grand blueprint for reform and opening up.
In the past few years, the people's good premier Zhou Enlai and Comrade Zhu De have left us one after another.
In the past few years, the casualties and injuries caused by the Tangshan earthquake still remain in our hearts today.
In the course of these few years, our great leader, Chairman Mao, has also left us.
In the past few years, the decade-long revolution has officially come to an end.
In the final years, the border war that lasted until 1990 was officially fought.
Keyword three: "big third line" construction
In the introduction of "The World of Man", it is written that Zhou Bingkun's father, Zhou Zhigang, went to the southwest to participate in the construction of the "Great Third Line".
The construction began in the sixties, and by the late seventies the participants had begun to be gradually replaced by ordinary civilians by military personnel.
Therefore, the "third line" is actually a complete concept of military geography, which probably covers 13 provinces and autonomous regions in the central and western regions.
In addition, this "third line" is actually similar to the first-tier cities and second-tier cities that we often talk about today, and its geographical location also has certain similarities.
The construction of the third line in that year had two slogans: "Prepare for war and prepare for the people, and good people will immediately go to the third line."
Under such an appeal, millions of workers, cadres, intellectuals, soldiers, and tens of millions of ordinary builders came together to develop the relatively backward southwest region.
In just a dozen years, more than 1,100 large and medium-sized industrial and mining enterprises, infrastructure, scientific research units and colleges and universities have been established.
Keyword four: intellectual youth
When Zhou Zhigang responded to the call of the state to participate in the construction of the third line, Zhou Bingyi, the eldest son of the Zhou family, also responded to the call of the state and became the first batch of rural intellectuals.
They were a group of children who mostly only had junior and senior high school education, and at a young age, they began to live a hard life of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and the name for this group of middle school students at that time was "intellectual youth".
The word Zhiqing is rarely heard, on the one hand, that generation is gradually withering away, and on the other hand, because it is too old, it is gradually being forgotten.
Regarding the origin and origin of Zhiqing, there are two main points that are important reasons for its emergence.
On the one hand, it is to reduce the number of urban people in order to reduce the burden on the city in all aspects.
On the other hand, due to the suspension of the college entrance examination in 1966, many students after secondary school not only can not enter the university for further study, but also cannot be arranged to work in factories or units.
This has led to a series of slogans and slogans such as "intellectual youth go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle-class peasants" and "the countryside is a vast world, where great achievements can be made."
Keyword five: laid-off
This is a unique term that belongs to the 90s, and it will not and should not appear again in the long river of history.
If "laid-off" is a short name, then his full name should be called "retired from work" may be more understood by ordinary people.
The massive wave of formal layoffs began around 1997, under a series of institutional reforms of state-owned enterprises.
As long-term employees of these enterprises, although they still belong to the factory or unit in name, they do not have the opportunity to obtain jobs and wages, in fact, they are equivalent to unemployment.
Most of the people affected the most by layoffs are ordinary workers in their forties and fifties.
Most of them only have experience working in factories, and because they have no other job skills, the likelihood that this group of people will enter society and find a job again is slim.
At the same time, along with the wave of layoffs, there are also institutional reforms in various aspects such as medical care, education, and housing.
In such an environment, perhaps you can understand how much pressure and difficulty Zhou Bingkun faced in life when he experienced that period of pain.
And this group of people is almost the main component of the middle and low income people in most cities now, perhaps this is the real origin of the "vulnerable groups".
Keyword six: going to the sea
Along with the layoffs, there was also the "going to the sea", both of which can be said to be the same unique products of that era.
Like "laid-offs", "going to the sea" is almost equally no longer used or mentioned today.
The emergence of the term "going to the sea" has largely provided an opportunity for laid-off workers and the un laid-off to regain their wealth.
This group of people who dared to "go to the sea" formed a very distinct group in the early stage of reform and opening up.
They are self-employed individuals, private entrepreneurs, reformers of state-owned enterprises, entrepreneurs who go to the sea, rural contractors, frontier trade pioneers, and so on.
Although these people eventually succeeded and failed, they were also the most personal witnesses of reform and opening up.
Write at the end
These are the keywords of "The World" in the 50 years of ups and downs, I don't know how many of them you have experienced personally, and how many of them you have never heard of.
But these are not the main points, and many times the success or failure of a thing, good or bad, can not be generalized.
Like layoffs and going to the sea, these events and decisions have a completely different interpretation on many levels.
He made the lives of some people difficult, and also made some people rich first.
He has put the country's system in a healthier direction, but he has also buried some bad hidden dangers.
Just like the wave of reform and opening up, like the golden sand on the beach.
In the beauty of the sunset, even if it has a golden color, you must bow your proud head under the wash of the waves.
Although the waves will temporarily cover the beach, after the stars shift, the waves will eventually push the beach back in front of us.
At this time, although the beach has lost its original appearance, when the sunset once again envelops him, he will still emit a dazzling golden yellow.
This may be the enlightenment that "The World of Man" brings to us.
When we face the tide of the times, whether to stay on our own feet or keep pace with the times is a difficult and obvious choice for everyone.
