Since it is the annual drama of CCTV, it must be a good drama, there is no doubt about it, and if you look closely, it is true that no TV series has allowed me to watch it so intently for a long time, and I have not seen such a positive and positive energy work for a long time. Whether it is from the script itself or the choice of actors, there is nothing to complain about. The pace of the plot is just right, not fast or slow, and each episode can properly grasp the audience's most concerned points. The personalities of the actors are distinct, and the wonderful thing is that the personalities of some actors and the personalities of the characters in the play are exactly in line with each other, and there is no trace of performance at all, so that the whole play looks at no violation and no sense of drama.
As the main line, the old Zhou family is neither a rich and powerful family, nor a poor family that sells miserably and crying poorly. It is one of the thousands of ordinary workers in the 60s and 70s, and such a setting can easily empathize with the audience into the plot. The life of the old Zhou family can be said to be pure as a blank piece of paper, everyone is good with people, a few episodes of the plot down, there is no Eryu I deceive you to fight for me, the plot has ups and downs but there are no accidents, everyone in the Zhou family insists on their own hearts, do not harbor evil thoughts. The plot is short among the parents of ordinary people in that era, but it is interesting to watch, such as classic works such as "Longing", so that people's thoughts can finally return to that simple and not simple era.
At the beginning of the plot, the plot is more heart-wrenching, the three children of the old Zhou family can only leave one to live in the city, the rest must respond to the call, join the army and go to the countryside, the father Zhou Zhigang also has to support the construction of the west, and the good family of five has to face separation. In the choice of going to the countryside for such a hard job, the sister and brother are in a desperate struggle, and they all hope to go to the countryside, the younger brother only wants to let the sister live a better life, and the sister hopes to pursue the life she wants. In the end, his brother Zhou Bingyi joined the army, while his sister Zhou Rong secretly went to the countryside in Guizhou to follow his lover.
Staying in the city to accompany his mother Li Suhua is the youngest brother Zhou Bingkun, who did not love to learn since he was a child, did things with a tiger's head, and spoke unscrupulously, but in fact, people are kind and good. Friend Tu Zhiqiang committed murder and was shot, in that era, whoever encountered this matter would immediately leave the front with the other party, lest he provoke a fire, he was good, listened to Tu Zhiqiang's fox friends a few words of persuasion, and took on the responsibility of sending living expenses and taking care of each other to Tu Zhiqiang's fiancée Zheng Juan's family without hesitation. Although Zhou Bingkun fell in love with Zheng Juan at first sight, at that time, there were not many workers in the family who did not want to be rooted in the red seedlings, and there were not many people who could make such a choice.
It is precisely because of this love that It is also doomed that Zhou Bingkun's life path must be bumpy. But fortunately, he had a kind heart, and took off his cotton jacket in front of the icy bathhouse to help the old man with a broken leg to go to the hospital, and the other party turned out to be Ma Shouchang, vice president of the military academy. Helping the fallen bride in the hutong turned out to be Zheng Juan's mother. All of this vaguely implies that Zhou Bingkun planted good causes and good results, and this positive causal cycle orientation I think is very good.
And his brother Zhou Bingyi is also a grateful person, only because Hao Dongmei's father improved the surrounding environment of his living area, he determined that the Hao family was kind to himself, and he also loved Hao Dongmei and did not abandon it. Even if the troops offered him the conditions that he could be promoted as long as he and Hao Dongmei were separated, he did not waver. What is valuable is that Hao Dongmei's parents at that time had been criticized as a bourgeoisie, and the old Zhou family was still willing to accept her as a daughter-in-law, nothing else, just because she did not forget to be grateful for the Zhou family's training. Zhou Bingyi's motto, "The body can be tired, sick and even injured, but the spirit must not be decadent", which also makes people realize that people's ideological consciousness at that time was different from the present.
There is also a role in this play that I like very much, Qiao Haiyan, played by Huang Xiaolei, dares to love and hate, boldly pungent, talks and coaxes people and sweet mouths, this character is really likable, I don't know why Zhou Bingkun doesn't like it. I also admire the era when there was no WeChat text message, the emotional confession between men and women was not pretentious, it was not ok, it was clean and neat. Unfortunately, Qiao Haiyan saw that Zhou Bingkun was hopeless, and he and Cao Debao got along. This drama is really unexpected.
Qu Xiuzhen, played by Zhang Kaili, is actually just right, and I don't know why some people always think that she is too strong. In that era, Qu Xiuzhen wanted to do something practical, but her family had just lost power, as a woman, how to fight for a point without relying on strength, really thought that sitting at home like the current business war film and opening WeChat can wave Fang? Judging from Qu Xiuzhen's attitude towards Zhou Bingkun, she is also a person of great affection, the icing on the cake and sending charcoal in the snow are clearly distinguished, and it is not shy to say it, and this kind of straightforward role is also very easy to make the audience feel good.
Zhou Rong and Zheng Juan, in fact, these two women are doomed to a bumpy fate, although Zhou Rong's husband Feng Huacheng looks very affectionate at present, but according to the trend of this literati in the previous novels, the result of Zhou Rong's abandonment has been doomed. And Zheng Juan is a step wrong step by step, and Tu Zhiqiang, Luo Shibin's acquaintance doomed her life to embark on the wrong road, although she also deeply loved Zhou Bingkun, but because of the past also made her feel inferior, fortunately, Zhou Bingkun did not abandon her, but also made her future full of hope.
At present, there are still many branches of the TV series that have not been fully unfolded, Cai Xiaoguang, who plays an official but is serious about righteousness, Luo Shibin, who has a cold face and a fierce god, what kind of direction they will bring to the plot, what kind of test to bring to the old Zhou family, are worth looking forward to.
