Seeing the TV series "The World of Man" now, I feel that the most awe-inspiring of the many characters is Zhou Zhigang, the father of Zhou. This old worker is the hardest, the most pitiful, the most memorable, and the most respectable person in the whole play.
Zhou Zhigang, as the most senior person in the play, is also an old worker, an old party member, in response to the call of the third line of national construction, abandoned his wife and son, came from the northeast to the distant southwest ravine, engaged in the national defense construction urgently needed by the country, and could not go home once in several years.
Zhou Zhigang in life prototypes are too many, too easy to find, since the mid-1960s, for the security of the country, in order for the country to have a solid national defense, the state launched the construction of the third line, when Shanghai had many factories to the interior, in Sichuan, Hanzhong, Guizhou and other southwest regions of the mountains to establish a lot of military industry, countless zhou Zhigang such old workers, so left the big city, left their homes, worked hard in the mountains for more than ten years, retired before returning home.
Thanks to the author and screenwriter of "The World of Man", Zhou Zhigang, a representative of the older generation of the working class, shows us the image of the old workers of the third line of construction!
We salute Zhou Zhigang and countless older generation workers like Zhou Zhigang who built the third line!
