The time span of the TV series "The World of Man" is very long.
From the perspective of the original novel, the author Liang Xiaosheng uses 1.15 million words to show the social changes and development processes of the mainland in the past 50 years.
Although the TV series is hindered by the length of the article, it is impossible to show the whole picture of the novel on the TV screen.
But there will always be intentional, seemingly unintentional, through a single word or lens language to try to express more of the "symbols" of the times to the audience.
If you count these languages and symbols, you can't finish it for three days and three nights. (Interested friends can look through the articles between the authors, there are many interpretations of the meaning of the details in the play.) ）
Speaking of these contents, it seems that in addition to the "Asia 1 communication satellite" in the sky, the locomotive with the "1771" number is the largest.
But this seemingly age-inspired locomotive has become a "knot" in the center of the author, a lens language that should have been paid more attention to.
The locomotive, which has been introduced in close-ups since the first episode of "The World of Man", continues to appear in subsequent stories.
Almost as long as it is in the plot of the railway station, he will be used to express a kind of sadness that the relatives are about to leave.
But such an application is actually a great misleading and misguided for the audience.
Because of such a locomotive that you can occasionally see even today, he is hardly used in the operation of long-distance passenger trains.
This seemingly large locomotive has its own name , " Upstream Steam Locomotive " .
It is a locomotive specially used in industrial and mining enterprises, shunting and small-scale operations.
It is the longest-produced steam locomotive in the mainland and the most numerous steam locomotives used by industrial and mining enterprises in the mainland.
And that's one of the reasons why to this day, you can see him on some local side lines.
This is one of the reasons why he often appears in a very "new" form in a variety of film and television dramas.
The No. 1771 "upstream steam locomotive" that appears many times in "The World of Man" is currently part of the "Liaoning Tiefa Coal (Group) Co., Ltd." along with No. 1770 and No. 1772.
Therefore, when you see this kind of locomotive with different numbers in different film and television dramas, you don't need to guess whether this number has any deep meaning in the play.
Because there are many such locomotives from south to north and from east to west throughout the country, the reason why the numbers in front of the locomotives are different is entirely because the shooting locations are different.
Although "Man in the World" misused the use of "upstream steam locomotives", it was acceptable at least in the era of his appearance.
And such a shape with a sense of age is indeed very suitable for application in the stories and plots of the 70s and 80s.
However, the "Harmony 5 Diesel Locomotive", which appears in episode 40, becomes a complete "time travel" event.
Judging from the plot before and after the appearance of this "Harmony 5 type diesel locomotive", the plot era of "Human World" at that time should be around 1992.
The "Harmony 5 diesel locomotive" was officially allocated to the "Harbin Locomotive Section" under the "Harbin Railway Bureau" in early May 2009.
It was not until the beginning of July 2010 that the first batch of 300 "Harmony 5 diesel locomotives" were all delivered.
Yes, this green-skinned locomotive, which now seems to have a great sense of age, actually appeared in the story of "The World" more than a decade ago.
To a certain extent, the author can understand "The World of Man" in his heart, and perhaps he wants to convey to us the image of a wave of "reform and opening up" sweeping across the land of Shenzhou.
And we can also feel the impact of this wave from other places in the play.
But in fact, it is possible to use other methods and forms to show it, rather than always bringing the image of the train to the audience.
Because if there is no historical influence, it is difficult for you to fully show the crowds on the train station in the form of extras and props.
Especially when the plot reaches such a time node as the Spring Festival, the railway station platform can not see the liveliness of "having money and no money, going home for the New Year".
And from the author's understanding, trains, such a major passenger means of transportation, really began to change dramatically, until after 1997.
Because from that year on, trains and rail transport launched the "first large-scale speed improvement map".
In the feelings of many ordinary people, in the years that followed, it seemed that the people's living standards began to truly embark on the "fast lane".
Maybe it's because "The World" has reached 40 episodes, and there is not much time left for him.
When the history of suffering has ended, when the parents of the post-70s have begun to wither, when the post-80s have begun to stand on the stage of history.
"The World of Man" may skip a long period of history, and the "pains" that ordinary workers have experienced will be brushed over.
In the last less than 20 episodes of "The World of Man", you may suddenly find that the time has come to the "millennium".
Immediately followed will be the era of "victory" and "glory", and the era of the post-90s is also coming.
At this point, "The World of Man" has closed the curtain, and he has ended with regret and glory.
For a standard post-80s, how I wish I could see the 90s in "The World".
Past highlights: The most worrying thing about "In the World" is still coming, the embarrassment of Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan, who to blame?
