Moving China, touching you and me. From 2003 to 2022, "Moving China" has gone through 20 years. In the past 20 years, one after another shining names and touching stories have not only presented the bits and pieces of the work and life of ordinary people, but also recorded the sonorous footsteps of social changes and the progress of the times, among which the timeless Chinese spiritual force penetrates the tunnel of time and illuminates the past, present and future.
After 20 years, why does "Moving China" still touch people's hearts? What did the award speech rely on to conquer groups of audiences? The reporter interviewed Liu Kai, chief writer of "Moving China", and other main creative personnel.
Ordinary casts greatness, heroes come from the people, and the touching deeds of the annual figures comprehensively show the spiritual outlook of China in the new era
This year's opening characters focus on Yang Zhenning, a century-old physicist who has made important contributions to the development of Chinese science at Tsinghua University.

In 1971, ping-pong diplomacy broke the more than 20-year-old stalemate between China and the United States, and when the United States issued an announcement lifting the ban on foreigners visiting China, the homesick Yang Zhenning could not wait to embark on the way home. In the years when he was hindered from returning to China, Yang Zhenning achieved a number of top scientific achievements with irrefutable academic strength, making the word "China" behind him shine more and more. After returning to China to settle down, Yang Zhenning devoted himself to attracting China's top scientific talents, always cared about China's major scientific engineering and scientific and technological decisions, and continued to use his scientific spirit and academic personality to play a significant leading role in the Chinese scientific community.
From a Chinese teenager, to a patriotic wanderer, to an old man at the root, the years must pass by, Yang Zhenning spent 50 years to respond to Deng Jiaxian's agreement of "I hope that people will be long-lasting, and a thousand miles a common path".
Working with the motherland in the same direction and moving toward the future together is the common background of this touching Chinese: Peng Shilu, the founder of China's nuclear power cause, "dived deep" all his life, only to always watch the motherland's ocean; Su Bingtian, an athlete who transcends age, injury and physical limitations, known as "China's flying man", always firmly believes that "we can run faster Chinese"; Wu Tianyi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, who has devoted himself to plateau medical research for more than 50 years, saved the 140,000 road construction army of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from plateau disease...
In addition to patriotism, self-improvement is another distinctive feature of the person of the year.
Couples have only one hand and two legs, how should life be spent in the face of such a situation? "Moving China" tells the story of Zhang Shundong and Li Guoxiu, who are strong, confident and optimistic, relying on their only labor ability, let a son and a daughter enter the university, and let the whole family completely bid farewell to poverty.

Like Zhang Shundong and Li Guoxiu and his wife, as well as Zhu Yanfu, who is known as "China's Paul", every life is written wonderfully; Jiang Mengnan, a college student who has almost completely lost his hearing since childhood, learned to "listen" and "speak" through reading lip language with the help of his parents, not only did not drop out of school, but also walked out of the remote Yao township and was admitted to a doctoral student at Tsinghua University. The strong, self-confident and optimistic spirit displayed by these "civilian heroes" has injected a strong spiritual impetus into the progress of society.
The award speech reached the hearts of the people, and behind the touching was the common pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty and a better life
"Dragon Scales is a form of book binding that originated in the Tang Dynasty, which is very suitable for presenting a timeline sequence, and every page turned over is a monument." Recalling the process of making the opening picture, Zhang Xiaodong, a non-hereditary heir of the Dragon Scales, sighed that after receiving the invitation from the program team, he spent more than two months carefully completing this long scroll.
As a loyal audience member of the show, Zhang Xiaodong told reporters: "The deeds of the role models in the show have constantly inspired me to choose one thing in my life and one thing for a lifetime. In the past 15 years, I have only done 8 books, and maybe I can only do the one thing of non-genetic inheritance in my life. ”
Like Zhang Xiaodong, Liu Kai, the chief writer of "Moving China", has also accompanied the program for many years.
"Good words are honed. From the very beginning, each person has more than 1,000 words, and then reduced to dozens of words, and in the middle, it has to be circulated, commented on, and modified by many colleagues. The award speech is part of the ceremony, and it must be as short as possible and closely integrated with the ceremony in order to play a role in the finishing touch. Liu Kai told reporters that the emphasis in writing is simple and accurate, not piled up rhetoric, not too gorgeous, try to use Chinese commonly used writing habits, so that the audience can accept it without any obstacles.
Turning over this year's award speech, simple, accurate and beautiful style came to the fore: Yang Zhenning's "Once, you stood in the front row of the world, now, you and the country together to the future", Zhu Yanfu's "Life is more than once for you, soldiers are not only experienced by you", Jiang Mengnan's "Break through from silence, you have a loud horn in your heart"... A few words, deeply moving.
Why the award speech can always move people is a question that Liu Kai is often asked. In his view, the deeds of the award-winning figures are the core of the touching, and at the same time, the audience must also have the pursuit and appreciation of truth, goodness and beauty in their hearts, so that they can be moved. "No matter how well Lamei is born, it still needs to be understood by people who appreciate the flowers."
Record the truth, and inherit and carry forward the Chinese spiritual power in the past 20 years
"The invariance in the upheaval, the silence in the noise, the standing in the rush, the gaze in the dazzling." "Moving China" brought such feelings to the host Jing Yidan. After missing "Moving China 2020", she has long since retired and returned again.
"We don't express too much, don't be abusive, don't exalt the expression of each character, and try to introduce a real person as much as possible, and show the real good person." In Jing Yidan's view, the proximity to reality is the reason why this show can maintain its long-term vitality.

Our times have never lacked idols and heroes, what is important is what kind of idols and heroes to promote. From the very beginning of its establishment, "Moving China" has focused on the main force that promotes the development and progress of contemporary China, and has successfully selected and launched one ordinary and great, simple and sincere typical character after another.
From Zhang Guimei, who is "not afraid of crushing dust and has no intention of fighting for spring", to Wang Jicai and Wang Shihua, who "no matter how small the island is, it is also the land, and the country must be safe before the family is established"; from Qian Xuesen, a scientific giant who has created outstanding achievements, to Wang Shunyou, an ordinary postman who has used 20 years of trekking to fly snow to pass on salaries... In the eyes of people, they are all "the loveliest people in the new era".
Great practice breeds great spirit, and the great practice of China in the new era is giving birth to more touching stories
"Turn around in the neon jungle and let your feet be stained with dirt. From the rainforest to the desert, borrow a zip line through prejudice and use steel ladders to transcend suspicion. An endless path, conveying the smiles of your compatriots to the world, you record the most beautiful scenery of this era. This is an award speech to the host of Hong Kong TVB, Belle Chan.
In the spring of 2021, Chen Belle came to the mainland and embarked on a "road of infinity" with a full belly of questions. After 3 months, Chen Belle and his party of 5 people traveled through 6 provinces and 10 poverty alleviation areas across the country, deep into the tropical rain forest of Hainan, the Sichuan-Tibet Plateau, the Gobi Desert, the north of the Tiannanhai Sea, over the mountains and mountains, filmed and produced 12 episodes of documentaries, vividly and concretely witnessed China's road to poverty alleviation.

In the program, Su Bingtian said bluntly: "Along the way, what I want to thank most is the country. It was the help of the motherland that allowed me to walk step by step to the track of the Olympic 100-meter final. ”
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chinese athletes have repeatedly broken through the limits and created good results. At the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the Chinese team was like a bamboo, ranking first in the gold medal list for the ninth consecutive time; at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the Chinese team worked hard and ranked among the top three in the fifth consecutive Olympic Games; the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games ranked second in the number of gold medals and medals; and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics created the "best result in history".
Every step forward in history does not require the impetus of spiritual strength. Today, the people of Chinese are more confident, self-reliant, and self-reliant, greatly enhancing their ambition, backbone, and confidence, and the powerful energy accumulated in the course of history has fully exploded, radiating an unprecedented spirit of historical initiative and historical creation, and is writing the great history of China's development in the new era with confidence.
