Now that China's high-speed rail is so developed, it has become a very calm and simple thing for the wanderer to "go home".
But for some people, the road home is really hard, and their eyes are full of tears.
In 1949, millions of young and middle-aged soldiers retreated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang. At that time, they thought they would be able to go home in three or five years, so most of them just packed their simple bags and hurried to the road.
But I didn't expect that this would be decades. And since then, it has been cut off from his hometown. When these soldiers entered their old age from youth and adulthood, the nostalgia that was as heavy as a mountain of wine inadvertently dyed their sideburns and bent their aging backbone.
Going home to visit their old mothers seemed to be the only reason they insisted on living.
In March 2014, director Zhang Guoli presented the TV series "Yuanxiang", which shows the hometown of Taiwanese veterans and homesick returns to the audience. As soon as the drama was broadcast on a golden file on CCTV, it had a strong response in the audience.
Many netizens have said that this is a rare good drama, daring to face history head-on, and full of warmth, interpreting the family affection between the two sides of the strait and the heart of a veteran soldier in Taiwan Province who is in a foreign country but his heart is in his hometown.
A bay of straits, cutting flesh and bones; Thousands of barriers cannot stop the two sides of the strait from concentrically.
Too many netizens said that watching "Yuanxiang", crying while watching, crying a lot. The same is true of Yaqing. Not only did I see tears gushing for the first time, but I also watched it countless times later, and I also watched it once and cried once, and it was difficult to restrain myself.
Now it has been 8 years since the premiere of "Original Hometown", but it is still a rare masterpiece in the hearts of more audiences. On Douban, it also scored a high score of 8.7 points. Nearly 90% of netizens have given them 4-star and 5-star praise.
I think this is the best drama directed by Zhang Guoli.
What's so good about it?
The good thing is that it is emotionally moving, and it is real and believable.
The wonderful interpretation of a number of old drama bones has played a role in "icing on the cake" for the play.
The most touching thing about the TV series "Original Hometown" lies in the true feelings it embodies. This not only includes the strong homesickness of Hong Gensheng, Du Shouzheng, Eight Hundred Hei, and other veterans of Taiwan Province's dependent villages, but also includes strong family affection, pure love, sincere friendship, and profound cross-strait compatriotism.
There are several scenes in the play, which is unbearable to look back.
For example, Eight Hundred Black sang the Shanxi Zizi of his hometown with a rough voice: "Thinking of the old mother, not by the liver and intestines of the people, thinking of the old woman, not by the tears spilled on the chest." Seeing you, Mother Gao, it is rare to see each other, the old lady of the child..." Although it is not on the tune at all, the nostalgia that permeates the air has all fallen on our hearts.
For example, Fu Youcheng thought about his family who had been separated for many years day and night, in order to go home and be reunited with his relatives, he desperately jumped into the sea and wanted to swim back to the mainland, and after being arrested, he almost died, and after being driven to madness, he kept chanting the names of his relatives.
RuGensheng and Cha Sister-in-law are worried about each other. Although Gensheng married in Taiwan Province, he still remembered The Tea Sister-in-law in his heart. When the two finally met again after more than 30 years, they were speechless, and the scene was too tear-inducing. "When you drift too far, don't forget that your home is always behind you..." The moment was tear-jerking.
After Du Shouzheng finally returned to the mainland, he did not go back to his own home first, but first went to send the mother of eight hundred blacks to the end, and prostrated his head in front of the tomb of the second old man for Gensheng. When he met an old mother who was looking forward to her returning to blindness, although he did not know the old mother's son, he still disguised himself as a comrade-in-arms to fulfill the mother's greatest wish.
There is also Lu Changgong, the "cold-blooded animal" who was originally recognized by everyone, after seeing the video of the old mother that Du Shouzheng took for him, his heart instantly collapsed, and homesickness and motherhood surged into his heart like a tide. So he changed from a veteran of surveillance to a veteran of helping, and even finally joined the march asking to return to the mainland to visit his relatives.
What is homesickness? What is conjugal love? What is a camaraderie? In the TV series "Original Hometown", there are the most sincere restorations and displays.
Another place that touches people's hearts is its authenticity. The play was inspired by a reportage essay about veterans in Taiwan Province that Zhang Guoli read in 2008. Then he had a strong creative impulse and wanted to shoot this story that had been insisted on for 38 years just to go home to see his mother.
From the preparation of this drama in 2008 to the completion of filming in 2013, it took a total of 5 years, and the script alone has been changed countless times. He selected real people and real events that appeared in real history, and then created a group of vivid images of veterans of Taiwan Province through simple and unpretentious expression techniques.
Because it's real, it's moving.
In fact, in the TV series "Original Hometown", due to various reasons such as length, there are some shocking real cases, which are not shown. For example, we saw in a documentary that a veteran of Taiwan Province was preparing to return to Taiwan after returning to the mainland to visit his relatives, but his hair-bound wife was clinging to the veteran's legs and not letting go.
There is also an 80-year-old veteran of Taiwan Province, carrying the ashes of more than 100 fellow comrades-in-arms, returning to his hometown to settle down. Thinking of "Yuanxiang", Hong Gensheng said to Eight Hundred Black: "Eight hundred black, you remember, no matter who dies first and who dies later, we will send the ashes of the first death back to the hometown, bury it next to Daddy, and reunite with Daddy." "I don't feel the tears falling like rain.
Chinese has always paid attention to "recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors", so no matter how far the mountains and the water are, it is difficult to block the "homecoming" road of the veterans of Taiwan Province.
No one who has cried late at night is not enough to talk about life.
What could be more important than home, than daddy, than flesh and blood reunion?
That's the great power of emotion.
The TV series "Original Hometown" also has a point of view, that is, good actors get together. Watching them play on the same stage is really enjoyable. And their superb acting skills make the play exude a magnificent color.
Among them, 10 old drama bones impressed us the most.
In the play, the male number one Hong Gensheng is played by Zhang Guoguo. He was one of the show's initiators. He has a strong sense of identification with the tragic fate of hong gensheng, an accurate grasp of the formation and psychological changes of the character, and his experienced expression, so it is also easy to play the role of Gensheng.
In the play, he portrayed Gensheng as a cautious but kind and generous veteran, and portrayed it with touching heart. In the face of the caution of the road chief, the open-mindedness in the face of comrades-in-arms, and the helplessness and shame in the face of his wife, he interpreted them accurately and in place, and was good at moving people with affection.
The tea sister-in-law who plays Hong Gensheng's wife is Xi Meijuan, who is known for her elegant temperament and superb acting skills. Her profound acting skills make the role of tea sister-in-law more vivid and touching. Her performances always seem to be light and not intense, but we can feel the emotional power of the heart.
There is a famous scene in the play, that is, Gensheng and The tea sister-in-law have a dialogue in the air, and the two old drama bones sincerely and delicately interpret a couple looking at each other across the sea, the endless thoughts and concerns, and the emotions are seamlessly connected. The audience involuntarily burst into tears.
When it comes to the name Ma Shaohua, many viewers think that he is a "treasure actor" and what he plays. Yaqing thought so. He has played both sun yat-sen, the "father of the nation" in "Walking Through the Republic", and Xie Boss, a migrant worker in "Migrant Workers for Survival", which can be said to be so vivid every time. In "Yuanxiang", Du Shouzheng, who he played, also presented a performance that retracted freely.
Whether it is Du Shou's deep affection in the face of Meiru, or the wit of locking Zhuang Liqi in the bathroom, Ma Shaohua vividly shows it with impeccable acting skills, and captures the audience's heart when lifting weights.
In "Yuanxiang", we also see Feng Enhe, the "Wu Station Manager" in "Latent", this time playing Yue Zhichun, a retired general of the Kuomintang, but a strong supporter of the veterans returning to their hometowns. Feng Enhe seems to be able to give people a sense of majesty without makeup. He is good at showing the character's behavior without alarm and anger through his controlling eyes, expressions and movements. However, the meticulous performance can make the audience feel his keen insight, and the uneasiness and panic that flash in his eyes, which makes people sincerely praise his acting skills.
Song Xiaoying is really beautiful, and her temperament is like lan. It is simply fitting that she will play the "Goddess of the Republic of China" Lady Yu. Between her hands and feet, she has both the demeanor of everyone and the charm of a Nanyin artist, but the lingering sadness under her eyes has presented the unspeakable hidden pain in her heart. Good actors don't seem to have to talk, and wherever they go, they already have a sense of independence.
Zhu Decheng is not a very famous actor, but the eight hundred blacks he played in the play did not know how many people's hearts were touched. The former long-term film studio male star who played The Oil Baby in "Entrepreneurship" and Zhu Tiehan in "Cotai Strip" appeared in "Original Hometown" many years later, and his acting skills became more and more mature and exquisite, and the excavation of the inner drama of the character was also more layered. In the process of watching "Original Hometown", many of the scenes he starred in made Yaqing can't help but cry. This speaks volumes about his success in acting.
Another heart-wrenching role in "Yuanxiang" is Fu Youcheng, played by Yang Huaimin. Fu Youcheng was a poor man, when he was 15 years old, he was arrested zhuangding, he was taken to Taiwan without understanding, he always missed his relatives at home, thought of many ways to return to the mainland, and even thought of swimming across the sea back to Fuzhou, and finally became ill and became delirious. Actor Yang Huaimin truly presents Fu Youcheng's living state, and the performance is relaxed and measured, which makes people sigh at Fu Youcheng's fate.
In addition, in "Yuanxiang", there are two old mother images, which are also difficult to forget, that is, the eight hundred black mother played by Wang Liyuan and the mother of Lu Changgong played by Wang Caiping. These two old drama bones, one is an actor of the Air Politics Repertory Theatre and the other is an actor of Sichuan Renyi, have accumulated rich performance experience on the stage, and the roles they play are also so touching.
Wang Liyuan actually has only one heavy scene in the play, that is, when her life is in danger, she hears the voice of her son's eight hundred blacks and sees the video of her son. In this play, Wang Liyuan used a sincere and emotional performance to show the mixed feelings of an old man after learning of his son's news. Finally, in the son's singing song of "wiping away the old woman's hot tears and cheeks", the old man was full of tears and swallowed his last breath.
How can this scene not bring tears to one's eyes?
Wang Caiping's role in "Yuanxiang" is also pitiful, but the performance is extremely shocking. When Lu Changgong saw the image of his mother in the videotape, he couldn't cry and couldn't get up on his knees. Wang Caiping used his emotional performance to awaken a "obsessive" "idiot": "Zhenbang, I am mom, Bang'er, you have been gone for 35 years, my mother has not missed you a day, I think of you every day, I look forward to you every day, Bang'er, my mother is old, I can't live for a few days, I just want to see you again..." This sound and sentence are all hit in the heart of Lu Changgong. Although Wang Caiping interpreted the whole process in Sichuan dialect, the audience was completely immersed in the atmosphere created by the old artist.
Although the old drama bones in "Yuanxiang" are gathered, when I watched the scene where Chen Baoguo knelt in front of his mother's videotape, I immediately identified him as one of the best actors in the whole play. He completely unleashed his emotions and entered a state of self-forgetfulness, crying like a lost child.
A good performance can always arouse the empathy of the audience at the first time. Chen Baoguo undoubtedly did this.
I think the subtlety of Chen Baoguo's performance is that he shows several layers of the transformation process of Lu Changgong as a character, and Shi Baoheng's death makes him close his heart, but his mother's video tape makes him completely open the door of his heart. In very ordinary shots, he shows the interpretation of the intestines. Make the audience involuntarily enter the play with him, and immerse themselves in the emotions of the characters, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.
Chen Baoguo's performance is meticulous and impeccable.
Since the premiere of the TV series "Original Hometown" on March 12, 2014, it has been at the top of the ratings list. Because it vividly reproduces the simple feeling of homesickness that penetrates into the marrow of every Chinese, and expresses the fact that the descendants of the two sides of the strait have the same roots and are inseparable.
Looking at "The Original Hometown" now, there are many thoughts, what wanderer who has left home does not long to return to his mother's arms? What mother doesn't want her child to "come home" sooner? However, there are always some unscrupulous descendants who abandon the national righteousness for the sake of their own selfish desires, and even confess to being thieves as fathers, harboring evil intentions. However, their evil deeds, no doubt in the mantis arm as a car, will be crushed by the wheel of history.
No one can stop the pace of the reunification of the motherland, and no one can cut the blood connection of the descendants of Yan Huang.
I hope that the motherland will realize reunification at an early date, which is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
So do you remember this "Original Hometown"? Have you ever been deeply moved? Which of the best actors is the actor? Welcome to communicate with more netizens through the message area. I am Yaqing and thank you again for your attention. Friends remember to like, collect and share, we will meet again at the same time tomorrow.
