Regarding history, it seems that it is not the main axis of the story of "Lights of All Homes".
Because of that long period of development and difficulty, it only took 4 episodes to skip in a hurry.
The children in the compound are not only grown up, but also all of them.
They even eventually returned to the land where they were raised.
And the older generation that once made me think to be the protagonist seems to be being replaced by their children, becoming history and monuments.
In these short 4 episodes, we not only witnessed the emergence of nuclear power from scratch, but also witnessed the hardships and efforts of the older generation of nuclear power workers.
But in the story of these 4 episodes, in addition to the contempt and disdain that Lin Tiancheng suffered when he purchased overseas.
Even the foreigner Leman, who ran to Qin Chang to oversee the work, was because of his relationship with Ye Jiaming's father.
From a person who almost destroyed Qin Chang, he became the vital international friend behind Qin Chang's successful construction.
It is not difficult to see that "Ten Thousand Lights of Your Family" has always emphasized that our country was constantly stuck in the neck of advanced Western countries in the early stage of various constructions.
However, with the efforts of countless scientific research workers, we have broken through one technical difficulty after another and achieved technical autonomy again and again.
Although in these processes, there will be various doubts and quality sounds, but with the support of the general direction of the country, we have finally achieved achievements and breakthroughs in most aspects.
And these are indeed indisputable.
But why? Why even such a TV series that is almost entirely based on real history.
Obscurity and evasion of our history and humiliation?
This is too far and far from the various unequal treaties in the late Qing and early Min dynasties, which are constantly mentioned, in terms of treatment and volume.
Just like in the fourth episode, the so-called "multinational agreement" appears, an agreement that sounds like nothing to find in history.
The real name of this so-called Multinational Agreement is the Wassenar Agreement, signed by dozens of States on 12 May 1996.
The full name of the agreement is The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Good and Technologies.
It is no exaggeration to say that when this real agreement was changed to a multinational agreement by "Promise You All Lights".
For me, this is more "humiliating" than the "unequal conditions" of the past.
And such "humiliation" does not only come from the lack of national strength, which led to other powers directly deciding to impose an embargo on you without your participation.
What's more, even today, after 27 years, our TV series dare not directly name this "insulting" agreement.
Although the content and time can be matched, he did not dare to mention his name.
How terrible is this "Wassenar Agreement" that a TV series does not even dare to mention its name?
Let's take a look at how terrible the "Wassenar Agreement" that made "Promise You All Lights" "tremble" is, and what it involves.
Let's take a look at what happened in the year the Wassenar Agreement was signed.
Because this agreement was signed on May 12, 1996, the only thing that can attract our attention is the "third Taiwan Strait crisis," which began to be brewing in 1995 and completely broke out in 1996.
Whether related to the crisis or not, a "multilateral export control mechanism for the control of conventional arms and dual-use goods" was soon created and signed.
(This article is an original article of "Hua Yuhan", and the non-"Hua Yuhan" account is all plagiarism and handling!) ）
In this agreement, although the regulated countries are not officially listed, four countries are verbally restricted by Iran, Iraq, North Korea and Libya.
At the same time, although the Wassenar Agreement is an agreement of a military nature, its member states retain a wide range of freedom.
They may decide on their own arms and related export licences in accordance with the "proliferation control principle" and "list" of the agreement, the so-called "national ownership principle".
As Ye Jiaming said in "Promise You Ten Thousand Lights", the Vassenar Agreement is all-encompassing in terms of export restrictions.
Under the "dual-use goods and technologies list" specification, export restrictions include two parts: the "basic list" and the "intermediate list".
The ten categories specified in the "Basic List" are: special materials and related equipment, material processing, electronics, computers, telecommunications, information security, sensors and lasers, navigation and avionics, marine, aerospace and propulsion, etc.
In addition to the basic list, there is a "munitions list" containing an additional 22 unmarked categories.
At the same time, the Wassenaar Agreement obliges Member States to take into account a number of special criteria.
For example, "foreign supplies other than participating countries", there are other forms of national control groups, such as the "Nuclear Suppliers Group" or the "Missile Technology Control Regime", and so on.
The countries that signed this agreement do not include our nation, which is on the road to rise.
A nation that has been bullied by the great powers for so long, which is why Ye Jiaming is so nervous.
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States.
Look at these countries, these parties to the Wassenar Agreement, these countries that worry Ye Jiaming.
Until one day in 2007, when Lin Tiancheng's son Lynch was still helpless in the face of European equipment.
The Wassenar Agreement, which Promise You Lights calls a multinational agreement, still exists.
As a TV series to be broadcast in 2023, it is still impossible to bravely say that the "multinational agreement" that has contained us for 27 years is the "Wassenar Agreement" signed in 1996 and really exists.
Although in this agreement, there is no mention of embargoes and exports to us.
But in reality? Even the Lights of All Homes have to admit that the Wassenar Agreement has at least an impact on the mainland's civilian nuclear industry.
However, based on international realities, I will not view this "agreement" in the same way as I looked at the "unequal treaties" of the past.
At least I don't feel "humiliated" from this agreement as I feel about those "unequal treaties".
What really makes me feel "humiliated" is that to this day, we still show our commitment when facing the bullying and suppression of external forces.
Just like this "Lights of Ten Thousand Homes", which looks self-reliant on the surface and shows a strong national spirit.
Although every character in the play is a character with backbone and perseverance, it is completely broken because of the title of a "protocol" in the plot.
As an ordinary person, when I knew what the Wassenaar Agreement was, when I faced the Multinational Agreement again, I only had one feeling, that is, "humiliation".
The above is my understanding and perception of episodes 1-6 of "May You Ten Thousand Lights", more wonderful analysis, see you next time!
