"Life" is a novella by Lu Yao, which tells a series of stories about Gao Garin, a rural youth, who was replaced by a substitute teacher.
The age of the story was set by Lu Yao in 1984, and Lu Yao was the person who came from that time, not only "Life", another feature-length masterpiece "Ordinary World", but also in the seventies and eighties.
In the remote countryside in the eighties, for those who graduated from high school and did not go to college, substitute teachers may be the only chance to change their lives.
If this opportunity is lost, Gao Garin may have spent his whole life farming in rural northern Shaanxi, and finally lived his ordinary and difficult life as an old farmer.
At the beginning of the novel, on a cloudy evening, Gogarin returns home holding his stomach and brings back bad news to his parents, his book teaching is not successful, and the substitute teacher's position is replaced by the son of the village branch secretary.
The TV series is good, at the beginning, Gogarin rode a two-eight bar on the asphalt road, and played modern extreme sports on the narrow path. Jumping up and down on my bike, I almost stomped on it.
The director is not a fool, the bicycle in 1984 is not equivalent to today's luxury car, but it is also a rare object. In those days, buying a bicycle was not something you could buy with money, and no matter how much money you had without bills, you could only do it in a hurry.
The three major pieces of marriage in the eighties, called three turns and one ring, one of which is the bicycle, it can be imagined that the status of the bicycle in the hearts of the people at that time was no less than that of a small car now.
Besides, with Gogarin's family conditions, his family could not buy such a large item as a bicycle. In the seventies and eighties, the monthly salary of coal miners was more than 30 yuan, and in the 80s, when the per capita monthly income in rural areas was a few yuan, it was necessary to save more than 100 yuan to buy bicycles.
Gogarin did not pay attention to this precious two-eighth bar at all, not only did he make a mess on the road, but he threw it on the ground like garbage when he arrived at school. I remember that in the nineties, rural people regarded bicycles as treasures, and they were wrapped in bubble bags on the beams to protect patent leather.
Also Where did the asphalt road in 1984 come from, did the director cross it? In the poor ravines in northern Shaanxi, the loess plateau is crisscrossed by ravines, yellow sand flying on sunny days, yellow water flowing on rainy days, and there are no asphalt roads in the county town, and the director may want to tell the audience that the asphalt roads in the countryside were built by the crew.
In 1984, computer-printed banners appeared, which were not available a decade later, in 1994, and computers were not seen by many people in 1994. In 1984, rural people had just eaten their stomachs, and remote villages had not yet had electricity. Throughout the nineties, the electricity supply in our village was unstable, basically no power supply during the day and intermittent power supply at night.
But the director told the audience that in northern Shaanxi in 1984, there were computer-printed banners to cheer students on. And the students have a scene of tearing textbooks and carnival after the exam, director, you are a loser, do you know. The textbooks of 1984 were of great use in the countryside, and the textbooks used for cigarettes to go to the toilet in rural areas were all textbooks, and you think that toilet paper was used in the countryside in 1984, and the textbooks were kneaded and then used as hand paper.
Therefore, the carnival of tearing textbooks could not exist at all, not only should the textbooks be kept and used and could not be torn, but even the students who could tear in that era could not do this kind of thing. Just a few years after the reform and opening up, the people's thinking is still generally relatively conservative, and whoever can't move will shout at every turn, and only after completing the exam, not all of them have been admitted to the university of their dreams.
There are asphalt roads and machine banners over there, but here they light candles to read, or red candles. Before there was no electricity in the countryside, it was common to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy two kilograms of kerosene a month, and this kerosene was saved, otherwise it would not be connected at that time.
The director let a rural family use red candles, does the director know how much a candle costs, does he know how long a candle can shine, knows whether rural people can afford red candles, you dare to let them use candles without kerosene lamps. Candles are better than kerosene lamps, but you have to let people have this strength.
In 1984, where did these neat desks come from, this kind of single desk was only purchased by the school in recent years, and in the eighties and nineties rural desks, it was a table for two people. And they are all tattered and tinkered with many times of rotten tables.
In 1984, lamps, beer, drinks and other items were also available in the countryside, and these things were affordable for rural people in 1984? Beer beverage lamps, in Beijing in 1984, were still similar, Wang Shuo, Ye Jing, Zheng Xiaolong and their generation of diehards may be able to afford it.
Director Huo Huo finished the anti-war drama, and started the Huo Huo period drama, many TV series in the seventies and eighties, the male protagonists all have modern hairstyles, and the female protagonists are wearing beautiful hair and bright white clothes.
In the seventies and eighties, the most popular hairstyle for women was to tie two large braids, and the clothes were either blue or black. You dare to wear colorful clothes and there is nowhere to buy, until the eighties and nineties, white shirts are "really good" are the most handsome clothes.
The closest thing to life in a period drama is "Longing" decades ago, not only dressing, but also talking and behaving, all in line with the personality of that era. The current director may either not know, or deliberately shoot like this to find scolding, and the more the audience scolds the TV series, the more popular it is.
