The series begins in the 1970s, telling the story of a group of young people with various dreams and writing the ups and downs of different destinies. Xiao Chunsheng (played by Xiao Zhan), Tong Xiaomei (played by Li Qin), Ye Guohua (played by Liu Ruilin), He Hongling (played by Cao Feiran), Chen Hongjun (played by Cui Hang) and other people composed of the "Shichahai Squad" constitute a group portrait of the times.

As the backbone of the plot, Xiao Chunsheng represents an ideal personality in the times.

As a Beijing youth in a specific era, Xiao Chunsheng and his sister depend on each other, and they have to take care of their sick father, and their life is not good. All this did not suppress Xiao Chunsheng's ambition. True to his name, he is like a new shoots that are growing hard in spring, optimistic, youthful, energetic, exuberant, full of youthful heroism.

Xiao Chunsheng (played by Xiao Zhan)

In the "Shichahai Small Detachment", people with better origins and families than Xiao Chunsheng abound, but Xiao Chunsheng has become the backbone and "opinion leader" of everyone: peers like to get together with Xiao Chunsheng, and they are used to discussing things with Xiao Chunsheng, and they are also willing to listen to the suggestions and opinions given by Xiao Chunsheng... Xiao Chunsheng is not necessarily the oldest of these young people, but he is the "big brother" on the spiritual level.

Where does Xiao Chunsheng's personality charm come from? The key point is that he is "good enough".

The personality that Xiao Chunsheng admires, in fact, he also has it

"Bureaucracy" is an old Beijing dialect used to describe a person who is righteous and bold, obeys the rules and does not play tricks, and is not afraid of his own losses when working with others, nor bullying others.

"Bureaucracy" is definitely not reckless, arrogant, and arrogant, and "bureaucracy" has always been premised on the "courtesy" and "reason" of old Beijingers. "Etiquette" means etiquette, righteousness and shame, heavy feelings and righteousness, and ancient road warmth; "Reason" means that the right and wrong are clear, do not stick to the old ways, do not cling to the old morals and concepts, but have the open-mindedness, wisdom and openness of a new generation of young people, have opinions about life and feelings, do not follow the crowd, and do not follow the crowd.

The drama's presentation of Xiao Chunsheng's "situation" is not just a concept and slogan, but relies on a full of details to make the characters firmly established.

For example, from the beginning, he and Tong Xiaomei, who were secretly reading in the library, could feel each other's existence, but they did not disturb each other. When the administrator heard a strange sound in the library and entered the library to check, in order to avoid Tong Xiaomei being discovered, Xiao Chunsheng deliberately threw the book on the ground and led the administrator to his side, so that Tong Xiaomei could seize the opportunity to escape smoothly. After that, he "fought wits and courage" to leave the library unharmed.

At that time, Xiao Chunsheng's practice of self-exposure was to take certain risks. But in order to protect the dream of a girl who met Pingshui to study, he bravely stepped forward.

Later, on the ice rink in Shichahai, his good brother was given a "flying hat" by the recalcitrant owner in the alley, and the head of the recalcitrant lord was called Qi Tian (played by Lu Nuo). "Flying hat" is a term with a sense of age, referring to the Beijing winter in the sixties and seventies of the last century, a group of people specially let the hat worn on other people's heads "fly" into their hands, which is a kind of provocative "robbery". As the backbone of the squad, Xiao Chunsheng naturally wanted to help his brother get justice.

Xiao Chunsheng stood up for his brother

Xiao Chunsheng's way of seeking justice is still a "reason" word, and he does not play tricks or ruthless fights. For example, there is a gangster leader in the alley who has a feud with Qi Tian and wants to take advantage of the contradiction between Xiao Chunsheng and Qi Tian to bring down Qi Tian.

Xiao Chunsheng flatly refused, "No, no, you listen to me, my business is my business, your enemy is your enemy, don't mix." ”

Xiao Chunsheng does not do things that are not authentic

When he learned that Qi Tian had gathered a group of people to prepare for a "stubble fight", Xiao Chunsheng chose to go alone. But those who lectured on righteousness naturally also received the righteous qi of others, and after the brethren learned that Xiao Chunsheng went alone, they quickly gathered and rushed over. However, in the end, Xiao Chunsheng chose to shake hands with Qi Tian and make peace, because what he wanted to get back for his brother was the word "reason", rather than overthrowing the other party, expanding and aggravating the conflict.

For example, the good brother Ye Guohua has a girl who fell in love at first sight, but he didn't know where to find her, Xiao Chunsheng promised to help the good brother, "help you find her, and then help you chase her." Ye Guohua was overjoyed, "Really? Xiao Chunsheng was full of confidence: "Did I promise you that the things fell off the chain."

Not only sticking knives in the ribs of the brother in the crisis, but also escorting the brother emotionally, it is really reassuring to have such a good brother cover.

Xiao Chunsheng is very reliable

The good brother Chen Hongjun got into trouble and stabbed others in the eyes in an incident provoked by the other party first, Xiao Chunsheng settled Chen Hongjun, and also took the initiative to help Chen Hongjun shoulder the responsibility, "Hongjun is big and big with me, I support a big one, it is his eldest brother, and I will carry the disaster he broke into today." ”

Xiao Chunsheng dared to take responsibility

Later, on the way to resume the first exam of the college entrance examination in 1977, the other party was ready to tear up Chen Hongjun's admission ticket as retaliation. At the moment of the attack, it was Xiao Chunsheng who arrived in time and took a fork for Chen Hongjun, allowing Chen Hongjun to successfully participate in the college entrance examination, but he lost blood and fainted.

Xiao Chunsheng really inserted a knife in the ribs for his brother

In terms of feelings, Xiao Chunsheng's good impression of the hutong girl He Hongling also carries a trace of righteousness and gentlemanship.

He Hongling's family is poor, and Xiao Chunsheng always helps He Hongling from time to time. When he learned that He Hongling, whom Ye Guohua liked, was also devoted to him Xiao Chunsheng, Chunsheng did not give He Hongling pressure to choose, because Ye Guohua's family situation was much better than his family, and Ye Guohua could indeed give He Hongling more help in material and life planning. When He Hongling got the opportunity to be a literary soldier, Xiao Chunsheng did not keep He Hongling by his side out of any selfishness, and he was willing to fulfill He Hongling's dream.

Xiao Chunsheng supports He Hongling's dream

Although Ye Guohua hurt himself a little selfishly because of He Hongling, Xiao Chunsheng was also able to smile and feud with Ye Guohua: "If you want to apologize, hurry up, I'll panic for you." ”

Xiao Chunsheng is very tolerant

Going to the army has always been Xiao Chunsheng's dream, but due to family reasons, he couldn't go for the time being, and his good brother and a girl with a good impression joined the army at the same time, and he was left behind.

But what is rare is that Xiao Chunsheng has never pityed himself or abandoned himself because of this, and he has never blamed his father for this. When his sister was worried that his father would affect Xiao Chunsheng's future, Xiao Chunsheng corrected, "Sister, dad is not a drag, he is a hero", in turn comforting his sister who is worried about his future; When Ye Guohua embarrassed Xiao Chunsheng, who had failed to become a soldier, in person because of jealousy, Xiao Chunsheng was neither humble nor arrogant, "I haven't had a political trial, I don't feel ashamed... I can afford to wait for this time."

Xiao Chunsheng never complained

At this point, the character of Xiao Chunsheng has fully established. He is righteous, frank, open-minded, reasonable, ambitious, and sacrificial, and is the soul of the "Shichahai Squad". At the same time, Xiao Chunsheng also contains the creator's imagination and expectations for the ideal personality, that is, consider others in everything and pay attention to the overall situation.

Xiao Chunsheng has an ideal personality

With the advent of reform and opening up, Xiao Chunsheng will inevitably have a broader stage, and his temperament and openness are also destined for him to have greater achievements in the big era.

From today's perspective, Xiao Chunsheng is a "post-50s generation" and the father of today's young people. "The Sea of Dreams" takes the audience back not only to the "sea in the dream", but also to the youth and struggle of the fathers. I hope that this generation of young audiences can draw strength from it and write our youth stories.
