The main theme drama "The Glory of the Fathers" starring Zhang Wanyi , Guo Tao , Liu Lin , Zhang Yue , Li Haofei , Zhou Fang , etc. seamlessly follows "Ice and Snow Sharp Knife Company", which is also Zhang Wanyi's latest TV series, following "Sauvignon Blanc" starring him. The story takes the changes in forestry in the 90s as the background, and from the perspective of the story of Gu Changshan's family starring Guo Tao, it depicts the embarrassment and growth of everyone in the background of the times in an all-round and multi-level manner, the support and preservation of the Northeast family, and the dreams and inheritance of three generations of foresters. Chen Xingjie, played by Zhang Wanyi, is a righteous son who was adopted by Gu Changshan. Let's take a look together!
At the end of the 90s of the 20th century, Gu Changshan and Chen Xingjie's father were both forestry workers in Sandaogou, and when Chen Xingjie's father unfortunately died in the line of duty in the process of logging, Gu Changshan took the initiative to adopt Chen Xingjie, the son of his comrade-in-arms, and also adopted Liang Fengqin, who was ruthlessly sent to the Gu family by his biological mare Bigfoot, and adopted Liu Yuliang's son Liu Ziqiang, plus his own son and stepson (Gu Zhaoxi and Gu Zhaocheng), a total of five children. The family that is not rich, because of the increasing number of personnel, makes the family's living expenses more stretched, and the wife played by Liu Lin saves flowers and can't wait to break a penny into two.
With the depletion of the resources of the extractable forest in Sandaogou, the entire forestry industry began to "reduce production, limit logging, and lay off jobs, and the life of Gu Changshan's family was even worse, which means that Gu Changshan, like other 923 team members, faced the choice of staying or going out for the first time. At this time, Chen Xingjie yearned for the outside world and vowed to leave the forest farm through the college entrance examination, but this dream was destroyed by a heavy rain that had not happened in a century, but Gu Changshan still decided to give Chen Xingjie another year, in this year, the sensitive and introverted Chen Xingjie also gradually integrated into the big family of seven, and he later went to Guangzhou to study and work.
Gu Changshan led the people who did not go out of the forest area to set up a "family ecological forest", although it temporarily solved the livelihood, but the symptoms were not cured, and poverty still could not be shaken off. When the migration project in the deep mountain and remote forest areas began, in response to the policy of protecting the ecology and improving people's livelihood, Gu Changshan and 923 workers once again faced the problem of getting out of the forest farm. At this time, Chen Xingjie had married Lin Xiaoqing and settled in Guangzhou, because he received the task of the organization to return to Sandaogou, when he decided to return to the forest farm, then where should he and Lin Xiaoqing's marriage go (or after they got married, did the values of the two slowly different)?
Chen Xingjie's return made him realize that his family's plight was not economic, but ideological, so under the call of "gold and silver mountains are not as good as green water and green mountains", he had the idea of opening up a new business with his family and more people in forest areas. At the same time, Gu Changshan's youngest daughter Liang Fengqin also returned to her hometown with the dream of turning Sandaogou into a national park, which coincided with Chen Xingjie's idea, so the two joined hands to lead new and old forestry workers to do what they said, and finally broke out a new future and lived a happy life.
It can be said that "The Glory of Fathers" actually describes the life changes of three generations of Northeast Forest Farm: the first generation begins with the older generation of forester Song Liuxi reviewing his past logging experience, and the sentence "watching trees fall, but leaving no blessings for future generations", indicates a great change in the life of foresters under the tide of the times; The representative of the second generation of forestry workers is Gu Changshan, who actively led his workers to find a new way out after losing his job on the forest farm; As the third generation of foresters, Chen Xingjie actively responded to the call of "gold and silver mountains are not as good as green water and green mountains", and returned to his hometown to lead foresters to continue to struggle.
