"Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" has been wonderful for 23 years, and the stars have passed away
It was in a corner of Guangdong in 2000, and a drama called "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" became famous in the local area.
This is a sitcom that depicts the various situations and market life of ordinary people, and it didn't attract much attention when it first aired, but I didn't expect it to accompany the audience all the way for 23 years.
In the past 23 years, it has filmed more than 4,300 episodes, making it the most and longest filmed TV series in China.
Although the road was not easy and the crew wanted to give up several times, every time they thought of the audience who silently supported it, they gathered strength to move forward again.
This drama has witnessed the actors in the play from youth to old age, and has also witnessed the life process of countless audiences. For Cantonese people, especially Guangzhou people, this drama is like a shadow of their lives, and the actors in it are like relatives.
Unfortunately, these 23 years have not been all laughter. 7 important actors have passed away one after another, many of them are backbone leading actors, and their departure is a painful loss for the crew and loyal audiences.
Every New Year or important festival, I always think of the bits and pieces of their lives in this drama. Especially recently, the death of chief director Lu Xiaoguang has cast a shadow on the entire crew.
The bits and pieces that have gone through in the past 22 years have turned into an eternal wound in my heart.
