Preface
Time flies, the years change, once upon a time, each of us lived in the heart of a "little soldier Zhang Ga".
That witty, brave, righteous and kind boy led us on an unforgettable journey of the Anti-Japanese War.
Now, when we look back again, do we still remember those child stars who brought us laughter and touch? What kind of life did they live? Let's follow the footsteps of time, walk into the story of the reunion of the child star of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", explore the fragments of memory that have been submerged by the years, and feel the joy and confusion of growing up.
1. "Little Soldier Zhang Ga": a classic engraved in the memory of a generation
In 2004, when the opening song of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" sounded, an unusual anti-Japanese war drama kicked off.
Adapted from writer Xu Guangyao's novel of the same name, this TV series takes us back to that era of gunpowder from a unique children's perspective.
Baiyangdian, a place name that seems to have nothing to do with the war, has become a stage for a group of children to grow up.
Here, we see vivid images of children: the brave and witty Zhang Ga, the innocent and kind Yingzi, and the honest and lovely Fat Dun...... They shouldered the burden of resistance with their immature shoulders and lit up the war-torn years with their innocent hearts.
Their story has touched countless audiences, and it has also made this drama an indelible childhood memory for a generation.
The charm of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" lies not only in the ups and downs of the plot, but also in its profound portrayal of war trauma and children's psychology.
Through the eyes of children, we see the cruelty and injustice of war, and the tenacity and hope of life.
In a unique way, this drama perfectly interweaves history and humanity to create a rare masterpiece of children's themes.
2. Becoming acquainted with the play: the popular "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" child stars
The success of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is inseparable from a group of excellent young actors.
Xie Mengwei, Wang Shasha, Du Yu and other child stars, with their sincere interpretation, gave the characters in the play fresh vitality.
Xie Mengwei, who plays Zhang Ga, vividly interprets the image of this witty and brave teenager.
His smart eyes, as if he could speak, revealed the naughtiness and sense of justice of a young man.
Yingzi, played by Wang Shasha, shows the image of a strong and kind girl with an innocent and simple temperament.
And the fat dun played by Du Yu warmed the hearts of countless audiences with his honest and lovely smile.
These child stars shouldered heavy roles with their immature shoulders and touched the hearts of the audience with sincere emotions.
Their names seem to be closely associated with the characters in the play since then, and have become a lingering memory in the hearts of a generation of audiences.
3. The passage of time: the life trajectory of former child stars
Time flies, and the white horse flies.
In the blink of an eye, "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" has accompanied us through 20 spring and autumn seasons.
Those child stars who have brought us laughter and emotion in the play have also grown up and started a new chapter in their lives.
Zhang Yishan, a child star who once became popular with the role of "Gazi", became a well-known child star again with the role of Liu Xing in "Family with Children" after "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
Although he once fell into a low point in his career after that, with his own efforts and talent, he used the online drama "Residual Sin" to achieve a gorgeous turn and became a hot popular student.
Today's Zhang Yishan is already the darling of the entertainment industry, and his popularity and resources are continuous.
Wang Shasha, the girl who once impressed us with her sincere acting skills, starred in "Wulin Gaiden" after "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and successfully created the role of Mo Xiaobei.
Although her appearance does not fully conform to the current mainstream aesthetics, she is still active on the screen with her own efforts and persistence.
Today's Wang Shasha, although not very popular, has already occupied a place in the entertainment industry.
And Xie Mengwei, a teenager who once conquered the audience with the role of "Gazi", chose to enter the Central Academy of Opera for further study after "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
After graduating, although he also participated in many film and television works, he never surpassed the shadow of "Gazi".
Compared with several other child stars, Xie Mengwei is not well-known today, but he is still working silently in the film and television industry, interpreting the value of actors in his own way.
As for Du Yu, the actor of Fat Dun in the play, he faded out of the public eye after "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
The once honest and cute little fat man is now gone, which is embarrassing.
4. Reunion across time: 31-year-old "Gazi" and 28-year-old "Yingzi"
In 2018, Xie Mengwei and Wang Shasha reunited after many years.
This time, Xie Mengwei, who has become a father, and Wang Shasha, who is still single, got together again.
Although the years have taken away the youthful face, the innocent friendship has not diminished at all.
At this time, Xie Mengwei already had his own family.
Although his wife is an outsider, there are also actors in the family.
The husband and wife are harmonious and ming, with both children and daughters, and live a happy and happy life.
Although Xie Mengwei's reputation is not high, he seems to have found his own meaning and happiness in life.
And Wang Shasha, during her study, stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, devoted herself to learning, and improved herself.
Now that she has returned to the screen, although her appearance is no longer as young as a girl, the years have given her a more elegant and confident temperament.
She uses wisdom and calmness to interpret the charm of a mature woman.
This reunion is a special gift from time.
The friends who used to play together now have different life trajectories.
But the happy times of filming together in those years, the innocent and flawless friendship, are forever engraved in each other's hearts.
They chatted about the past and their ideals, as if they had gone back in time, returning to Baiyangdian many years ago and returning to that carefree childhood.
5. The imprint of growth: the precious memories that time cannot take away
The reunion between Xie Mengwei and Wang Shasha is the best gift of time to them.
From young and ignorant child stars to mature and stable actors, they have gone through an important stage of life and experienced the joy and confusion of growing up.
In the process, they may have hesitated and confused, but they never gave up their dreams.
With sweat and hard work, they carve their lives step by step.
And those characters who have brought them laughter and emotion have also become an indelible mark on their lives.
This reunion is not only a beautiful encounter, but also a heart-to-heart dialogue.
The tacit understanding of filming together and the touching of growing up together have all been sublimated at this moment.
They understand that youth will eventually pass away and their faces will eventually change, but those precious friendships and memories will remain in their hearts forever and become the most valuable wealth on the road of life.
