That night happened in 2019, when an internet user claiming to be from northern China made a series of unpredictable remarks that instantly detonated the strong attention of the majority of netizens.
At first, the netizen expressed some slightly outdated opinions in the forum, which did not provoke much criticism. However, as time went on, the netizen began to openly criticize Huawei and its position on the Taiwan Strait issue, and his rhetoric became more and more intense, even making some extremely inflammatory remarks.
"As Chinese, we should ......" he always commented on the behavior of young people in this elder-like tone.
In his eyes, he seems to have enough qualifications to become a so-called "mentor" and guide the younger generation.
As a self-proclaimed northerner internet user, he should know this playful and well-known classic line. However, to everyone's surprise, he firmly denied it, claiming that he was too old to understand the true meaning of the sentence.
Just as the doubts and suspicions of netizens were intensifying, some people suddenly realized that this sentence originated from the well-received sketch "The Adventure of a Part-time Job" at the Spring Festival Gala in 1996.
This classic work was created by Zhao Lirong, a famous artist who was already in her late teens at that time, and played the leading role.
Just a seemingly illogical line "Palace jade liquor, one hundred and eighty glasses" quickly swept the country and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as soon as it appeared that year.
Countless audiences have never forgotten this witty and fascinating classic line, which has become a precious memory shared by a generation.
Back in 1996, Ms. Zhao Lirong, who had entered her old age at that time, was going all out to make final preparations for the upcoming Spring Festival Gala. As an experienced artist, Ms. Zhao Lirong naturally feels extremely honored to be able to participate in this grand event that attracts national attention.
However, at the same time, she also knows that in order to leave her own deep artistic mark on this stage that is watched by the people of the whole country, she must put in extraordinary hard work.
It was with this firm artistic pursuit that when the director sent her an invitation to perform, Teacher Zhao Lirong accepted it without hesitation.
Despite the vicissitudes of time, her physical strength has not been able to recover to her best state, but Zhao Lirong's love and enthusiasm for creation have never weakened in the slightest. For this well-crafted sketch, she resolutely decided to start from scratch and relearn the art of writing.
As a "new illiterate" who only stepped into the palace of art in her later years, Zhao Lirong did not hesitate to spend a lot of time and energy, inviting many calligraphy masters to come to guide, repeatedly copying their classic masterpieces, sometimes staring at them, sometimes splashing ink, and devoting herself wholeheartedly to every meandering of the strokes.
However, fate does not seem to have given the great artist enough forbearance. At the critical moment when there was less than a month left before the official stage performance, teacher Zhao Lirong unfortunately suffered an accident and suffered serious injuries to her legs. After a detailed examination by the doctor, the results were shocking - she actually had a bone crack in her knee! In the face of such a predicament, any ordinary person may choose to give up, but for Zhao Lirong, the importance of art is far more important than personal safety.
She has always maintained a fiery original heart and is full of deep love for the audience. It was this unwavering belief in art that made her determined without hesitation that even if she was seriously injured, she must do her best to put on a wonderful performance for everyone.
Although "The Adventures of a Part-time Worker" has been around for decades, its influence is still unparalleled. Whenever the festival comes, CCTV will always broadcast this popular classic many times, so that new and old audiences can feel the joy again and experience the endless energy brought by laughter.
It may be difficult for the younger generation of viewers to understand how an elderly artist can create such a popular work, and what kind of unique charm it contains.
In fact, it is Zhao Lirong's persistent pursuit of art and her rigorous attitude towards every detail that have created this world-renowned classic.
Take the popular phrase "palace jade liquor" as an example, since the day of its birth, it has quickly spread widely throughout the country, and no one knows it. Just a seemingly nonsensical line has such a strong vitality that it is still praised by people today.
The reason why Ms. Zhao Lirong has been able to achieve such outstanding achievements is precisely because of her deep love and dedication to art. Not only does she write the script herself, but she is also a skilled director and innovator. In the preparation of this sketch, she did not slacken to revise and polish over and over again, and always unswervingly followed her self-guidelines for any detail, and never bowed to reality.
Only when she is convinced that a certain aspect has reached the level of perfection will she accept the criticism and suggestions of others.
In addition, Teacher Zhao Lirong is even more rigorous and meticulous when guiding other actors to perform on the spot, and pursues perfection to the extreme. She will tell the actors again and again to make sure that every tiny expression and movement is perfect. Only by getting these seemingly insignificant details right can the whole work be rendered with unparalleled perfection. It is with this infinite pursuit of art that Mr. Zhao has won the love and respect of the audience.
Let's go back to 2019, when the mysterious netizen who identified himself as a northerner posted a series of incomprehensible remarks, and netizens quickly sensed a wave of bad omen. Just when the doubts became stronger, some more perceptive netizens began to realize the seriousness of the incident and called the police to report the situation to the local police.
Initially, the police did not pay enough attention to the matter, as they believed that it was just a seemingly inconsequential cyber issue. However, as more and more people took the initiative to call the police for help, all of which were concerned about the same online account, the police finally realized the importance of the matter and immediately launched a comprehensive investigation.
After some in-depth evidence collection and tracking, the final truth surprised everyone - this guy pretending to be from northern China was actually a spy hiding in China! It turned out that the spy had been operating in the cyber world, taking advantage of the convenience of the Internet to publicly disseminate all kinds of inflammatory remarks in the country.
As a foreigner, it is clear that he cannot truly understand the unique charm of Chinese culture. Therefore, when netizens asked that seemingly inconsequential question, he looked embarrassed and helpless. If you change to an authentic Chinese, you will definitely be able to understand this widely praised classic line.
However, the spy fails to perceive the humor and essence of traditional Chinese culture behind it, thus revealing his identity as a foreigner.
Let's look at the whole process of this incident, we can't help but feel deep admiration for Teacher Zhao Lirong. This outstanding artist, who has entered his later years, poured a lot of effort and hard work into the creation of this masterpiece "The Adventures of a Part-time Worker".
In addition to constantly carving and improving the script, Mr. Zhao also worked personally to guide the actors in live performances.
In Ms. Zhao's eyes, every detail needs to be carefully polished until it meets her strict high standards. Only in this way can the whole work show the best stage effect.
Therefore, teacher Zhao Lirong often reminded the actors repeatedly at the rehearsal site: "The expression here should be more exaggerated"; "The movement over there needs to be slowed down a bit." Her perseverance and perseverance have won the deep respect of all the crew members.
The most touching thing is that when the sketch was officially staged, Teacher Zhao Lirong unfortunately suffered an accident and suffered a serious fracture of both legs. However, even in the face of such a heavy blow, her persistent pursuit of art remains steadfast.
She didn't hesitate to move on, even if she was physically and mentally exhausted, to put on a great show for the audience.
During the rehearsal, Ms. Zhao Lirong had to endure severe pain and march hard, but she never showed the slightest dissatisfaction. On the contrary, she always has a warm smile on her face, encouraging the actors around her: "You don't have to be anxious, just pay your full attention, and everything will go well!" This optimistic spirit deeply touched everyone present.
In fact, this is not the first time that Zhao Lirong has been injured on stage. As early as a few years ago, in another sketch "So Packaged", she accidentally fell to the ground, resulting in a serious knee injury.
Despite the intense pain, she gritted her teeth and persevered to finish the show. It is this tenacious fighting spirit that has created her artistic brilliance today.
