In 1983, a "Talk about the Yangtze River" made countless Chinese people fall for it. At that time, Chen Duo, with a commentary full of pride and passion, in the structure of the chapter and back body, in accordance with the flow direction of the Yangtze River, introduced the landscape scenery, history and culture, customs and customs of the Yangtze River flowing through the area from west to east, so that the Chinese people felt the magnificent waves of the Yangtze River, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

After 36 years of quietly passing, the 80-year-old teacher Chen Duo stood on the stage of the opening ceremony of the Third Beijing Documentary Film Week today, using his still vigorous voice to express his tribute to new Chinese documentaries and documentarians, and to express his praise for the glorious course of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
On the morning of August 23, 2019, the opening ceremony of the 3rd Beijing Documentary Video Week was held at the China Millennium Monument. At the opening ceremony, Chen Duo, Li Lihong, and Mengtong, the three generations of "documentarians", who were old, middle-aged and young, performed the poem recitation "Witnessing New China".
The opening ceremony of the 3rd Beijing Documentary Video Week recited "Witnessing New China", and the 80-year-old Chen Duo re-appeared on the stage with a pure heart, paying tribute to Chinese documentaries and documentarians
When it comes to Teacher Chen Duo, many people first think of the title of "famous program host". Teacher Chen Duo's unique voice with super recognition and elegant temperament have fascinated countless Chinese people. In Mr. Chen Duo's rich and wonderful personal history, we can find that he and the documentary are inextricably linked.
As a milestone in the history of Chinese documentaries, "Talking about the Yangtze River" is undoubtedly the most representative work of Professor Chen Duo. This documentary has created the form of China hosting TV programs with hosts, allowing hosts to communicate with the audience face-to-face, increasing the intimacy of TV programs and the sense of participation of the audience, giving Chinese audiences a refreshing feeling. Teacher Chen Duo also relied on his excellent hosting and commentary in this documentary, changed the "broadcast cavity" in the previous documentary, and won the praise of the national audience in a telling way, so that "Talking about the Yangtze River" received 40% of the ratings and set off the first rating climax of documentary programs in the history of Chinese television. Teacher Chen Duo has also become a generation of famous broadcast hosts because of his elegant image and kind explanation. Thinking back to that year, whenever the melody of "Talking about the Yangtze River" sounded, the people of the whole country quietly waited in front of the TV set, expecting Teacher Chen Duo to bring us a wonderful explanation.
In fact, as early as before the broadcast of "Talking about the Yangtze River", Chen Duo had already participated in the post-interpretation work in the Sino-Japanese co-production documentary "Silk Road". Only at that time, Teacher Chen Duo did not appear in the camera, but appeared as the host. After "Talking about the Yangtze River", Teacher Chen Duo has successively served as the host or commentator for many large-scale TV series documentaries such as "Talking about the Canal", "Ten Thousand Miles of Sea Frontier", "Shu Dao", "Developing the Great Southwest", "Fifty Years of the Long March : Song of Life", "Talking about Chinese Tea Culture", "Talking about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway", "Talking about Macao" and many other large-scale TV series.
From China's Yangtze River and canals to the distant Mesopotamia; from the glory of the Victory of the Red Army's Long March to the long aroma of Chinese tea culture; from the majestic "Heavenly Road" of the snowy plateau, to Macao, which has returned to the embrace of the motherland... Teacher Chen Duo used vivid explanations and highly symbolic time and space coordinates to bring the audience into the vast historical and geographical space, witnessing the magnificent geographical wonders and rich historical memories, giving the Chinese people the confidence and motivation to rebuild their cultural homeland, touching and inspiring generations of Chinese people to continue to forge ahead.
Because of this indissoluble love affair with the documentary, Teacher Chen Duo gladly accepted the invitation of the Organizing Committee of the Third Beijing Documentary Film Week, served as the recitation guest of the poem "Witnessing New China" at the opening ceremony, and participated in the pre-rehearsal and formal performance of the opening with the fullest enthusiasm.
Teacher Chen Duo's style is still the same
As a result, we saw on the stage of the opening ceremony of the Third Beijing Documentary Film Week, this white-haired but still energetic old man, with a still vigorous voice, praised the generations of documentary workers who recorded the development of New China, pulling the audience back to the glorious journey of New China for 70 years, leading us to relive the turbulent years of that period.
Time is merciless, taking away youth Shaohua;
Years have feelings, leaving memories that are not extinguished.
In documentary images, memories are condensed into immortality and are praised by future generations;
In the dialogue of time and space, the documentary and the creator are connected into an eternal classic.
Chen Duo, because "Talking about the Yangtze River" became a famous host in the country; "Talking about the Yangtze River", because Chen Duo became a milestone in Chinese documentaries. This is a documentary and a story of a recorder, and it is also an eternal classic memory of our country and this nation.
At the third Beijing Documentary Film Week, when Chen Duo once again met the documentary, the long-lost touch once again purified our inner world, allowing us to witness the development of new China at the same time, but also witness the persistence and persistence of the documentarians.
