No.1
On September 19, some netizens posted a group of "nine palace grids" group photos of film and television actors from the 1980s and 1990s - Mai Wenyan, Yang Shihua, Song Dandan, Xu Xing, Jin Jia, Fu Lili, Wang Fuli, Xue Shujie, and Li Xiuming.
Among them, seeing the name "Mai Wenyan", I remembered the early Chinese TV series "Shrimp Ball Biography", remembered the theme song of the play, and also Cheng Fangyuan's famous song "Wandering Zi Yin":
"They all say that the sea is bitter and salty, and who knows the sorrow and bitterness of the wandering." Scars all over the body, full of hatred, ah wanderer's footprints, blood and tears. O wandering wanderer, wandering wandering, wandering wanderer's footprints, blood and tears..."
Writing this, Yu Wenshi involuntarily hummed this song that had made countless people cry, and his nose suddenly had some sour feelings.
The TV series "Shrimp Ball Biography" broadcast in 1982 was produced by Guangdong Television Station, which led the way, although there were only 8 episodes, but because there were very few TV series produced by the mainland at that time, it is conceivable that as soon as the episode was broadcast, it immediately caused people to watch it, and became the focus of people's tea and dinner.
"Shrimp Ball Legend" starred Zhong Hao and Mai Wenyan as male No. 1 Shrimp Ball and female No. 1 Ah Di respectively.
