"Meritorious Service" won a piece of praise and ended perfectly in the countless emotions of the audience. Although each meritorious figure has an extraordinary life and struggle history, but they all write the same emotions and ideals, their story is the epitome of the development and growth of a country, is the epic of the struggle and rise of a nation. In particular, "Huang Xuhua's Deep Diving" shows us an unknown but crucial field for the strength of the motherland - nuclear submarines, showing That China's deep-sea strategic strength has grown from scratch and from weak to strong, and this unit has vividly displayed the aspirations and patriotism of generations of scientific research achievements.

A narrative prose poem that is eloquent
"Huang Xuhua's Deep Diving" tells the story of the 30 years of "the chief designer of the first generation of nuclear submarines" Huang Xuhua from the beginning of 1958 to the success of deep diving experiments in 1988, showing the difficult process of China's independent research and development of nuclear submarines from scratch. The story of this unit is very plain, does not inject too much drama and tension, does not exalt, does not sensationalize, does not overly exert force, but shows the persistent struggle and delicate emotions of Huang Xuhua and China's "deep diving" researchers with authenticity, closeness and storytelling, the plot slowly unfolds and tells the story, and the image of the meritorious figure is displayed in front of people like a picture scroll.
The opening of the TV series does not directly introduce the tense plot of submarine research and development, but lays out a period of Huang Xuhua's acquaintance and love with his wife, which makes the drama full of warmth, and the image of the protagonist is more three-dimensional and full, laying a general tone like a narrative prose poem for the play. In particular, the opening wife Li Shiying gives Huang Xuhua a haircut, the magnificent narrative technique of the film style, the beautiful and quite textured picture, which suddenly pulls the audience back to more than 60 years ago... The detail of "haircut" has also become an important plot throughout, and has become an important node in the beginning and end of the story. The play is not "spring eyes silent and cherish the stream", but integrates a lot of emotional points, advances a little bit in the relaxed rhythm, constantly shows Huang Xuhua's belief and persistence in hiding his name and determined to strengthen the country, and effectively portrays the group portrait of the times of a group of scientific research workers, and the whole drama does not deliberately deify Huang Xuhua alone, but vividly portrays and shapes the heroic group headed by Huang Xuhua.
Multiple clues go hand in hand, with a distinct sense of logic and layering
Powerful portrayal of the deep affection of the family and the country
This TV series has many clues in the story logic, the main line and the side line go hand in hand, presenting the difficulties and difficulties of China's nuclear submarine development from multiple angles and the moving story behind it. There are two main lines on the timeline, one is the plot of Huang Xuhua and the warriors diving into the sea to carry out extreme experiments at the beginning of each episode, this clue is not long in each episode, but the thrill is full of tension, which is a "suspense line". The other is the "narrative line" of Huang Xuhua's nuclear submarine research, and the story adopts a flashback structure, which lays the groundwork for the intersection of the two lines in the last episode. This narrative line takes the important time node as the transition marker, outlines a small story, showing the difficult process and long stage of nuclear submarine research and development, making the whole story have a strong sense of logic and layering.
If the main line is to promise the country by example, it is a great ambition and love around the cause of nuclear submarines and the strength of the country, then the side line is the true feelings of flesh and blood. Yang Yang, the director of the play, said, "Huang Lao has a very strong love in his heart, he loves his career, loves his family, loves his faith, and loves this country." We see that Huang Xuhua was not "deified" in the play, but showed delicate emotions through many details. Here is the deep love between Huang Xuhua and his wife, who have worked together to support them all their lives, and a sentence of "don't miss it" is not exhaustive. Here is the father's affection for his daughter, sewing rag dolls for his daughter by hand, and watching over his daughter's bed all night anxious. Here are the sons' guilt for their parents, and the feelings of colleagues who argue and support between them. Huang Xuhua has adhered to the "submarine" all his life in the deep affection for the country and home, and has struggled all his life.
The deep sea silently buried its name, and devoted itself to casting heavy instruments for the country
The TV series reveals a strong sense of the times, which is not only a reflection of different eras in the play, closely interdependent with the process of the times, but also a contrast between the present and the past, decades of persistence, in exchange for the current national strength is strong, and the coastal defense is stable. Around this sense of the times, "Huang Xuhua's Deep Dive" hides three key words: difficult, deep diving and great love.
"Difficult" is because nuclear submarine research and development is a complex and huge project, Chinese researchers have never seen a real nuclear submarine, everything has to start from scratch. Under the historical conditions at that time, foreign experts suddenly left to take away all the research and development materials, and when the research achieved phased results, research and development was suspended for some reason, and the technical conditions were limited, and China's nuclear submarines had to be deduced little by little in the abacus, slide rule, and scale. When the extreme deep diving experiment was carried out, the soldiers left a suicide note, and in the face of the unknown, Huang Xuhua said, "As the chief division, I will dive with everyone!" "Sonorous and inspiring. China's nuclear submarine industry has too many difficulties to overcome, but all kinds of difficulties have not stopped their footsteps, Huang Xuhua and other scientific researchers withstood great pressure, little by little to the deep sea to the goal of advancing.
"Deep diving" is not only a nuclear submarine to dive deep into the ocean, but also a scientific researcher to hide his name and dive deep into this cause. In reality, Huang Xuhua said, "When you enter this field, you can't go out, you have to be an unsung hero for a lifetime, not famous." Huang Xuhua in the play truly interpreted this belief and spirit, and even his wife did not have time to tell him, nor did he have time to pack his bags, so he was summoned to Beijing, because his work needed to be highly confidential, and he also had to hide his identity from his family to the outside world. When the project was launched, he did not give up as a left-behind person, as a lonely stalker, sneaking in deeper seas, writing the enthusiasm of a generation of scientific research achievements to serve the country to the fullest, showing the era and the group of people's obscure and unswerving persistence.
"Great love" is silent, no complaints and no regrets, this drama portrays Huang Xuhua's love for the country and the love of relatives with sincerity and delicacy. Huang Xuhua, who is devoted to the cause of nuclear submarines, has not returned to his hometown to visit his relatives in 30 years, missed the opportunity to see his father for the last time, and has not been able to fulfill filial piety around his mother, he said, "Loyalty to the country is the greatest filial piety to parents." This great love and spiritual enlightenment is also reflected in the various characters in the play, Yu Lianchang, who died in the line of duty, and Huang Mu, who understands the great righteousness, all write the plain and deep love of the family and the country. At the end of the story, Huang Xuhua and his wife came to the Qingdao Naval Museum to take a photo with the nuclear submarine he developed by hand, which was the love of his life. History and reality, story and reality collide strongly at this moment, in the new era, China's coastal defense force is powerful and powerful, and it has truly become China's "needle in the sea".
The true story comes with its own highlights, "Huang Xuhua's Deep Dive" is real and plain, winning in the silence, telling the story, showing the feelings of home and country everywhere, containing silent and infinite power.
