The annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala has just ended, once again injecting a joyful atmosphere into the family reunion. Looking back at the Language Programs of the Spring Festival Gala that accompanied us in those years, I believe that many fragments are still vividly remembered. In the latest episode Chinese of the second season of "Thank You, My Home" that will be broadcast on CCTV-4 at 19:30 on CCTV-4( CCTV-4), Zhao Lirong's eldest son Sheng Fuchun and Zhao Lirong's second son, Sheng Daming, will talk about their mother's Spring Festival Gala story with the host Ju Ping. Wu Zuguang, Wu Shuang, daughter of Xin Fengxia, and Mei Lanfang's daughter-in-law Tu Zhen and great-grandson Mei Wei will tell about what warm family culture?
Thinking about it for three months behind closed doors Zhao Lirong's two sons exposed their mother's Anecdotes about the Spring Festival Gala
She debuted on the Spring Festival Gala stage at the age of 60, her kind face and funny interpretation impressed people, and she has presented people with popular sketches for eight Spring Festival Galas; she is illiterate, but in order to perform, she learns English, sings RAP, dances tango, and practices calligraphy, and is an all-round "sketch master". Unconsciously, Zhao Lirong has been dead for 19 years, and new faces on the Spring Festival Gala stage year after year continue to be made, but Zhao Lirong's voice and smile are still nostalgic. In this issue, Zhao Lirong's sons Sheng Fuchun and Sheng Daming will reveal their mother's Spring Festival Gala "Cultivation Record".

In the view of the eldest son, Sheng Fuchun, his mother is an artistic genius who "acts honestly and does things in a down-to-earth manner". As long as she shoots and takes on tasks, she will make preparations without sleeping or eating. In order to practice the four words of "authenticity" in "The Adventures of Migrant Work", Zhao Lirong even had to practice a few strokes when she got up at night. The second son, Sheng Daming, broke the anecdote that his mother would "think behind closed doors" for three months after the Spring Festival Gala performance. According to his recollection, after the Spring Festival Gala every year, his mother has to go to the rural courtyard to rest for more than three months to "store up", what are the special Spring Festival Gala memories that Zhao Lirong used to "think behind closed doors" before she died?
Although Zhao Lirong brought joy and laughter to the audience in a comedic way on the stage, she suffered from illness in her later years. In 1999, Zhao Lirong, who was terminally ill with cancer, surprised the audience with an English song, and the final confessional song title "My Heart Is Eternal" just confirmed her lifelong commitment to the audience. To this day, Sheng Fuchun is still heartbroken when he remembers his mother's illness. How did Zhao Lirong overcome her illness to complete the final curtain of the Spring Festival Gala? What are her tricks in terms of family education?
Oath to wait for her husband for eighteen years Wu Zuguang and the daughter of Xin Fengxia talk about their parents' love
Zhao Lirong's pursuit of "authenticity" in performance has brought the audience one immortal classic after another, and Wu Zuguang and Xin Fengxia have influenced their daughter's life with a firm and optimistic attitude towards life and "beautiful love". One is the "great god" who created China's first anti-war drama at the age of nineteen, the other is the "pacesetter" who created a new pattern of drama criticism art, and the combination of Wu Zuguang and Xin Fengxia has achieved the most high-profile "Xiaguang Love" in the literary and art circles in the 20th century, which still moves the world to this day, and more foreign media compare the two to "Duke Windsor and His Wife".

According to Wu Shuang's recollection, her mother bravely pursued love for her father in spite of her family's opposition, and the wedding of the two was "unprecedented" after that. At the end of 1951, in the compound of the European and American Returned Scholars Association along the South River in Beijing, Wu Zuguang and Xin Fengxia held a wedding ceremony in the form of a cocktail party. On the same day, Guo Moruo, Yang Hansheng, Ouyang Yuqian, Zhao Dan, Huang Zongying and other masters of literary and art circles, as well as folk artists Hou Baolin, attended one after another, and even Premier Zhou Enlai almost came to witness the love between the two.
In 1957, Wu Zuguang was wrongly classified as a rightist, treated unfairly, and imprisoned. In the face of everyone's persuasion, Xin Fengxia, who already had three children, swore to wait for Wu Zuguang. At the scene, Wu Shuang excitedly said that her mother had said: "There is a Wang Baojun in the play, she has waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years, I can wait for 28 years, I don't care." Therefore, Xin Fengxia spent three years waiting for Wu Zuguang's return to Beijing. What kind of influence did the parents' "peerless love" have on Wu Shuang's view of love and outlook on life? And what deeds caused the host Ju Ping to call out directly, "How much psychological endurance does this have to be"?
Bearded and typhoid injection Mei Lanfang did not bend over to the invaders to encourage future generations
In this episode, Mei Lanfang's great-grandson Mei Wei also shared with everyone the artistic style of grandpa not bending his waist to the invaders. Mei Lanfang learned opera at the age of 8 and took the stage at the age of 10, is a master of Peking Opera art admired by the world, and the "Mei Pai" art he created is unique and has left us a precious artistic heritage. When the aura on the body is removed and returned to ordinary family life, how does this big patriarch affect the descendants of the Mei family?

Opening the Mei family's memory time bottle, Mei Wei remembered the sentence "The surname Mei is really good" that she said when she was 12 years old. In the program, Mei Wei recalled that the respect and love of the people of Taizhou for his grandfather had made his pride spontaneous, and after engaging in Mei Lanfang's research work, Mei Wei felt sincere admiration for Mei Lanfang's spiritual world. In 1931, the artillery fire of "918" opened the prelude to Japan's invasion of China. In the following years, Mei Lanfang used the historical story of the Song Soldiers to resist the Jin Dynasty to create two new plays, "Anti-Jin Soldiers" and "Life and Death Hate", to boost the morale of the whole people in the way of an artist.
However, the invaders valued his influence and social credibility, and pressed forward step by step to try to get Mei Lanfang to come forward in the name of "goodwill" and sing the "drama of national subjugation". In order to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese and the false, Mei Lanfang, who did not bend her waist to the invaders, not only had a beard and a clear mind, but also deliberately injected typhoid fever to make herself seriously ill, and her patriotism overflowed into words. It is worth mentioning that In this issue, Mei Lanfang's daughter-in-law Tu Zhen will also appear in a surprise appearance to share Mei Lanfang's family fun. In addition to having a convincing artistic temperament and mind, what kind of person is Mei Lanfang in life? Stay tuned for the second season of "Thank You, My Home"Chinese on February 9 (Chinese New Year's Friday) at 19:30, CCTV-4.
