Henan Daily client reporter Zhao Ana
The TV series "Red Flag Canal", which is filmed from many rural areas in Linzhou, Anyang, and has a shooting cycle of more than three months, is being staged on CCTV. In Anyang Normal College, a group of teachers and students from 2018, lasted three years, explored 456 villages in Linzhou, visited more than 500 canal repairers, took more than 80,000 photos, and recorded one canal repair person after another with the lens.....
.
On October 28, on the occasion of the popularity of the TV series "Hongqi Canal", the reporter came to Anyang Normal College and approached the team of teachers and students to listen to their stories about finding the builders of the Hongqi Canal.
"This search makes a lot of sense"
"I have been to Linzhou more than a dozen times to participate in the project of searching for the builder of the Hongqi Canal, and now, I can understand the Linzhou dialect as a northeasterner!" Tian Dongxin, a young man whose home is in Liaoning, said with a smile.
What is the most meaningful thing about the search for the builder of the Red Flag Canal? Tian Dongxin said that the search itself is quite meaningful. He told reporters that he went to look for it with an unknown mood, and after every time he found and confirmed that the old man had participated in the repair of the canal, the joy was beyond words.
"We get up at 5:30 every day, which is earlier than at school! Then he began to look around the village, knocking on doors door to door and asking if they had been involved in the canal repair at that time. Tian Dongxin quipped that they seemed to be investigating household registrations and walking around the village every day.
"I was most impressed once in Dongxiahuan Village, Hengshui Town, and that day we saw a group of old people playing poker together in the distance, so we went up and casually asked, 'Has anyone ever been involved in repairing the canal?' Unexpectedly, a group of old people responded almost in unison, 'I have repaired!' Tian Dongxin said that that kind of touch, every time I think of it, I still remember it vividly.
"At the beginning of the TV series, the people of the two villages have a conflict in order to compete for water, which restores the true history of water shortage at that time." Tian Dongxin sighed that they had visited so many old people who repaired canals, in fact, they were the most ordinary old people, just to get rid of the draught dilemma, a group of ordinary people did an extremely unusual thing.
"This experience is unprecedented"
Nie Haoxin, a girl from Nanyang, told reporters that she had seen the deeds of the Hongqi Canal from television, newspapers and books before, and never thought that she would one day be able to understand the story of the canal repair and the heroes who repaired the canal so deeply.
"What impressed me the most was an old man named Zheng Nianzai. The old man told us that when he was at the canal repair site, he went to check on a squib, and as a result, he injured both eyes and caused blindness in both eyes. Before he went to repair the canal, there was an object who did not pass through the door, and he was afraid of delaying others, so he took the initiative to quit marriage. Later, the old man has not been married, and he is alone and old..." Nie Haoxin wiped his tears and said that in early May this year, in order to supplement the information, they once again went to visit the old man, and they did not expect that this would be the last time. "It didn't take long for the old man to die..."
"It was an experience like this was an unprecedented experience for me." Nie Haoxin, who is now a senior, said that from the time he joined the team to find the builders of the Hongqi Canal two years ago, he began simply to complete the project. Later, in the process of the project, the mentality gradually changed, and I wanted to walk as much as possible and see more, and to photograph and record more of these old people who made great contributions in those years.
"As a foreigner, sometimes I can't understand what they mean, but I seem to understand..." The girl said emotionally.
"On the first day of the TV series 'Red Flag Canal', I couldn't wait to see it." Nie Haoxin said that she also gave her friend crazy "Amway" this TV series, and she hopes to do a modest job to let more people know the story of Hongqiqu.
"This spirit is timeless"
In this team, it is natural that Linzhou natives are indispensable to act as "translators".
"The TV series "Red Flag Canal" can be broadcast on CCTV, promote our hometown, and promote the great canal repair story and canal repair spirit of our hometown, as a Linzhou person, the pride is really born." Li Ruoyu, a girl in Linzhou, said excitedly that the story of Hongqiqu can be presented to the audience in the form of film and television dramas, and the old people who repaired the canal in those years will be moved to the screen, which also shows that the spirit of Hongqiqu is passed down from generation to generation.
Li Ruoyu shared with reporters the story of Fan Yizhong, the hero of the canal repair. She recalled that two years ago, she went to Fan Yizhong's old man's home to shoot, and the old man told the story of how he led the entire brigade to the front line of repairing the canal. Whether it is the danger of intercepting the flow at the head of the canal or the difficulty in the process of repairing the canal, he has experienced it. One of the words that the old man often hangs on his lips is "As Communists, who do we not go to?" ”。
"As college students in the new era, as Linzhou people, we must tell the story of Hongqiqu to more people and continue to pass on the spirit of Hongqiqu." Li Ruoyu sighed that most of the canal cultivators who were full of spirit are now eighty or ninety years old, and they must race against time and do their best to record the images of the elderly, leave their stories, and tell them to more people!
"Art comes from life and is higher than life." Qin Guofang, the leading teacher, said that being able to make the story of hongqiqu into a TV series is of great educational significance for young people today. Through a vivid and vivid story to interpret the great Spirit of the Red Flag Canal, truly reproduce the great and glorious years.
"We photographed the 'Monument' photography exhibition of the builders of the Hongqi Canal, which was exhibited in Anyang, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou Library, Luoyang Library, Sanmenxia Chinese Photography Art Exhibition, etc." Qin Guofang said that in the next step, they want to bring the photography exhibition to all parts of the country, so that more people can remember the appearance of these heroes and understand the great process of repairing canals.
