BEIJING, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- "Hey, brother, we haven't seen you where you are for a long time; hey, friend, if it's really you, please say hello..." This is the opening song of "The Tale of Wulin", and it is also a melody familiar to many people.
Today, more than a decade has passed since the launch of "The Tale of Wulin", but often people miss the plot and classic lines in the play on the Internet. Recently, "Wulin Waichuan often looks at Changxin" on the hot search, which has triggered a wave of "memory killing".

Some people say that the first time I watched this play was a comedy, but after watching it many years later, it was a philosophical drama. An inn, a hundred flavors of life.
One
At first glance, the character settings of several characters in "The Tale of Wulin" are very funny, Tong Xiangyu, who is nagging and cutting the door, Bai Zhantang, who is a "thief saint" but timid and afraid of things, "Acid Xiucai" Lü Qinghou, and a Li Dazui who is not good at cooking.
Mo Xiaobei, Xing Yutou, Yan Xiaoliu, Qian Treasurer and His Wife, Zhu Wushuang... People from all walks of life gathered to the Tongfu Inn, making it look like a small society, and the stories that happen every day are quite joyful, but there are philosophical flashes from time to time.
Guo Furong and Xiucai had an awkward quarrel and felt that "do not steam steamed steamed buns to fight for breath". But the play tells the audience that this "qi" is the ambition to work hard, not the resentment of the small belly chicken intestine. A little more tolerance, a little more tolerance, a lot of unpleasantness will rain over the sky.
For example, if you are not good enough, don't move to fantasize about "if it was the beginning": there are many unsatisfactory things in life, if you are unhappy, you hope that if you are at the beginning, then you will never be happy, "the illusion is beautiful and the dream is always a dream, cherish the present is true."
In life, we always have to look forward, don't drill the tip of the bull's horn. Tong Xiangyu was reluctant to give her the jade plate that Bai Zhantang gave her, thinking that it was the first time Lao Bai had sent something to her, and he had to take it back when he hit a wall everywhere, but he ignored the time and money wasted for this.
Therefore, Lao Bai reminded her, let it go, only after the first time, there will be a second, a third, a hundredth, a thousandth, ten thousand times.
Two
Not only that, through the trivialities of life, views such as "change when you know your mistakes" and "have a sense of responsibility" can often be seen in the play.
Xiao Guo acted recklessly, once smashed the Tongfu Inn as a black shop, and finally stayed as a miscellaneous servant and worked to repay the money. But at first, she either wanted to escape, or talk about running an inn all over the sky, sweeping the floor, washing clothes... These things will not and will not be done.
But Tong Xiangyu told her that what she can't do can be learned, and that you must rely on your hands, not your mouth, otherwise "after a long time, who will trust you to promote you, and who will give you the opportunity to prove yourself?" ”
These words were taken to heart by her. Later, Guo Furong rejected Tong Shishi's offer to let her escape in the dark, because it was irresponsible, and not fleeing was not timid, but she already had enough courage and determination to face her own faults.
Mo Xiaobei repented, did not want to be the leader of the Hengshan Sect, and planned to flee from the battlefield, Tong Treasurer told her, "At the beginning, either don't agree, since you agreed, you must do a good job, and you can't do things backwards." ”
Life has to go step by step, and things have to be done bit by bit. Down-to-earth and unashamed, for everyone, is true.
Three
Not only is it the way of dealing with people, but also the way of getting along in love is also reflected in "The Tale of Wulin".
Be serious when you fall in love, and get together when you break up. Tong Xiangyu would advise Yang Huilan in this way, "If you have a fate, just go through the door to worship the church, and if you don't have a fate, you will be on the other side of the sky, why do you have to dance the knife and get the gun." ”
"Conspiracies are the enemies of love." Lu Xiucai liked Guo Furong, and had tried every means to prevent her from contacting Yan Xiaoliu, and Tong Couldn't look at it, engaging in this set of conspiracies and tricks, what was the meaning?
If you like someone, you should fight for it with openness. She warned Xiucai that love is a very pure and beautiful thing, and it should be exchanged by sincerity, rather than cheating with eyes and means.
Two people have lived together for a long time, and it is normal to have differences, but honesty and not cheating should always be the bottom line of getting along.
Four
Perhaps it is precisely because of these simple and sincere truths that some viewers are impressed by "The Tale of Wulin", and the classic lines come with their mouths open, "I am so sorry, I should not have married from the beginning..."
Some people like the roof of the inn the most, "That's the tree hole when you are unhappy", or use this play as background music, listening to the dialogue and feeling lively, "the rivers and lakes inside are grounded, like the lives of ordinary people."
The characters in the play have a happy side, and they do have their own very common troubles: Tong Xiangyu is in exile in the town of Seven Heroes, worrying about the management of the inn, and will also worry about the sister-in-law's studies.
Guo Furong wanted to tear off the label of "daughter of Guo Juxia" and dreamed of becoming a hero, and as a result, she became a "male and female" in other people; Lu Xiucai was full of poetry, but she did not meet her. Li Dazui changed from headhunter to cook at The Tongfu Inn, and he was ridiculed for cooking at every turn.
Another touching place in the whole drama is the warmth in the Tongfu Inn: maybe they usually dislike each other, but at a critical juncture, the stingy Tong treasurer can cover all-inclusive medical expenses, Lao Bai can pretend to be a thief, and a group of people help Xing Catcher regain confidence.
"Come on, heat up a good pot of wine; say, all these years of hard work." No wonder some people say that "The Tale of Wulin Wai" smiled when I was a child and cried when I looked at it when I grew up.
There may be many unsatisfactory things in the world, but you still have to live positively, just like the lyrics of the ending song say, "Be kind to others and care about yourself, and the good days are waiting for you." (End)
