Time flies, but in the long river of history, there will always be some "shining" memories that will be preserved for a long time.
From Chen Duxiu's letter of appointment from Peking University, Li Dazhao's rattan chair, the first translation of the Communist Manifesto Chinese to the whistle of the third workers' armed uprising in Shanghai; from Chen Jue and Zhao Yunxiao's pen before their execution to the hydrangea straw shoes of Xie Zhijian of the Red Army, from the radio repair tools of the red agent Li Bai to the five-star red flag made by the revolutionary martyrs in the White Mansion... Behind each "revolutionary cultural relic", there is the spirit of adhering to the truth, adhering to ideals, practicing the original intention, undertaking the mission, not being afraid of sacrifice, heroic struggle, loyalty to the party, and living up to the people.
In the 20-episode documentary "Shining Memory" launched this month by the Documentary Channel of the Film and Television Drama Documentary Center of the Central Radio and Television Corporation, revolutionary cultural relics have become the main narrative carrier - in each episode of 5 minutes, the creators record the glorious course of the CPC in the past century by excavating the stories of cultural relics users, donors and protectors, using scene reproduction, hand-painted animation and other artistic means to record the glorious course of the CPC in the past century, and carry forward the original mission of the CPC to seek happiness for the Chinese and the people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.
For example, the story of "half a quilt" vividly interprets the deep affection of "the Communist Party has a quilt itself, and it is also necessary to cut off half of it for the people". The three female Red Army soldiers cut off half of the only quilt and gave it to the common people Xu Xiexiu, which showed the CPC's deep feelings for the people and its firm initial responsibility.
At the same time, revolutionary artifacts are a sign of strength. Zhang Jingquan, also known as Zhang Renya, joined the Communist Party of China in November 1922. After the outbreak of the "April 12 Counter-Revolutionary Coup" in 1927, Zhang Renya risked his life to secretly return a large bag of precious party books and newspapers to his hometown, Xianan Village, Xiapu Town, Ningbo, and entrusted it to his father Zhang Jueqian for preservation. In order to protect these documents, the father built an empty tomb to hide the documents, claimed that his son was dead, and spent the rest of his life guarding his son's communist beliefs, and 36 kinds of documents have survived to this day.
"Shining Memory" digs deep into the stories of "sacrifice", "commitment", "mission" and "faith" behind the cultural relics, and achieves the goal of seeing people, things and spirits in a grounded and close to the expression of youth. In the documentary, it is not difficult for us to find that heroes are born ordinary, and every communist who is full of ideals, adheres to faith and original intentions, has an "ordinary" life and becomes a hero, only because they choose the great faith that they are willing to pay for - the revolutionary martyr Leng Shaonong has not returned home for many years and has not been understood by his mother, in order to answer his mother's kindness, he wrote a thick family letter: "Mother, am I really disloyal and filial piety, ungrateful? I am removing my filial piety to the majority of suffering human beings, faithfully working for them. ”
It is worth mentioning that in this documentary produced by the Film and Television Drama Documentary Center of the General Station and produced by CCTV Records International Media Co., Ltd., the main creative team not only tells the story behind the cultural relics with a static narrative aesthetic, but also makes full use of 4K ultra-high-definition high-quality images to present a film-like sophisticated texture. At the same time, the situational reproduction of virtual animation creates a realistic and exquisite atmosphere, with strong audiovisual impact, reaching people's hearts and resonating.
According to reports, the whole film lasted more than a year from planning creativity to filming and production, traveling tens of thousands of kilometers, the film crew rushed to many museums in China, in-depth interviews with the descendants of revolutionary martyrs, after repeated selection and in-depth excavation, identified 20 red stories, and invited a group of domestic party history experts to guide the inspection.
"Trace the footprints of the original heart, pay tribute to the century-old style". "Shining Memory" starts from the revolutionary cultural relics cut from the small incision, condenses the blue wisps of the century-old Yanlu Road into a frame of lens picture, brings the red cultural relics into the coordinates of the century-old time, measures the process of the history of the party that is brave and courageous, carries forward the great spirit formed by the party and the people in the course of struggle through the historical information carried by the cultural relics, and allows the audience to absorb the great spiritual strength, which can be called a vivid "open class" in the history of the Chinese revolution.
