The names of the first eight meritorious models who have been awarded the "Order of the Republic" are believed to be familiar to everyone: Li Yannian, Yu Min, Huang Xuhua, Zhang Fuqing, Shen Jilan, Sun Jiadong, Tu Youyou, and Yuan Longping. But do you want to know more about them?
Starting tonight, "Meritorious Service" gives us such an opportunity: this TV series will premiere at 19:30 on Shanghai Oriental Satellite TV, Beijing Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV, and Youku, iQiyi, and Tencent Video will be updated simultaneously. The Li Yannian unit broadcast tonight tells us the burning story of the "combat hero" Li Yannian who led his comrades-in-arms to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and still fought in blood in the face of enemy artillery fire.
"Meritorious Service" is a major realistic theme work produced and organized by the State Administration of Radio and Television, which connects the colorful chapters of the lives of the first eight "Order of the Republic" winners through the artistic technique of "national narrative and expression of the times" and the narrative method of the unit drama. The whole drama is produced and distributed by Haruha Film and Television, and is divided into 8 units, each unit has 6 episodes, a total of 48 episodes. Previously, when the final file and the final trailer were released, it caused netizens to sigh that "this is probably this year's drama king" - from the production team to the cast, it is indeed a "dream team" that gathers today's Chinese film and television production.
Let's look at the cast first. In terms of starring, Wang Lei played Li Yannian, Lei Jiayin played Yu Min, Huang Xiaoming played Huang Xuhua, Guo Tao played Zhang Fuqing, Jiang Xin played Shen Jilan, Tong Dawei played Sun Jiadong, Zhou Xun played Tu Youyou, and Huang Zhizhong played Yuan Longping. In addition, there are many powerful actors such as Sun Li, Ni Ni, Zhang Songwen, Liu Yijun, Li Guangjie, Sun Qian and so on.
The director and screenwriter are the top configuration of domestic dramas: Zheng Xiaolong is the general director, and the eight units are directed by Mao Weining, Shen Yan, Yang Yang, Kang Honglei, Lin Nan, Yang Wenjun, Zheng Xiaolong and Yan Jiangang. Liu Gejian, Li Xiuwen, Wang Xiaogun, Shen Jie, Chen Feng, Gong Xiangdong, Xu Su, Wang Xiaoping, and Song Fangjin are the screenwriters.
The difference with the previous film and television dramas of the same type is that this time "Meritorious" does not use the usual "character biography" shooting method, but selects a life slice of these eight meritorious characters to show the characters. Through the presentation of the highlights of their lives, we can better understand their hard work and perseverance in order to realize their dreams.
In the two versions of the trailer, we can see that the drama, whether it is a big scene or a small detail, the presentation of the picture is quite cinematic. We have also seen the first eight recipients of the "Order of the Republic" firmly believe, overcome difficulties, and struggle to the end. In the trailer, their highlight moments are promoted layer by layer in the form of mixed cuts, allowing us to see that personal ideals are always closely related to the development of the motherland and the destiny of the nation.
The first thing I want to meet with you tonight is "Li Yannian of Nengwen Nengwu," which selects the story of Li Yannian on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Behind the good news we have received, there are countless soldiers who have fought and sacrificed bloodily.
Fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, calmly analyzing tactics behind enemy lines, even after the last bullet in their hands, they also have the belief of holding their positions. Such a group of patriotic volunteers who are committed to serving the country deserve to be remembered forever.
Bidding farewell to the war and coming to the era of peace, there are still people who are fighting for the new "battlefield" for national honor. "The hydrogen bomb is the bottom line, the survival of the country, must be done", a few words, simple and powerful, but also let us see the patriotic enthusiasm of a generation of scientists Yu Min.
Also fighting for the country in the nuclear industry is Huang Xuhua.
Why build nuclear submarines? "Nuclear submarines are the country's heavy weapons. Without nuclear submarines, if they are attacked by nuclear weapons, they cannot carry out secondary counterattacks. Huang Xuhua's eyes are persistent, more responsible, in the face of the step-by-step underground scene, a sentence of "I am fully responsible" makes people see the courage and mind of Chinese scientists.
Some people are fighting for the country at the forefront of science, and there are also people who pay silently in remote mountainous areas.
Zhang Fuqing, who was a retired soldier, led everyone to dig mountains and open roads to get rid of poverty and become rich. In the mountains, he dedicated his life, "where the organization let me go, I will go", his faith is like a mountain, his heart is like a rock, and he writes spring and autumn with zhengzheng oaths.
Shen Jilan is the representative of the women of New China. She led the sisters to the farmland together, bent on making "the sisters stand up and live like individuals", which is also a refraction of the new Chinese women standing up on their own.
"Flying" is the dream that has lasted for thousands of years since the birth of mankind, "what the Soviets and Americans can do, we Chinese can also do", Sun Jiadong is loud, it is this belief that supports him, after countless failures, finally ushered in success.
New drugs can save lives, but the research and development process is full of hardships. Is there a no-go zone in front of science? Can research be carried out across stereotypes? Tu Youyou's research and development process is to overthrow, reforge, and rediscover, and she tells us that doubt is the beginning of the discovery of truth.
Yuan Longping's process of developing hybrid rice is also a dream, for such a dream, he is willing to "pursue with his life", which is the best explanation for dedicating all his body and mind to the cause of science.
They have the soul of extraordinary struggle, and they have the ambition to selflessly serve the country. Their loyal, persistent, and simple character is also inspiring.
In reality, Li Yannian was a tested soldier who participated in the War of Liberation, the Suppression of Bandits in Western Hunan Province, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, etc., and Rong Lite and other meritorious deeds once;
Yu Min is a nuclear physicist, he and his team almost started from a blank piece of paper, learn from each other, independent research and development, and finally solved a series of problems in the development of early hydrogen bombs in China;
Huang Xuhua is the chief designer of China's first generation of nuclear submarine engineering, and the first person in the world to personally launch the chief designer of nuclear submarines; they have made outstanding contributions to the development of China's nuclear submarine industry.
Zhang Fuqing is a combat hero who has made many meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and after his career change, he is a "model of the times" who has taken root in the grassroots and dedicated his life;
Shen Jilan is a national model worker, and it was her initiative of "equal pay for men and women for equal work" that was eventually written into the first Constitution of the People's Republic of China;
Sun Jiadong is the "technical leader of China's first artificial earth satellite" and the chief designer of the first and second generation projects of China's Beidou navigation system;
Tu Youyou has been engaged in the research of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese and Western medicine for many years, and created a new antimalarial drugs artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin, which is the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize in science;
Yuan Longping is the pioneer and leader of China's hybrid rice industry and is known as the "father of hybrid rice".
The presentation of words and the brief popularization of science are not enough to summarize the firm will and patriotic heart of these eight backbones of the country. It is precisely because of the efforts of the predecessors that the Chinese nation has made great achievements like stars.
Their deeds deserve to be seen by more people, and their spirit is worth learning forever. The baton has been handed over to us, and tonight, let's start by watching Meritorious Service.
