"A realistic version of the love of space crews"
"It's a TV show that can be watched in high school."
……
Mid-Autumn Festival, family fun, entertainment unicorns but noticed a set of keywords: "Reader 3", return, break the defense.
Some people on the bus "wear a mask and tears and snot a lot"; others "regret putting on a mask to watch the show, tears mixed with mask essence"... The picture is too beautiful to imagine, funny, and real enough to be moving.
Reader 3 isn't just about "good crying" of course. Behind it is a high degree of emotional and spiritual resonance.
Just before watching Reader 3, a teacher had just received a request for help from a transfer student, "even if she goes to a distant place, when she encounters difficulties, she will still remember the teacher who once taught her." This emotion completely exploded when he saw Xu Donglin say, "It is enough for us to live in this world and do one thing well."
On Weibo, someone flipped out the long-collected "When the Stars of Mankind Shine" on the bookshelf and relived it again; some people saw that when Academician Yang Yuanxi recalled his family, his wife Wang Zhihong had tears in his eyes, and even some netizens called the love between the two "realistic version of "You Are My Glory"...
After a three-year absence, Reader 3 tells us that she deserves to be waited for. And her greatest charm is to let the indestructible warrior fade the armor and use the softest self to talk to the public.
Yang Yuanxi, deputy chief designer of the Beidou navigation system, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he is also the soft and cute husband. "I'm trying very hard to be the kind of person she wants," the plain language says in response to his wife's love. --True Fairy Love Series.
It turned out that Principal Zhang Guimei, who used her thin body to carry Huaping Female High School, was also the little daughter loved by her husband and pampered by her parents. Learning that her husband's stomach cancer was in the advanced stage of the two people's headaches and crying, her husband's one night white head and sudden death, let her talk about it after many years still remember the despair: "That day can't be lived."
After three years, why do we still need Readers? What kind of magical show is this? The answer is being revealed with the premiere of the third season.
1. Yang Yuanxi: "Versailles Scholar" and "Coordinates of Home"
Do you remember how you used to learn English?
Yang Yuanxi's words probably awakened the "student memory" of countless people: holding a card when queuing for dinner, the front is English word and the reverse is Chinese, when sleeping is also listening to English, chatting with foreigners on weekends, practicing mouth practice listening...
English certainly didn't lie to me. "Versailles scholars" such as Yang Yuanxi also ate the "lesson" of English when they took the graduate school examination in 1982. After all, before that, his learning experience was like this:
"I just like to read and have no other hobbies."
"The questions are too simple, not the general simplicity, but the simplicity."
However, behind this set of learning methodologies that are still common across 40 years, we can see the most real side of scientific researchers: encountering problems and overcoming problems, "very simple, is learning".
Behind the story of Xueba is the most typical sketch of a family in the 60s and 70s.
Academician Yang's father was a disabled soldier, unable to work, and he also learned later that he was a combat hero, and there was still a bullet on his body that had not been taken out; even if the 7 brothers and sisters were very good at reading, but under the poor family situation, they all chose to give up their studies and complete Yang Yuanxi to study...
In the show, the resolute soldier choked up many times: "Don't say this, don't say this."
But it is also such a family that has poked the hearts of countless netizens, and the bullet screen of "family style inheritance" has brushed the screen.
Yang Yuanxi has never resisted a word from his parents, nor will he resist his sister, respect is the biggest "gene" of this family. In the education of his son, he also followed his father's philosophy: even when his son was interviewed at university, he did not know what his father did.
"It's the same lineage my father has given us." This is also the energy he draws from his family, and the family style inheritance is concerned by the public in a most touching way.
The love between him and his wife Wang Zhihong also envied the audience.
"I have always been in love, and I have been chasing ah", Wang Zhihong described his feelings;
"I work very hard to become the kind of person she hopes to be," Yang Yuanxi's answer was simple and powerful.
39 years of marriage, still in the best of love. "Who listens to the love of two-way rushing does not shed tears", some netizens sighed.
But many people ignore the efforts and support of the astronauts' families behind their 15 years of separation, Yang Yuanxi's full-scale work and "returning home and not doing anything". She is Yang Yuanxi's "clearest and most stable home coordinates".
The story of Yang Yuanxi and China's Beidou may not be unfamiliar to people who love aerospace, but in "Reader 3", he is not only the "spokesperson of China's Beidou", but also a complete flesh and blood person.
This is a program that explores "people", and it is also a process that takes us to explore "why people are human beings".
2, Zhang Guimei: the loneliness and guilt of female warriors
Zhang Guimei's name is not unfamiliar to many people, but few people have paid attention to her standing back like a female warrior, always carrying an incurable pain, loneliness and guilt.
"I made an unforgivable mistake in family affection", when Dong Qing read out Zhang Guimei's confession, she also decided that this would not be an easy story: in order to let the entrepreneur support herself to run a high school, she missed the last opportunity to say goodbye to her brother. When she called again, her brother had been cremated and the phone was hung up by her sister.
Zhang Guimei is the old man in the family, when she was born, her mother was 48 years old and her father was 53 years old, and the family loved this little daughter very much. But the number of times she was able to return to her hometown to visit her parents' graves was countless, and she did not have time to see her sister for the last time.
The lack of family affection inevitably leads to some doubts, "she is only for honor, out of addiction"; but Zhang Guimei is very clear, "I just want the children in the mountains to go out one more." The voice from others and the will that they are not understood become two wrestling forces that always exist.
When Dong Qing helped her to the front of the stage, her ten fingers were still covered with medical tape. It is hard to imagine how much wind and rain this thin shoulder has borne to stand like a "female warrior" today.
She read a letter to her deceased parents:
"Over the years, I almost forgot about them, and there were their vague figures in front of me, and in my eyes I seemed to hear my father saying: You are Daddy's good daughter, Mommy and Daddy are not angry with you, you are busy with you." 」
She longs for the forgiveness of neglected relatives, and even more eager for her will ideals to be affirmed. When the female warriors with vicissitudes shed tears and told their parents about their feelings in the letter, the soft daughter's heart that was wrapped up also moved.
However, back to the Huaping Girls' High School, where she struggled all her life, she became the warrior again: even if she was in pain and could only sleep with her clothes, she had to persist until the last moment of her life.
3. Liu Cuiqing & Xu Donglin: "You are my eyes"
In the women's 400m final of the t11 class at the Tokyo Paralympic Games on August 28, China's Liu Cuiqing won the gold medal with a time of 56.25 seconds with the help of frontrunner Xu Donglin, and set a new Paralympic record.
This is the eighth year of their partnership, and Liu Cuiqing said that the two people are "together except for bathing and sleeping, they are together at other times." And this time, because of the one-year postponement of the game, they face a bigger test than usual.
The old athlete's injuries gradually appeared: Xu Donglin had less than a year after knee surgery, and when the program was recorded, he hit the player of the previous stick, the old injury recurred, and his legs were still soaked in ice cubes.
Liu Cuiqing also faced a decline in physical fitness after the injury: she would vomit after a large amount of exercise and high intensity training.
"Will the amount of training be reduced?" Her answer was very affirmative: no. Although she vomited once per 300-meter simulation run in two sets of each time, she never gave up.
"By the time they're on the starting line, they've already won." the coach said.
What makes people break the defense is that winning the championship and wearing the national flag is their glorious moment, but Xu Donglin lifted Liu Cuiqing high, "I just want the world to cheer for her."
Remember dong qing asked Liu Cuiqing in one square meter of the reading booth last year, "If you can give you light, who is the first person you want to see?" Not surprisingly, her answer was "my front runner."
The mutual support and achievements on the sports field, Xu Donglin also has its emotional side in life. Xu Donglin, who returned with honors, read aloud "Written to the Future You" (excerpt), which is the deepest love and the most beautiful expectation for his wife and children for a man who struggles to face the pain on the sports field and is still strong and optimistic:
"Integrity, bravery, independence, I want you to be a good person."
From honorable figures to living humanity with blood and wounds and warmth, we approach and listen to their inner voices, explore the "softness and firmness" under their armor, resonate with them and draw strength from them. After breaking the defense, the "This is the example we should follow" on the bullet screen may represent the audience's truest voice.
The opening credits of Reader 3 are classic. In the long river of life, a dialogue of the wise men is opening: "Can we change the world?" "Will humanity's answer change after hardship and hardship?"
Behind this proposition that is not new, a living character is giving their own answers, no preaching, only the sharing of true feelings.
Yang Yuanxi used "When the Stars of Mankind Shine" to pay tribute to astronauts and young students who are interested in the cause of spaceflight, and did their best to be difficult and dare to be the first on the road of scientific research. But in the final analysis, he who will be moved by tears for his family is the most vivid manual.
It is still a familiar person, a paragraph, not a loud slogan, and the sense of landing of the character is the most penetrating force. The interview and the reading complement each other here, or are the finishing touches or emotional sustenance, which is a "people-oriented" story.
But Reader 3 is "restrained" in the transmission of emotion and spiritual power. Dong Qing always held the rational and sensual, professional and popular ruler, so that the program remained in the "extremely comfortable" range.
When talking about "respecting fathers", Yang Yuanxi couldn't help but choke, and then Dong Qing cleverly changed the topic, and the teaching of his son also made Academician Yang smile again;
Zhang Guimei's story is mixed with pain, Dong Qing left enough time for her to digest emotions, and the progression and shuttle of the topics of female high school, family affection, and love also make guests and netizens not fall into deep sorrow.
These also make the show deep but not heavy, full of "intellectual beauty".
Another surprise is the integration of multiple elements such as historical materials, warm atmosphere, and network sense expression, which is also constantly adjusting the audience's mood.
Yang Yuanxi's sharing of China's Beidou is both professional and popular, why the development of Beidou, the explanation of the atomic clock are easy to understand, interspersed with historical facts also allows the audience to feel more intuitively;
In the interaction with his wife Wang Zhihong, the love between two lovely people and the sweet atmosphere of smiling at each other also diluted the heaviness under the topic of family affection.
The discussion of realistic topics such as "what is the best state of love" is also rapidly breaking the circle, triggering heated discussions among netizens, which may be the most unexpected but also the most universal "harvest" of a cultural program.
In the audience's "defense breaking", it is actually a strong pursuit of spiritual resonance, and everyone sees a different self in it.
Yang Yuanxi's English learning process made netizens sigh "excellent people work so hard, why don't I struggle"; in his fairy love with Wang Zhihong, he also made "hard work" and two-way love have a template;
Zhang Guimei's family letters are full of regrets of family affection, but also touched the hearts of countless wandering children, rather than waiting for "children want to raise and not to wait", it is better to pick up the mobile phone in time to call the distant parents.
Of course, there are also people who think: What have I done for this world? And meditate on it.
In a broader sense, "Reader 3" accurately meets the emotional needs of the audience in the times, and is an accurate connection between the audience's inner world and real life. Since the beginning of this year, the spirit of spaceflight, sportsmanship, etc. have been leveraging the attention of the public all the time, and under such a "social atmosphere", the spiritual power and emotion transmitted by the program are naturally easier to penetrate and form a real force.
"Readers" is jumping out of the narrow cultural definition, not high and low, but the most real present, whether it is the characters or the spiritual power, emotional temperature. This may be the best answer to why we still need Reader after three years of not seeing.
