However, decades after the War of Liberation, some people's cognition and feelings about Dong Cunrui are quietly changing at a time when popular culture is exerting a strong influence. Many teenagers can recite various roles in popular historical dramas, martial arts romance dramas and urban bubble dramas, but when it comes to Dong Cunrui, they are at a loss. What's more, it is suggested: "No one saw Dong Cunrui lift the explosive charge with his own eyes, which was inferred from some clues ..." These remarks cast a layer of doubt on the historical conclusion of Dong Cunrui's sacrifice for righteousness and heroic sacrifice, and also challenged and stung the collective memory of several generations.
How did Dong Cunrui die? Is the story of bombing the bunker "hype"? Is it necessary to learn and inherit the spirit of Dong Cunrui today, which is a little far away from Dong Cunrui? Times have changed. What kind of intersection should there be between the martyrs who died in the hail of bullets and the modern people whose lives are orderly? The TV series "Forward for New China" adapted from Dong Cunrui's deeds answers these questions.
Dong Cunrui is kind and lovely, flesh and blood.
"Forward for New China" takes the life story of Dong Cunrui as the main line, and reproduces the heroic feat of "Dong Cunrui Ban" and Dong Cunrui's short life in 19 years. In addition to the fierce war scenes, there is no lack of delicate handling of characters' personalities and emotions. Dong Cunrui in the play is no longer a patriotic symbol with vague image and typical deeds, but a simple and lovely soldier with simple and honest flesh and blood. It is worth mentioning that the play not only depicts the typical hero Dong Cunrui, but also vividly tells the touching story of Dong Cunrui's comrades-in-arms Wang Haishan, Sun Daguang, Zou, Zhu Sanliang, Niu and other ordinary soldiers who have been baptized by repeated battles, growing up and finally dying heroically. Although these deeds have not been widely circulated, their selfless and fearless revolutionary spirit is also heroic and tragic.
As a key play dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, Looking Forward to New China is mainly composed of TV series Soldiers Assault and My Head and My Regiment, with famous screenwriter Zhou as literary consultant, young screenwriter, Lu Xinyu and Liu Xuanyi as creators, famous directors Sang Hua and Feng Gang as co-directors, and Wang, who is also a son and daughter of Dong Cunrui, as Dong Cunrui.
It is reported that "Advance for New China" invested160,000 yuan, which was jointly filmed by the Propaganda Department of Hebei Provincial Party Committee, Hebei Radio, Film and Television Bureau, Hebei TV Station, Bayi Film Studio, Propaganda Department of Zhangjiakou Municipal Committee and Huailai County Committee. Before Tomb-Sweeping Day in 2009, under the arrangement of Huailai County Party Committee and County Government, all the film crew of "Advance for New China" went to Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall in Huailai County, Dong Cunrui's hometown, and held a memorial service with the theme of "Remembering the revolutionary martyrs and inheriting the heroic legacy". Together with Dong Cunrui's relatives and hometown elders, they presented flower baskets and couplets to the heroes and bowed their warm boots to the martyrs.
On April 22nd, 2009, the launching ceremony of "Forward for New China" was held in Woniushan Film and Television Base of Huailai County, and was filmed in Huangjiachong Village of Beixinbao Town, Mo Tian of Xiaonan Xinbao Town and East huayuan town. On July 5 of the same year, the play was successfully completed.
Although the shooting only took more than two months, the "off-stage" kung fu was done. Relevant persons from the Propaganda Department of Huailai County Party Committee introduced that Huailai County Party Committee and county government attached great importance to the play. As early as August 2007, they jointly organized a demonstration meeting with relevant units in Beijing, and reached the intention of script creation and joint shooting. The Propaganda Department of Hebei Provincial Party Committee also listed the play as a key film and television drama in Hebei Province. In order to ensure the filming progress and quality of the drama, Huailai County has given great support to the masses, venue coordination, and organization of extras, made proper arrangements for the filming scene, transportation, security, accommodation and other matters of the crew in Huailai County, started the preliminary funding of the drama, and ensured the activities of project establishment, script collection, script creation, publicity and discussion in the early stage.
Hometown of heroes:
The dead are gone, but the soul of the hero lives on forever.
"For New China, Forward" has been widely praised by the audience since it was broadcast by CCTV, and it has a strong response in Huailai. On Baidu Post Bar, an audience commented: "I haven't had time to watch TV. I heard that the TV series "Go Forward for New China", which reflects the heroes in my hometown, was particularly good, and I was very excited at once. The spirit of Dong Cunrui is immortal! "
Another Huailai audience left a message saying: "The broadcast of this TV series has given our younger generation an opportunity to understand the growth process of revolutionary heroes. I strongly recommend everyone to watch this drama, which is the pride of our people. "
"The bones don't need to be buried, and life is everywhere." Dong Cunrui, who came out of Huailai, died heroically in the battle to liberate Longhua, and his bones were buried in a foreign country. In Huailai, my hometown, Dong Cunrui has not been forgotten. The hardworking, intelligent and self-reliant Huailai people carried forward the spirit of Dong Cunrui in the new era of "people's interests are above everything else". In the in-depth study and practice of Scientific Outlook on Development, the spirit of Dong Cunrui has been sublimated into the enthusiasm of entrepreneurs, and the spirit of great development and rapid development has been condensed into a powerful driving force for pioneering and enterprising, and great progress has been made in economic and social undertakings.
At that time, Huailai's landscape infiltration raised the hero Dong Cunrui; Now, Dong Cunrui spirit has made new development in Huailai. In 2009, Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall was awarded the title of "Zhangjiakou Anti-corruption Education Base" by the Supervision Bureau of Zhangjiakou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Every year on May 25th, Dong Cunrui Memorial Day, Party organizations, league organizations and troops stationed in Huailai County will hold commemorative activities in Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall, and organize activists to take the oath of joining the Party. Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall is playing an increasingly significant role in giving play to the warning role of the education base, further promoting the construction of a clean government culture and actively creating a good social atmosphere of "being proud of honesty and ashamed of greed".
The cultural construction in Huailai has been steadily advanced.
The hero's hometown has injected red charm into Huailai's development, and the vigorously developed cultural industry has also provided sufficient cultural support for casting "Charming Huailai". In recent years, Huailai county party committee and county government insisted on comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, incorporated the expansion of cultural industry into the overall plan of economic and social development, and promoted the rapid and steady development of cultural industry in an all-round way with the construction of a strong county with scientific development in Beijing and Hebei as the carrier, and achieved gratifying results.
First, pay attention to planning and construction, and strive to lay a solid foundation for the development of cultural industries. Over the past three years, the county has invested 80 million yuan in cultural construction, activated over 100 million yuan in private funds, and completed and put into use the library, Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall and Youth Activity Center.
The second is to grasp the strong leader of the project and fully improve the development level of the cultural industry. On the basis of scientific planning and in accordance with the principle of "implementing a batch, demonstrating a batch, planning a batch and reserving a batch", Huailai County has implemented a project-driven strategy, forming a number of powerful and promising enterprise groups, and the supporting role of leading industries has become increasingly obvious. The cultural resources in Huailai County are becoming cultural capital, and the cultural investment boom is taking shape.
The third is to grasp brands to promote integration and strive to enhance the vitality of cultural industry development. Huailai county deeply digs into historical culture, folk culture and tourism culture resources, makes careful planning and strives to build local cultural brands. One of the important measures is to launch the brand of Ji Ming Post, and cultural tourism has become the new fulcrum of the cultural industry in Huailai County.
The development of cultural industry in Huailai County is standing at a new starting point. Next, Huailai County still regards enhancing cultural competitiveness, enhancing the vitality of cultural industry development, and comprehensively enhancing the ability of sustainable development of cultural economy as an important development goal. More cultural products like "For New China, Advance" make the development context and vitality of cultural construction in Huailai County gradually clear.
