Li Dazhao, Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu were also chosen as the main characters in the play, and these people had few shots in the previous TV series. The plot is based on their acquaintance, and finally they have to be separated because of their different concepts of life. The story is delicate and the writing is soft. At the same time, it describes the rough experiences of revolutionary youth such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, Deng Zhongxia and Zhao Shiyan, and as an auxiliary line to deepen the story, it reproduces the scene of that year through an artistic technique.
In the awakening era, the topic of the college entrance examination composition was put out, and the candidates shouted: This is simply writing a review.
Why is this play popular? Because it describes a group of young people in China who are hard-working, ambitious and motivated, they can directly feel the heavy sense of history and the eagerness of patriotism. They are the epitome of countless young people in the contemporary era, and they are also role models for countless young people. I want to ask, how many young people can be so brave in pursuing and struggling as they are now, and shine the whole sky with warm ideals? In those days, no one will forget the youth they described with blood. These years will remain in everyone's heart and, of course, will be passed down from generation to generation.
Some people say that the success or failure of a country depends on its young people. The spiritual civilization flowing from the bones of these young people is the foundation of a country's prosperity, but it is not limited to this. Confucius said, "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are not harmonious." There is such a profound "double standard" scene in the play. When Gu Hongming saw Chen Duxiu and Hu Shi, he always gargled with tea, and then spit it out in one gulp. The little gesture shows his disdain and contempt for the two, but when he meets Cai Yuanpei, he will swallow the tea, but it is just the word "gentleman". In the eyes of this "lofty and aloof" scholar, only Cai is there.
This play vividly depicts the etiquette carved in the bones of China people and the innate modesty, mind and humor of scholars. No one can resist the tenderness hidden in the details. It is picturesque in the blood of China people, and it has always belonged to us. The flourishing age of China today must be the same as the flourishing age in the dreams of those literati. Unfortunately, Mr. Lu Xun wrote in his article: "After that, if there is no torch, I will be the only light" and failed to witness the rise of China.
