It is an undeniable fact that patriarchy, an ancient phenomenon with a long history, is difficult to completely change.
But don’t forget that the pursuit and yearning for beauty is deeply rooted in human nature.
Although patriarchy represents harsh reality and authoritarian chains, its power is unrestricted and others must obey its orders and even form a relationship of personal dependence on them.
But we must also know that the most fearful thing about cold things is the burning of sincerity and warmth.
In some cases, once the emotion is in place, it will become soft or even melt, making it difficult to remain rigid and tightly sealed.
This is the reason why life is always full of hope and never despairs.
The first scene that touched people's hearts in 1983 came from the first live broadcast of the "Spring Festival Gala".
This event was planned in November 1982, and the rehearsal of the actors began at the "Yanjing Hotel" in early February 1983. It only relied on 5 cameras, a studio of only 600 square meters, more than 60 cast and crew, and 200 people.
"Spring Festival Gala" completed by a live audience.
Although there was a shortage of funds, there were no stunts, no fireworks, and no computers, it ushered in a new era.
Since then, the "Spring Festival Gala" has not only become a fixed format for hundreds of millions of Chinese families to spend New Year's Eve, but this year's "Spring Festival Gala" has also become the most successful and most loved Spring Festival Gala.
Its reputation is far better than that of the later "Spring Festival Gala" in the era of heavy investment, big production, gathering of stars, and various tricks.
This has not changed so far, and I believe it will never change again.
The reason for this is actually not because this "Spring Festival Gala" is so novel in terms of program and format.
At that time, sketches had not yet been formed, and "cross-dressing" was rare. No matter how novel the program was, compared with previous performances, it could not escape the categories of singing, dancing, opera, juggling, and folk arts.
Even though a crosstalk actor was the host at the time, the innovative performance format of the live on-demand program did become a gimmick that attracted the audience's attention.
But in the future, it will eventually become commonplace due to being indifferent to strange things, and will gradually be forgotten and ignored by people.
So the real reason for its success is actually because this "Spring Festival Gala" is full of sincerity and hope. It is the most unpretentious and full of human touch.
True love comes from three aspects.
First of all, this is a party that is completely centered on singing and laughter, subverting the concept of parties that most people have been accustomed to for many years.
Moreover, at the sincere request of the director, all the actors participated voluntarily without any remuneration just to make the whole country happy.
Even the actors and hosts were wearing their usual clothes, completely prepared by themselves.
Especially when the "Spring Festival Gala" was not yet famous at that time, and it was by no means a designated performance task for each unit.
Even the most popular singers in the country at the time, Yang Weifan and Gu Yi, and the most famous movie star Liu Xiaoqin, all sacrificed their respective families, readily accepted the invitation, and actively cooperated in the rehearsals.
This kind of public spirit and sense of morality cannot be compared with contemporary stars who only care about "money" and "fame", and who say they won't participate in movies "however low the box office is."
Secondly, Liu Xiaoqin became the first celebrity to use television media to express her homesickness in this Spring Festival Gala.
As the last actor to report, her only request for participating in the performance was to send New Year greetings to her parents in her hometown.
But this request is not easy to pass. As an official media, what we have to worry about is the seriousness of politics.
After many layers of review and approval, she finally got the chance to speak at the highest level of the national television station.
And when she faced the national audience and said affectionately, "Today is New Year's Eve, I am here to wish my parents who are far away in my hometown and sitting in front of the TV a good year."
A kind of delicate warmth that has never been experienced in official media has successfully aroused the emotional resonance of everyone in front of the TV.
This is the true "Spring Festival Gala spirit".
As for the end, it is undoubtedly Gu Yi and Yang Weifan who are destined to go down in history as the male and female singers with the most on-demand songs respectively.
At this party, not only did Gu Yi sing seven songs as in previous lives, but Yang Weifan also followed closely behind and sang his seven famous songs one by one.
Together, the two became the well-deserved male and female "Mai Ba" of the night.
The biggest climax of the party was that the official phone number of the party was almost overwhelmed due to the enthusiasm of countless viewers.
At the same time, Gu Yi’s much-criticized song “Nostalgic Love” had two large plates filled with on-demand notes.
Therefore, with the concerted efforts of the broad masses of the people, the song was finally released in public at the order of the chief director.
So when Gu Shen sang this song affectionately, the voice coming out of the TV was not only euphemistic and beautiful, but also contained touching and exciting emotional resonance.
This is the expression of the true will of the people, a song of victory that breaks through the constraints and feels proud.
Therefore, this evening party also played a role in reshaping value invisibly.
Countless families and countless young men and women are rejoicing and looking forward to the future.
I'm afraid the only people who feel disappointed and dumbfounded are those who were sincerely grateful not long ago that Gu Yi left the "National Orchestra" and took over this hot potato for the "Haiphong Song and Dance Ensemble".
Of course, when it comes to emotional delicacy and sincerity, the above is still not everything.
If we look at it from a broader perspective, the remarkable parts are even more touching than the party scene.
For example, after the performance, the four hotlines were overloaded for 10 consecutive hours and all the phone lines were overheated.
The person on duty at Telephone Bureau 86 in charge of the line had to call the police.
Engineering technicians and firefighters stayed at the telephone station all night for this purpose.
In addition, when all the cast and crew returned to the Yanjing Hotel after a simple late-night snack of dumplings and noodles, they found that the entire building was brightly lit, and all the waiters at work spontaneously lined up to welcome the return of the crew.
For another example, when the party was in progress, the TV camera panned across Yang Weifan at the table.
In a corner of a large courtyard, a girl who was watching TV at someone else's house couldn't help but let out a trilling lament.
And her colleagues and best friends in her workplace couldn't help but tease her about this, saying, "Are you too obsessed with Yang Weifan? Don't worry, there will definitely be his show later. You will definitely watch enough."
"
Unexpectedly, the girl who was always shy would react quite abnormally this time.
Not only did she frown, she stared blankly at the screen for a long time without saying anything.
After a long while, he quietly recited something worried.
"He...he has something on his mind, he is unhappy. It must be like this, it must be, I know..."
For another example, when Wang Jingyu's performance of "Chicken Eating" on the TV aroused laughter from thousands of households, only "Zhang Dashao" was sitting at the small dining table, sipping from a small wine cup, and cursed, "Making chicken is a waste of time."
The cook deserves to be killed!".
But unexpectedly, at this moment, not only did his door knock, but a voice came from the door.
"The cook who eats alone should also be killed."
As soon as the door opened, a playful Hong Yanwu and a naive and smiling Chen Liquan walked in together.
One is holding a jar of wine, and the other is holding several lunch boxes. Their purpose is self-evident.
"Zhang Dashao" felt his heart heat up and his hands trembled, but he still pretended to be dissatisfied and scolded.
"If you don't celebrate the Chinese New Year well, why are you two here disturbing my peace?"
Hong Yanwu explained.
"There was a lot of commotion at home, and even the neighbors came to our house to borrow a phone to call the party hotline, and we had a lively chat. Well, we brothers also want to be quiet, so we asked you to have a drink."
But "Zhang Dashao" still refused to give up.
"Drink something? Are you so uninvited? By the way, who did you just say should be killed?"
Hong Yanwu quickly surrendered and lifted up everything in his hand.
"Look, you're bored. Are you kidding me? Well, I'm talking about myself. This is my uncle's home-brewed 'Mandianxiang' and some home-cooked dishes made by my mother. I don't want you to taste them.
Tasting, I become a solitary eater..."
"Zhang Dashao" then relaxed.
"Okay, okay, then come in and close the door quickly. All the heat is gone."
Although he pretended to turn around sternly, in fact he quietly wiped away the tears hidden in his eye sockets.
