This issue's Drama Appraisal – 'The Most Beautiful Youth'
The mottled years, stain the silent mountains. Like the silence of ancestors, bearing heavy responsibilities with shoulders
This touch of spring color, reflects the bleakness of the rain and wind. Like the fire of fathers, opening precedents with hands
The whirlpools of life and death, the vicissitudes of destiny. Like a pulsating heartbeat, following inner choices, I come to this
Youth's most beautiful color is the blazing heart fire. The sun shines in a white-brownish-brown, waiting for the shade to be in place
Youth's most beautiful color is the tender spring color. Converging love into a river, watering green
The theme song of the drama lingers in my ears for a long time, the touching lyrics intertwine with the pure melody, bringing back the unforgettable scenes in the drama, making my heart uneasy for a long time
'Why do my eyes often contain tears, because I love this land deeply'
Although Mr. Ai Qing's poems have already been familiar, but the emotion contained in them has never been experienced. Until I watched this story taking place in the Searshanba, I realized that period carved into legendary years, until countless passionate waves, until involuntary tears flow down…
Finally, I understand
So, I can't wait to recommend this 'Most Beautiful Youth' to you
Because, I believe you also like me, love this land that breeds magical creatures
Preview of viewing
Searshanba is located at the junction of the Mongolian Plateau and the Hebei-Jing region, the main natural landscape is plateau terrace
In history, Searshanba was a place with abundant water, dense forests, and abundant birds and beasts, known as 'the source of water, the homeland of clouds, the world of flowers, and the ocean of forests'. In 1681, the Qing Emperor Kangxi inspected the Outer Region, and held a four-season ceremony of 'searching for spring, cultivating seedlings in summer, harvesting hares in autumn, and hunting in winter' in this 'southern connecting the imperial capital, northern controlling the vast desert, majestic mountains and rivers, and well-suited mileage' grazing land, establishing the Mudan Riding Field
However, with the passage of history, Searshanba was opened for grazing in the second year of the Tongzhi reign. After plunder-like logging and devastating wildfires, this once 'beautiful mountains and forests, deep forest and deep lakes' sacred place no longer exists. Searshanba turned into a plateau wasteland, presenting a desolate scene of 'flying birds without nests, trees without shade, and no sun'. In the 60s of the 20th century, to prevent wind and sand and store water, the plateau desert Searshanba formally established a mechanical forest farm
Under the call of 'youth dedication to the motherland, go to the most difficult places to work', young people from all over the country came to Searshanba. For half a century, they overcame unimaginable difficulties and created the world's largest artificial forest
The drama's storyline focuses on the success of forest planting, and the plot before the successful planting is divided into three segments
The male protagonist Feng Cheng guards Searshanba for three years
A pioneer team consisting of college students (including two vocational students) and workers were stationed in Searshanba
- The Searshanba Mechanical Forest Farm established after failures still persevered, finally succeeded in planting trees
- The plot after the success of planting focuses on the emotional changes and final destinations of the characters in the drama, showing the tenderness and realism of the loyalty and betrayal, perseverance and abandonment, love and hate, and love and hate
- Below, the author analyzes the major characters in the drama to interpret why this work, which won the 'Five One Project Award', can harvest a wave of acclaim from the audience
Character appraisal – Feng Cheng
The male protagonist Feng Cheng (played by Liu Zhiyang) is a college student who first came to Searshanba. He guarded the plateau for three years alone, he vowed not to plant trees and not to leave the plateau, which is a touching story
However, Feng Cheng's reason for being alone on the plateau was just because his girlfriend left him without saying goodbye, this irrational idea made him increasingly manic, combined with the fact that the trees he planted for three years did not live, so his increasingly paranoid thoughts eventually turned into madness. After that, the pioneer team stationed in Searshanba, Feng Cheng and a college student with professional planting knowledge could not get along, he thought that these people came to Searshanba only to make money, but time proved him wrong. Under the hard work of college student Qin Xuemei, Feng Cheng eventually changed his mind
This character is the core of the whole drama, from arrogant personality to humble maturity, he abandoned dogmatism and haste, inherited courage and selflessness
In the drama, he and the pioneer team captain Zhao Tianshan (played by Jia Hongwei) mutual support is touching, this genuine friendship interprets true friendship must have the same values
Character appraisal – Qin Xuemei
Qin Xuemei (played by He Ruhong) is the daughter of forest chief Qin Qunfeng (played by Gao Ming), but the two have been separated for many years and have not been reunited. After graduating from college, she voluntarily came to Searshanba and decided to contribute her youth
After arriving in Searshanba, Qin Xuemei's sincerity and strength affected Feng Cheng, and Feng Cheng's courage and selflessness infected her
Finally, at the award ceremony, Qin Xuemei, standing in front of the audience, including all levels of leaders and workers from various forest farms, as well as admirers Wu Yan and Qi Xuemei, she transformed her thesis report into a declaration of love for Feng Cheng, which touched the audience
This character's setting is perfect, treating work seriously and seriously, treating life optimistically and positively. Like Feng Cheng, when he faced injustice, he never blamed himself and never gave up, but he proved his original intentions with practical actions
Later, Qin Xuemei and Feng Cheng got married, and Qin Xuemei's and Feng Cheng's parents were reunited
In the world, the most unbreakable is family love, even if you look at each other across the ocean and sky
In life, the most haunting is love, as long as you have the same interests
