The novel “The World” is a realist literary masterpiece created by the famous writer Liang Xiaosheng after several years. In 2019, it won the “Mao Dun Literature Award”, the title of contemporary Chinese novel. Liang Xiaosheng said that the concept of “human world” goes beyond the traditional category of “civilian” and is not limited to a specific social class, but is a panoramic depiction of the society of an era. No matter how the times change, the most precious thing is the temperature between people. The original intention of the creation of “The World” is to protect the softest and kindest part of human nature.
As early as before winning the Mao Dun Literature Award in 2019, the film and television adaptation rights of “The World” were bought by Yiwei Culture. Wu Fengwei, the founder of Yiwei Culture, told the Red Star News reporter that he had been paying attention to the adaptation of serious literature as early as 2017. At that time, I learned that teacher Liang Xiaosheng was writing “The World“. She ran to Liang Xiaosheng’s house more than ten times, and she still did not give up after being poured cold water by Liang Xiaosheng. Finally, she finally bought the adaptation rights of “The World” in 2018. In her opinion, the reason why she is obsessed with serious literature is that the value of these works belongs to the past, the present and the future. The reason why famous books become famous books is that there are characters who have traveled through the times, and their spirits are immortal, as in “The World” Zhou Bingkun, he is an ordinary person. Although he is small, he has not given up his ideals and perseverance. This spirit can give people who are impetuous, anxious and in predicament great strength. This is a spiritual encouragement for everyone. .

Director Li Lu said that “The World” is a story with a deep sense of depth.

I hope to express ” “Warm” is the eternal theme of literary and artistic creation; screenwriter Wang Hailing believes that “The World” stands in the present and looks back at the history of the past, does not avoid the sufferings experienced by the characters, but pays more attention to expressing the face of the characters on the basis of empathy Attitude towards the time of suffering; lead actor Lei Jiayin believes that the play truly presents the warm and cold human feelings in Chinese society in an era, but at the same time it has a unique romantic sense of the emotional relationship between people…

The influence of the great era is naturally an important reason why the three Zhou brothers and sisters have embarked on a path of destiny that is different and connected with each other. For example, Zhou Bingyi has idealism for the people, and is concerned with reform and construction; although Zhou Rong traveled far away for love, she chose to carry out education in the mountains of Guizhou, so that children can see the vastness beyond the mountains; Zhou Bingkun chose to stick to the ordinary, so that although the “Zhou family” is outside, there is still a place to return, full of hope and warmth, highlighting his kindness. “Home” is a small “country”, and “country” is a big “home”. The fate of the Zhou family in the changing times is like a microcosm of real history, showing that in that prosperous era, when the country embarked on a new journey, a group of Ordinary people are also guided towards a new life path. The play slowly unfolds a group portrait of the human world with great depth, richness and quality, poking at the contemporary sympathy of the audience.
In addition, on the basis of ensuring the realistic background, “The World” also pays attention to the expression of high-spirited, positive and inspiring values. The play is dedicated to discovering and extolling the beautiful qualities of ordinary people. Through the story of the Zhou family in the “Light Character Film”, it shows the audience profoundly and vividly that in the surging tide of the times, as long as you stick to the most fundamental truth in your heart True kindness and justice, every ordinary life has the opportunity to shine; and the progress and development of society is inseparable from the efforts of every ordinary person. For today’s young audiences, although “The World” tells the stories of the previous generation, it can also help them find a direction in their confusion, form positive energy of upward, kindness, and beauty, and heal people’s hearts.
