Insist on proceeding from reality and witness the great era with little people. There are also many vivid archetypes behind Me and My Father. Their stories add a bit of thickness and temperature to the image.

Riding the wind

"Jizhong cavalry regiment"

"Jump on the horse quickly, wave the whip, and with a fighting heart, bravely rush forward, cross the mountains, cross the plains, and catch up with the front line … Brave and invincible, brave and invincible, our iron cavalry! "

　

This is an anti-Japanese war song popular in central Hebei — — "Our Iron Cavalry" describes the brave and heroic soldiers of Jizhong cavalry regiment, and is also the prototype of the unit "Riding the Wind" directed by him.

Jizhong Cavalry Regiment is a typical lancer team, which is good at attacking the invading Japanese army by long-distance attack and circuitous outflanking, and has fought more than 50 times in total.

　

Colonel Ma Renxing, played by Jason Wu, was also a real person. He joined the army at the end of 1924, secretly joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in October 1938, led an uprising in 1941, and then served as the head of the second cavalry regiment of the Eighth Route Army Jicha Jin Military Region.

　

Ma Renxing is brave and good at fighting, and he has the reputation of "hero of Liaoji" and "hero of Yanzhao". In 1947, he was unfortunately killed by a stray bullet in the battle of Siping. To commemorate him, the Siping Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China also named the most prosperous Sidao Street "Renxing Street".

The story of the unit "Riding the Wind" took place during the "May Day" counter-campaign in 1942. Originally, the cavalry regiment had successfully jumped out of the encirclement of the enemy, but in order to contain the enemy and rescue the besieged cadres and the masses, after a short respite, it was ordered to return to the hinterland of the base area to persist in the struggle.

　

In more than 60 days, Jizhong Cavalry Corps fought to the death in the "iron wall encirclement" of tens of thousands of enemies, and used traditional cavalry impact tactics to tear a bloody gap in the Japanese blockade, thus completing the task heroically.

However, after this battle, the casualties of the team were also very heavy. Ma Chengfeng, the son of Ma Renxing, the head of the team, and Yang Jingguo, the director of the Political Department, died heroically. Wang Nairong, the political commissar, was seriously injured and shot himself. The cavalry regiment of 1,200 people eventually left less than 400 people.

　

It is a pity that such a heroic team has not yet had a systematic history of war, and can only trace the Ji Guang Pian feather of Jizhong Cavalry Corps from the records of party history, military history and the memoirs of few insiders.

This is also the meaning of Riding the Wind — — Through vivid images, "biography" for the dead heroes.

Today, the People’s Liberation Army has already had an indestructible "iron horse", but the revolutionary heroism of the "fathers" who fought bravely and were not afraid of sacrifice, like the banner held high by Colonel Ma Renxing, stood firm and was passed down from generation to generation.

　

Poetry

"Several generations of astronauts"

At 21: 35 on April 24th, 1970, the satellite Dongfanghong-1 was successfully launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Site by the Long March-1 carrier rocket. China broke the technological blockade and monopoly of foreign countries and started a new era in space history.

　

In "Poetry", the first generation of astronauts who developed China’s first artificial satellite were also targeted, and the little-known group of gunpowder sculptors was selected as the entrance.

One of the archetypes of the story — — Xu Liping, a national senior technician and special aerospace technician, is a gunpowder sculptor.He has held his post for more than 30 years, and won many honors such as "Touching China", "Model of the Times" and "The Most Beautiful Struggler" in 2015.

The responsibility of the powder sculptor is "micro-shaping", but the object is not the human body, but the solid fuel of the missile engine.

　

Solid fuel engine is the heart of strategic and tactical missile equipment, and it is also the key component for launching manned spacecraft rockets. Its manufacturing has thousands of processes, and one of the most demanding processes is the micro-shaping of solid fuel for the engine.

The size and accuracy of the burning surface directly determine the flight trajectory and precise range of the missile. A slight deviation will lead to the engine deviating from the track or even exploding.

　

At present, in this field, no matter how sophisticated the machine is, it can’t completely replace the manual work. It is this arduous and dangerous work that Li Xu Equal Powder Carver is responsible for.

As shown in the movie, because the fuel used in the space solid rocket engine contains more and more energy, the operator is like lying on the explosive bag when shaping the powder. Once the cutter accidentally touches the metal shell or the friction is too large, it will cause combustion or even explosion in an instant.

　

Therefore, people often use "interacting with danger and keeping company with death" to describe this special occupation.

What’s more worth mentioning is that Xu Liping’s mother is also a powder sculptor, and she is one of the earliest employees in the plastic workshop of China Aerospace Solid Rocket Engine Production Base.

It was under her influence that Xu Liping took up the post of gunpowder sculptor.

Xu Liping’s wife is also an "aerospace second generation". There are eleven people in the family, except for three children who are going to school, eight of them are astronauts.

The youngest daughter in the movie finally became an astronaut. In the history of China, there were two female astronauts. In 2012, Liu Yang took the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft into Tiangong-1 to carry out China’s first manned rendezvous and docking mission; In 2013, Wang Yaping went into space by Shenzhou 10, becoming the first female astronaut born in 1980s in China.

In 2015, Xu Liping was awarded the "Touching China" Person of the Year, and the awarding words read: "Every time I fall, I can hear my heartbeat. You can’t have a slight carving on gunpowder, and every weapon of a great country can’t be separated from you. You are a craftsman and you are a great craftsman. "

　

This "artisan spirit" is endowed with poetic connotation in the film. "I am a poet, and my job is to write poems in the sky every day." This simple line is full of the unique romantic feelings of aviation people, and it also supports several generations of astronauts to have fun in the desert of Huangsha.

"Ordinary smallness is the beginning of greatness." This is a "poem" written by filmmakers to astronauts, and it is also a poem written by astronauts to the stars and the sea.

Duck prophet

"The first TV advertisement in China"

"Shanghai TV Station will accept advertising business from now on"

　

On January 28th, 1979, on the first day of the first lunar month, at 17: 05 in the evening, it was an "inter-epoch" moment: Shanghai TV station broadcasted China’s first TV advertisement — — "Shengui Yangrong Liquor" advertisement.

The advertisement lasted for 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the content was very simple. The son and daughter-in-law took their granddaughter to the store to buy Shengui Yangrong wine to honor their old father, and his father smiled after receiving the wine.

　

Now, the image data of this advertisement has been lost, and only four "split-mirror pictures" drawn from memory are based on which the story of the unit "Duck Prophet" is adapted.

　

"Shengui Yangrong Wine" was a tonic wine produced by Shanghai No.2 Factory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which was distributed by Shanghai Chinese Medicine Company. The price of a single bottle was about 15 or 16 yuan, which was expensive, but most families with televisions at that time were well-off and coincided with the Spring Festival. This advertisement can be described as "just after one’s heart".

　

Although the advertisement was broadcast only five or six times in Shanghai TV station, the response was excellent. Shengui Yangrong wine sold out quickly in major stores, showing the powerful effect of the advertisement.

At that time, the editor-in-chief of Liberation Daily commented that a gold medal should be awarded to Shanghai TV Station today, because it broke the unwritten ban that TV stations in our country never broadcast advertisements.

　

On March 12, People’s Daily also published the article "Shanghai resumes commodity advertising business", which affirmed the practice of Shanghai TV station to broadcast advertisements.

In the early days of reform and opening-up, many industries were waiting for prosperity, many ideological imprisonments needed to be broken, and advertising was once resisted because it was regarded as the product of capitalism.

　

In such an environment, shooting and broadcasting the first TV advertisement undoubtedly requires considerable courage, which can also be said to be the "duck prophet" spirit of "daring to be the first in the water" frequently mentioned in the film.

Compared with the first two units, Zhao Pingyang, played by Xú Zhēng, has no aura of a hero, but is just an ordinary Shanghainese citizen, but also the epitome of ordinary people who dare to be the first and innovate in the wave of reform and opening up in Qian Qian.

　

At the end of this unit, classic advertisements such as Yanwu tape recorder, Kodak film, Jianlibao and southern black sesame paste appeared in turn, which together merged into the prosperity of Shanghai, an international metropolis.From the first advertisement to the scale of China’s advertising market approaching one trillion yuan, the development of advertising industry has also witnessed the social, economic and cultural progress in China.

　

If we say that the first three units are all looking back at history, the "Youth Travel" directed is based on the present and looking forward to the future.

　

"Youth is strong, country is strong" and "science and technology are prosperous, nation is prosperous". Although there are no specific figures and event prototypes in this unit, it is closely linked to the strategy of strengthening the country through science and technology and talents in the new era, and the spirit of scientific and technological innovation is passed down between "father and son" through humorous ways.

　

From "Motherland" to "Hometown" and then to "Father", it has always been the starting point of this series of creations to arouse the resonance of the whole people with images and write the great era with little people. It is also one vivid prototype figure after another that makes us more shocked, memorable and moved in addition to laughter and tears.
