Kurotsuchi: Play mahjong!
Baiyun: Why don’t you even understand this stuff? Obviously this is Tai Chi!
Liu Liu: Yes, this is Tai Chi.
Kurotsuchi: What he is doing is obviously playing mahjong!
Liu Liu: Why are you playing mahjong?
Kurotsuchi: No, it’s shuffling the cards, horse cards, grabbing the cards to see the cards, grabbing the cards to see the cards, it’s confusing! Still touching myself!
Extended information
"Torchbearer" still tells the story of the lovely old couple Heitu and Baiyun, but this time they are competing in the "2008 Olympic Games Liaobei peasant torchbearers" Participate in the online campaign at the "Determining Ceremony". The story is not complicated, and the stage set and props are extremely simple, with only two or three chairs and a torch stand.
Creative background:
Because he knew that 2008 was the year of the Olympic Games, Zhao Benshan was afraid that the audience would think it vulgar and was afraid of "colliding" with other ideas, so he did not create this aspect from the beginning. When CCTV suggested that the script was not included in language programs in 2008, Zhao Benshan's team immediately began to create "Torchbearer".
On February 21, 2008, this sketch won the first prize in the sketch category of the 2008 CCTV "My Favorite Spring Festival Gala Program".
