In the early 1960s, there was a small river separating Lingqian Village and Linghou Village in the mountainous area of ??western Henan, with clear water flowing. Li Changsheng from Lingqian Village and Zhao Jianguo from Linghou Village were classmates and friends. Before joining the army, they both got married on the same day and separated their newlywed wives on the same day by the Lingjian River to enlist in the army. From then on, Li Changsheng's wife Zhou Cui and Zhao Jianguo's wife Ye Xiu also became close sisters. However, Li Changsheng and Zhao Jianguo, who joined the army, soon arrived at the front line of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. In a battle, the clever Jianguo was injured to save Changsheng and bleeds profusely. At the end of his life, he entrusted his wife Ye Xiu to the elder Yu Yu. He Li Changsheng, then the enemy rushed up and everything was over. After the war, in the lively scene organized by the old party secretary to welcome the heroes back home, Cui's husband Changsheng came back, but Xiu's husband went with him. The handsome Ye Xiu was born fragile and grieved, and was helpless from then on. From then on, Changsheng and Cui, as relatives and friends of the martyr Jianguo, assumed all the obligations to take care of Xiu, including harvesting, farming, and housework, taking care of everything, including helping Ye Xiu. Find someone to start a family with again. During this process, while Ye Xiu missed her husband Zhao Jianguo, she felt that no one could be as honest and capable as Li Changsheng, so she ultimately did not start a new family. As time goes by, Changsheng and Ye Xiu become brothers and sisters. Two years later, during a heavy rain, there was a leak in Changsheng's home, but he first thought of the Xiu family's house that was about to collapse. Late at night, he rushed to Linghou Village in the rain, and sure enough, Xiu's house was filled with rain. Thanks to the arrival of Changsheng, the scholar was spared the danger of the house collapse due to heavy rain overnight. But after the rain stopped, Changsheng knelt in the stagnant water and roared to the sky, slapping himself repeatedly... Mother is a River stills
Xiu is pregnant. The whole village was in an uproar, and even Zhou Cui couldn't ask who the person was in front of Xiu, but Cui still looked after Xiu like a sister. Because of Xiu's pregnancy, Changsheng began to live in extreme pain. He felt remorseful every time he saw the relics of his comrade Jianguo. However, what should have happened happened, and what should not have happened also happened. Suddenly one day, Zhao Jianguo, who had sacrificed his life, came back with his luggage. It turned out that he was wounded in battle and then captured by the enemy. After recovering from his injuries, he was exchanged as a prisoner of war and returned to his country. After being "educated", he was sent back to his hometown. Zhao Jianguo never expected that his wife, whom he missed day and night on the battlefield and in the prisoner camp, would appear in front of him during a sudden reunion holding someone else's child, Xiao Baojun. He asked countless questions but ultimately failed to find out who the child's father was. At this time, he went to find Changsheng, because they had promised each other on the battlefield: if one died, the other would take care of his wife. What was even more unexpected was that Zhao Jianguo called Li Changsheng to the bridge in front of the village, but before Jianguo could ask questions, Changsheng suddenly knelt down to Jianguo... Jianguo understood everything. He kicked Changsheng from the bridge into the river under the bridge.
Jianguo cursed on the bridge, and Changsheng climbed up from under the bridge and knelt in front of Jianguo. Jianguo kicked him into the cold river again, and so on again and again, until Changsheng no longer had the strength to climb out of the river... Late at night Zhou Cui was so angry that she went to the river to find her husband Changsheng. When she saw her husband who wanted to seek death, she slapped him twice and said: "If you are a man, act like a good man. If you are not a man, do it in front of me." Jump into the river!" Zhou Cui asked her husband to die, but he survived. After the truth came to light, Zhao Jianguo and Ye Xiu no longer had the shame to live in the village. Zhao Jianguo decided to give away their children and took Ye Xiu to leave their hometown and go to the city to find their comrades to escape. On this day, in front of all the villagers, a stranger gave Jianguo a handful of money and took Xiao Baojun away from Ye Xiu's arms, who was in pain. The heart-rending cry of the child came from the village, getting farther and farther. Zhou Cui finally appeared in front of them again. She took the money from Jianguo's hand, threw it to the stranger, and then snatched Xiaobaojun back. She said: "Baojun is the blood of Changsheng, and I am Baojun's biological mother!" At this time, Ye Xiu knelt down to Zhou Cui, who was about to die, but Cui said: "I hope you and Jianguo will fly away and never come back again. Visit this child." After Jianguo's family left, Changsheng felt guilty all day long at home. Facing his generous wife Zhou Cui, his son Baojun, who was growing up day by day, and his two daughters, he remained speechless all day long. Work hard to atone for your sins. The Cultural Revolution began. When the brigade selected village cadres, Changsheng was elected. But on the day of the announcement, he was removed because of his "corruption of style." This incident once again pushed Changsheng into the abyss of pain. For this reason, Zhou Cui went to various houses in the village to question and quarrel with the township cadres. She was fierce, bold and tenacious. After knowing that it was Luo Quan Shu and his wife from the village who were suing her husband, she went to Luo's house and threw pots and bowls, causing the Luo family and his wife to be disgraced. Don’t apologize to Changsheng again. However, no matter how hard Zhou Cui tried over the past few years, Changsheng could not erase this memory and live as usual. Until there was an accidental fire at Uncle Luo Quan's house, Chang Sheng was the first to fight the fire. In the end, Chang Sheng was burned alive to save Uncle Luo Quan's grandson... As a result, Li Chang Sheng received the most solemn funeral in the village. Because of this, Zhou Cui completely and truly recovered Chang Sheng and began to have a more complete and sacred love. She traveled hundreds of miles by herself and asked someone to carve a stone tablet with the words: Tomb of the good man Li Changsheng and the martyr. Before, she had secretly hated Chang Sheng for Xiao Baojun. After that, she transferred all her love for Chang Sheng to her daughter and Baojun. After Jianguo and Ye Xiu entered the city, they lived in a small hut beside the railway. Xiu made a living by picking up garbage. Jianguo followed the old battalion commander who became the health director to guard the gate. The relationship continued to deepen, and later he worked as a receptionist in a government agency, and later became the deputy section chief. After having a daughter, he was given a house, and Ye Xiu was also transferred to a hospital as a gatekeeper. In this way, their family became a cadre family in a big city from the bottom of society. Zhou Cui, on the other hand, endured hardships and lived a tenacious life in the countryside. In order to provide for her three children to study, she endured humiliation and married an ugly commune cadre, and lied to her children and villagers that she was working for others in the town. The new husband is willing to pay for the education of her three children, but the condition is that he cannot take the children into his home. In this way, in her new home, Zhou Cui respects her parents-in-law, works diligently, and treats the children of her new husband's family as if they were her own. Everything she endured in her new home, she tried her best not to let her children know even a little bit, and she pretended to be happy every time she came back. Later, the children discovered that their mother had secretly married, and many incomprehensions, misunderstandings, and unimaginable resentments occurred between them. And when the mother took back the tuition and food in exchange and gave them to the children, the children understood everything and had a unique birthday in the countryside for their mother who was already married to someone else. However, when Zhou Cui gradually discovered that her husband, a state cadre, had extremely bad qualities and that all the money and grain she took home was obtained by embezzlement and reselling the relief grain distributed by the commune to farmers, she resolutely divorced him. Married... Mother is a River stills
The life of Zhou Cui's family soon fell into trouble again. When the children again couldn't afford the school fees, she made her eldest daughter Da Tao drop out of school. Da Tao carried her mother on her back and went to the city to find Ye Xiu to ask for tuition fees for her brother so that she could fulfill her maternal duties. Jianguo firmly refused, and Ye Xiu cried bitterly. After Zhou Cui found out about this, he waved his hand and hit Da Tao, and then the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Da Tao finally understood her mother's feelings. During this time, a middle-aged farmer from the neighboring village was kind and honest, and kept helping her. The two fell in love, and the old party secretary presided over their marriage.
But in the following days, she lost an arm due to electric shock and was admitted to the hospital. From then on, the burden of life fell entirely on her kind-hearted husband. Because her husband was tired all day long and became weak day by day, she did not want to drag others down and was discharged from the hospital. Later, she filed for divorce from her husband... After the Cultural Revolution, the second child, Shuangtao, and Baojun were admitted to the county high school together. Due to their poor family background, the two of them could only afford one, but they both wanted to go to school. As a result, Cui used the method of "drawing lots" to make her biological daughter Shuangtao drop out of school. Baojun studied well in the county high school. In order to support Baojun's studies, Cui took the fine grains to the city to exchange for coarse grains, but unexpectedly she exchanged them with Xiu's family. But she didn't accept any help Xiu offered her. Later, Baojun couldn't afford the tuition, so Cui started selling blood at the county hospital for two or three years. She used the money from selling blood not only to support Baojun's education, but also to unimaginably set up a chicken farm at home. She also had savings and bought a walking tractor. Like the men, she pulled stones from the mine and ran transportation. At this time, when she was about to become rich, her third divorced, honest husband became terminally ill. She resolutely sold the chicken farm and tractor to treat his illness. In the end, the illness was not cured and he died. And she once again fell into the desperate situation of selling blood... During this period, Zhao Jianguo became the deputy director, and Ye Xiu became the hospital cashier. Zhao deceived Ye Xiu into misappropriating a sum of public funds from the hospital for the sake of the chief of the government. After the incident, Jianguo was afraid of the repercussions. Qiancheng asked Xiu to take the blame, and Xiu was imprisoned. At this time, the old party secretary, Uncle Luo Quan, Er Kun and Cui's family all went to the city to watch the prison, and Cui specially led Baojun. In order to save Xiu, Cuihe, the old party secretary, and the villagers raised funds to buy cattle, pigs, coffins, and blood to repay Jianguo's public funds. Xiu also got to know the face of her husband who became the director better. The country has implemented reform and opening up for many years, but Cui still lives in a poor mountainous area. When she had another chance to become rich, her second husband, who was a state cadre with bad qualities, defrauded her of all her money. She could have He petitioned for restitution and was imprisoned. However, seeing that the in-laws she once served were old, she endured everything. Mother Is a River stills
When her son was about to take the college entrance examination, Zhou Cui was most afraid of his son Baojun being admitted to college. But Baojun cried and begged that he would not go to college but wanted to take the exam. , take a report card to his father's grave and burn it, which can be regarded as a little filial piety and explanation to his father. So Cui had no choice but to sell blood to pay the exam fee. However, she did not expect that Baojun, who had been suspicious for a long time, followed her with the highest transcript in the school. Just as she was drawing blood, Baojun rushed in. So the mother and son hugged each other and cried. At this time, Xiu went to the countryside with the medical team to inspect the work of the hospital. Seeing this scene, Cui calmed down and said to Xiu: "Sister, Baojun has grown up, just take him away and let him finish college..." "On the day when Xiu returned to the village to pick up Baojun with the notice from Peking University, the whole village came to the river to see Baojun off. When Baojun said goodbye to his mother, sister, and villagers, he looked back at his mother step by step. He kowtowed step by step, from the village head to the roadside, until his knees and forehead were bright red... In the end, Baojun succeeded in his studies and got a doctorate in the United States. Jianguo, who wanted to be the mayor, wanted to marry the daughter of the municipal party committee secretary. He was introduced to Baojun, but Baojun resolutely returned to the countryside and held a wedding with Xiaomei, a classmate who had always cared about him in high school, beside his old and frail mother. But at this time, Zhou Cui, the mother who had a bumpy life, was strong and kind-hearted, was already a white-haired, stooped old man in the twilight when her children ushered in the dawn of life, like the river between the two ridges that still has water but has almost dried up. The river...

Several "post-80s" rising stars The 20-episode TV series "Mother is a River" starring Ye Jing, Wang Luodan, and Qu Yue tells the story of a rural woman named Zhou Cui in the mountainous area of ??western Henan. She recognized Baojun, the illegitimate son of her husband and another woman, as her son and raised him with great pains. When she grew up, she eventually became a doctor in the United States and a famous scientist. During this period, she experienced the death of her husband, the death of her eldest daughter, her second daughter dropping out of school, and herself getting married again. Ye Jing, who plays Bao Jun, played the extraordinary, loyal and bloody Ning Wei in the TV series "Blood Romance" and won the heartfelt love of many audiences with her outstanding performance. Baojun, played by Ye Jing, is a thread that runs through the whole story, connecting the two families and the knot between the two parents. Ye Jing's appearance in the play is simple, even rustic, but he expresses Baojun's sincere and deep love for his adoptive mother directly and sincerely through his eyes and simple vernacular. Yu Na, who was born as a model, became a well-known film and television star with Haiyan's drama "What can I do to save you, my love". In this play, Yu Na plays the role of village girl Ye Xiu, with a wide age range, from a teenage girl to a mother in her forties and fifties: she appears as a village girl at the beginning of the play, and she becomes a rag picker after her husband's death. The village woman finally became a rich lady. In this drama, she needs to complete the performance of three roles, and each role's appearance changes greatly. This is a big challenge for Na. In the play, she changed her past youthful and fashionable image, playing a rural woman for the first time, dressing up as middle-aged for the first time, and playing a mother for the first time. This TV series was carefully created by the famous writer and screenwriter Yan Lianke, who is quite satisfied with this work. Yan Lianke said: "I don't want to blindly show cruelty and suffering, but more about warmth and poetry." Director Gao Weining said: ""Mother is a River" is different from previous rural dramas. It does not rely on showing the backwardness and backwardness of the countryside. The progressive changes are attractive and do not rely on forced gimmicks to please people. The whole film accumulates emotional and moral power from beginning to end, and the brilliance of human nature is moving."

In the film and television circles, the name "Shing Taishen" has long been known to everyone. Cheng Taishen
He once won the Best Actor Award at the Three Continents Film Festival in Nantes, France, for his wonderful performance in director Zhu Wen's film "Seafood". In 2004, he successfully played the leading role in the film "The World" directed by Jia Zhangke. It was his outstanding performance and precise interpretation of the role that earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 61st Venice International Film Festival. In 2005, he was also selected as one of the "Top 100 Actors in the World in 2005" selected by the American "Village Voice" magazine. He also became the only mainland actor selected. Starring as the male protagonist in "Mother Is a River" On June 28, 2006, "Mother Is a River" held a press conference in Beijing. Cheng Taishen, who plays the male lead, plays the role of a man between two wives and two mothers in this drama. "Mother is a River" is a story full of tears, sadness, perseverance and struggle. It is a moving historical scroll about the desolate yet exciting destiny, and a masterpiece filled with China's ancient and vibrant traditional virtues. The whole film contains emotional and moral power from beginning to end. A passionate interpretation of a man with intertwined emotions. The "Chang Sheng" played by Cheng Taishen is a hard-working, kind and responsible husband and father, but he makes mistakes because of a moment of confusion.
Faced with the life and death of the brother "Jianguo" on the battlefield, the lovable "Xiu", the lovely son "Baojun" and the kind and generous wife "Cui", such intricate relationships, coupled with the deep inner The collision of moral values ??and guilt caused "Eternal Life" to live in extreme self-blame and endure constant mental torture. It is a big challenge for actors to grasp such a dramatic role and to correctly express the inner emotional world of this man. However, Cheng Taishen's vivid performance, penetrating portrayal of the character, and in-depth exploration of the character's personality finally allowed the complex and short life of "Eternal Life" to be fully and fully displayed in the play, becoming a showcase of maternal love in "Mother is a River" Great central figure. It is precisely because of Cheng Taishen's outstanding performance that people have a mixture of love and hate for "Immortality", and their hearts cannot calm down for a long time. I believe that after watching the whole drama, everyone will sigh that Cheng Taishen, the best actor in Nantes, France, is indeed worthy of his title. As a result, more viewers will remember him, pay attention to him, and like him.
