Because it is too natural, too real, and too close to life, many people can find their own shadows as teenagers or adults from the play, so "Parents' Love" has hit new heights and even become a "big screen" drama.
Many viewers praised the play for showing the warmth of China's family. It not only embodies the "love of parents", but also embodies the feelings of comrades-in-arms, aunts, fathers and sons, and neighbors. It really has the power to "kill Korean dramas".
Moreover, this drama also triggered a heated discussion about "the ordinary but warm and touching love story of parents' generation".
The original novel of "Parents' Love" and the screenwriter of this play are both military female writers Liu Jing.
Like her parents' love background, Liu Jing is from Yantai, Shandong.
She was 196 1 born and raised in a military camp on the island. From 65438 to 0979, he was drafted into the army and served as the monitor, teacher and deputy instructor of a communication group of the General Staff. 199 1 entered the junior college class of literature department of PLA Art College, worked in PLA Literature Publishing House for many years, and then transferred to the literature department of Bayi Film Studio.
Liu Jing's works include Parents' Love, Dressing up a Woman, Looking for Grandpa, Wandering, Where are you waiting for me, etc. Among them, the novella "Parents' Love" won the first prize of the new work of the whole army 1996 and the China Literature Selection Award 1998.
After the TV series hit. The careful audience found that the screenwriter Liu Jing grew up in an island military camp, and thus speculated that the prototype of "parents" in the play was Liu Jing's biological parents.

Sadly, Liu Jing died of cancer last March at the age of 58.
Before and after the creation of this work, Liu Jing once wrote a humorous "self-report" article on the occasion of the first broadcast of the TV series.
At the end of the "readme", there is a passage that says that when her sister was watching "porn", she questioned the words of the hero in the TV series "Parents' Love":
"What annoys me most is my sister, and I am still my sister. She also sank into the sea, and nothing happened again. At first, I, with strong self-esteem, reserved not to ask her. Later I was really reserved and asked her why she didn't move. She also rolled her eyes and said, I can't watch it anymore! After watching two episodes, I stopped watching! I asked: Why? She replied: I saw Guo Tao angry! I said, what are you angry about? She said, does he look like our father? I was so angry that I couldn't help crying and laughing. I said to her, why are you not as good as our mother? She said confidently: I just regard them as my parents! "
This seems to mean that the life prototype of Liu Jing's works should be her parents.
In response to many people's speculations, Liu Jing said in an interview with media reporters before his death:
"Certainly can't say. But "parental love" is my familiar life. What is' familiarity'? You have seen it since childhood, both at home and outside. On the island, in the military camp, neighbors, uncles and aunts, at that time, every household lived with the door open, and there was no secret. "
Liujing Island is Long Island, or "miaodao islands". It is located at the intersection of the Bohai Sea estuary, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea and consists of 32 islands. The island in the play is one of them.
There is a garrison camp on the island. In the military camps in the 1950s and 1960s, as in the drama "Parents' Love", there were not a few military cadres with low educational level who married a beautiful wife with a cultural and even family background.
As Liu Jing said: "At that time, the female family members of the island troops were Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Returned Overseas Chinese, and people from Shanghai, Guangdong and Hong Kong." .
The Love of Parents summarizes and reviews the life experiences of military families in China, and Liu Jing writes it vividly, beautifully, unprecedentedly and heartily.
According to some data, General Liu Zuo, the former commander of Wei Yan garrison, commander of Lushun base and consultant of North Sea Fleet, should be one of the prototypes of Jiang Defu in the play.
It has also been pointed out that the screenwriter is the second daughter of General Liu Zuo and should be the prototype of Jiang in TV series.
(Liu Zuo)
Historical records: General Liu Zuo, 192 1 July, was born in Tangjiazhuang Village, Fu Jia Town, Zhangdian District, Zibo. At the end of 1937, he took part in the Heitieshan Uprising led by the Producers' Party and embarked on the revolutionary road. Successively served as platoon leader, company commander and battalion commander of Shandong column of the Eighth Route Army.
During the War of Liberation, Liu Zuo successively served as battalion commander, chief of staff and head of the regiment, leading his troops to participate in the Huaihai Campaign. 1May, 949, in the Battle of Songhu, he led his troops to occupy the enemy Tangqiao International Radio Station and Jiangwan Airport. After conquering Shanghai, he also served as the director of the Military Management Committee of Yangshupu District in Shanghai, and made contributions to restoring industrial production, stabilizing citizens' lives and defeating enemy sabotage.
1950, Liu Zuo was appointed as the chief of staff of the 78th Division of the 26th Army of the Volunteers, and the first batch entered the DPRK to participate in the war. Participated in the second, fourth and fifth campaigns and later sports defense operations, leaving many shrapnel in his body.
During the period of peace construction, Liu Zuo served as deputy commander, chief of staff, deputy commander and deputy commander of Changshan fortress area in the navy. Commander of Wei Yan Garrison, Commander of Lushun Naval Base, Consultant of North Sea Fleet, etc.
Liu Zuoyu 1955 was awarded the rank of founding colonel, and won the third-class medal of independence and freedom and the second-class medal of liberation. 1988 was awarded the Medal of Independence of China People's Liberation Army. 1985 take a break from work. He died in Qingdao in 2007.
And people's speculation about the prototype in the play is also because there is an episode in the play in which Jiang Defu sent his sister Dehua back to her hometown. The departure station and destination written on the sign on the train are Qingdao-Zhangdian.
Liu Jing's "parental love" must have the shadow of her father, father-in-law, uncle and uncle. Jiang Defu in the play should be the epitome of many military cadres at the same level in that era.
Liu Jing was not confused when he adapted the script of the TV series "Parents' Love". At a very mature stage. The script "Parents' Love" is her re-creation and sublimation of the novel "Parents' Love", which incorporates her deep thinking about life.
Many plots in TV dramas are based on life. If it's just for my father. Jiang Defu is Liu Jing's fictional frank, alert and kind father image, which combines many familiar materials of her parents and even herself, and is definitely higher than the real person in life.
A friend who is familiar with the inside story wrote that the prototype of Liu Jing's "Parents' Love" should be the East China Field Army during the Liberation War. Battalion commanders in the army, such as Colonel Jiang and Deputy Chief of Staff Ding depicted in "Parents' Love", are mostly from Shandong.
(Liu Jing)
Jiang Defu, the father of the drama "Parents' Love", was a major when he was awarded the title 1955. The troops were stationed near the big city, and he happened to meet the beautiful woman An Jie. Although she is a young lady from a capitalist family, Jiang Defu decided to marry this woman at the risk of being demoted and demobilized.
Since then, whenever there is "movement", Jingdefu must be implicated in some aspects. Finally, the promotion of the position was really affected. But the sweetness of parents' "love" is getting stronger and stronger.
The actors in the play grasped the roles of Colonel Jiang and Commander Jiang very accurately and performed them very authentically. Even the screenwriter Liu Jing sighed:
"It's no wonder that the ancient sages said: People can't judge by appearances, and the sea can't be measured. After watching the whole play, I was persuaded by the actor Guo Tao. To tell the truth, he doesn't shine in the front, but the farther he plays, the better. At the end of the performance, I forgot his swollen eyes, but I really like him! Of course, he is not Guo Tao himself here, but the father he plays! "
Mei Ting, the actor of her mother Angie, has a good grasp of this role.
An Jie is beautiful, educated and cultured, but she comes from a capitalist family and feels lack of self-confidence. At home, she is protected by her husband, and outside, she is also protected by her husband and has never been angry.
However, when she wrote the script, Liu Jing didn't give her peace. She specially designed a sister-in-law from the countryside. She is uneducated and fearless, and when she sees something that is not pleasing to the eye, she will start calling names.
Angie was bullied by her sister-in-law, so she had to submit to humiliation.
It is said that characters like Angie were really common in the army at that time. All the connotations given to this role by Liu Jing made the actor Mei Ting "thoroughly understand".
Mei Ting played Angie steadily and accurately. Let her be absolutely indispensable in "Parents' Love", and let women with the same fate at that time feel the same way and like it from the heart.
For Angie's sister-in-law Jiang Dehua, Liu Lin's performance won wide acclaim.
She let people see that this rural older girl, although informal, is definitely not selfish and is a good person.
She brought up all five children of the Chiang family, took care of the children, ran the housework, contradicted my brother, bullied my sister-in-law, and reprimanded this and that. For the sake of your marriage, you can ignore it and pay with your true feelings, full of truth and impolite words, and full of gunpowder.
Liu Lin's expression, eyes, movements, kind and rough personality spirit are impeccable. If you don't know the details, you will really take her as your true face. No wonder people praised Liu Lin's performance.
On the "love of parents", Liu Jing's point of view is in place:
"This novel, called" Parents' Love ",didn't say this person's parents' love. If you see it, you can regard it as the love of our parents, that would be great. "
