Watching Drama + Listening to Songs: Giant Wheel

In the past few days, I found an old Hong Kong drama <Great Ship> to watch. This drama was broadcast in 2013. In fact, to me, Hong Kong dramas after 2010 cannot be regarded as old dramas, because I always feel that the taste has changed, so I just I haven’t watched it much anymore. It’s more than a year after the epidemic that I’ve seen a lot of Hong Kong dramas produced after 2010, and many of them were just finished with the background sound on. I really liked the film, from the story to the actors. Speaking of which, I didn't like Chen Zhanpeng and Kan Jiaxin when they were popular, but now I look back on it and think it's pretty good. Is now wearing a nostalgic filter.

<Giant Wheel> means the change of the times. This drama depicts the different faces of Hong Kong and Macau from 1980 to 2013 by telling the life experiences of Qiao Tiansheng and Luo Weixin. A series of major events such as the arrival policy, the handover of Hong Kong sovereignty, the financial turmoil in Hong Kong, the transfer of Macao sovereignty, the 2003 SARS, the 2008 financial tsunami and a series of major events. Of course, the plot is still mainly about love and personal development, but everyone's life is being affected The influence of the times is pushed forward by the times. It is very emotional to compare Hong Kong and Macau, especially after the turmoil in the past two years. In fact, although the two cities are always linked together, their respective positions and pursuits are actually All so different.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the main song of the same name of this play is sung by Chen Zhanpeng and Xiao Zhengnan who play two brothers (their voices really seem to be indistinguishable when I listen to the song). I especially like the lyrics of this song, there are Several sentences hit me very much. "I will walk with you all the way through the true parade in the false prosperity", I think this sentence should resonate with Hong Kong people during the anti-extradition period. ", this sentence is the voice of everyone under the epidemic. "The crowd of people who went to a foreign country that day came back today, or they are worried about the city and are reluctant to let go." This year, I saw many Hong Kong people choose to leave Hong Kong and immigrate because of anxiety or dissatisfaction. When I go to other countries, I also see a lot of articles or videos about their experiences. I am a generation immigrant to Canada, but I am used to being independent since I was a child. I followed my grandparents in Hefei before elementary school, and went back to Kunming to follow my parents and university. I went to Shanghai, the Master went to the UK, and now I came to Canada, so when I asked if I was nostalgic for my hometown, my feelings were really weak, and I felt that finding a place that I liked and adapted to is the most important thing. People leave with the feeling of "We really like Hong Kong", if one day the situation changes, I believe many of them will be willing to go back. "The times have changed and another disappearing shop can we make an agreement? I will maintain an optimistic smile next year." The biggest impact of this epidemic is all kinds of small businesses. From time to time, I hear the news of an old shop being forced to close its doors. Even if I have never visited it, I am very sad to hear the story of the shop owner. "The times have changed. The scenery of the characters has changed", everyone is too small in the big era, we can only accept what is in front of us, what is important to you is not important to many people, the news headlines of last month next No one remembers the month, but we still have to move forward with hope.

Finally paste the full lyrics:

Under the scorching sun, strangers are silent and silent. On this small island, each has a new struggle and builds up every family. On the road, there is the same confidence

I walked with you all the way through the true parade The false prosperity typhoon wanted to invade the night together to resist the rain and the epidemic, the sentimental sentiment in the sadness, and still look forward to seeing the stars fall and cry together Do you remember?

Even in yesterday's highs and lows, every article, how you and I have transformed, can always leap forward in turbulent times, stick to the sky, this giant wheel is turning day by day, we can't return to beauty, and there are new classics in the past.

Even if the wind rushes and flowers fly again one day, you and I are still willing to take on the challenge and go through the most desperate crisis. Even if the test times change, the characters and scenery will change. We are heroic but not defeated.

The crowd of people who ran away from a foreign country that day came back today, or they are all worried about this city, they are reluctant to let go and stand in front of the crowded seaside, reminiscing about childhood close friends without palm prints. Do you remember when we walked together together?

Even in yesterday's highs and lows, every article, how you and I have transformed, can always leap forward in turbulent times, stick to the sky, this giant wheel is turning day by day, we can't return to beauty, and there are new classics in the past.

Even if the wind rushes and flowers fly again one day, you and I are still willing to take on the challenge and go through the most desperate crisis. Even if the test times change, the characters and scenery will change. We are heroic but not defeated.

Even in yesterday's highs and lows, every article, how you and I have transformed, can always leap forward in turbulent times, stick to the sky, this giant wheel is turning day by day, we can't return to beauty, and there are new classics in the past.

Even if the wind is rushing and the flowers fly again one day, you and I are still willing to face the most desperate crisis, even if the test times change and another small shop disappears, can we agree to maintain an optimistic smile next year and see you again
