For modern China, the significance of reform and opening up is no less than any historical event. It is a key choice for the fate of contemporary China and a necessary path for China to move towards great rejuvenation.

The old man who contributed to all this is worth remembering by everyone.

After the memorial service, Lin Chaoyang was stopped by a leader and had a few cordial conversations with the couple.

Finally, he asked Lin Chaoyang again: "Is the Opium War finished filming?"

"The filming is over, and the post-production will be over in another month."

The leader nodded with relief.

"Okay. I mentioned this before my death. Returning is a big deal. You must do this well, and the people of the whole country are watching."

"Don't worry."

After the memorial service, Tao Yushu stayed in Yanjing for a few days to wait for the founding meeting of the Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association led by Yan University.

Wednesday, March 5, Jingzhe.

The large dining room of Yan University was converted into a lecture hall more than ten years ago. Over the years, as long as there were major events on campus, there were a lively scene with crowds of people, and today is no exception.

Red banners hung high on the dome of the auditorium are one by one. Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association founding meeting. Huang Cancan's line of big words are particularly eye-catching, and the lecture hall is full.

Not only are there students from Yan University, but also students from major universities in Yanjing and literary lovers in society who have come here. Even the aisles are crowded with people and crowds.

On the rostrum, the white-haired Tao father made a guest appearance as the host today.

Yan Da invited him to be the host, naturally because of his relationship with Lin Chaoyang's father-in-law and son-in-law.

Tao's father was wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit and his hair was meticulously combed. It can be seen that the old man attached great importance to today's conference.

He has participated in many academic seminars in his life, but he has never been more excited than he is now.

"His words are the carving knife of the times, cutting through the fog and reaching people's hearts-"

At any award ceremony or award venue, I always like to write a praise for those who are about to appear on stage.

Tao's father's voice was thick and slightly turbid phlegm sound. The praise he read was written by several professors from Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association, and it is well-known.

While he was reading this passage, someone had already raised the books in the audience.

"The Death of Van Gogh", "The World of Truman", "The Legend of the Boat", "The Breakthrough of the Kanto", "Parasite", "Entering the Master"

The books were held high, and the pages were yellowed, as if they were silently paying tribute.

Seeing this scene, not only Tao’s father on the stage was so excited that his voice trembled, but even the students and literary enthusiasts below were in a state of excitement.

"I announce that the Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association is officially established today!"

Thunderous applause came from the audience, showing the students' high recognition and love for Lin Chaoyang.

"Comrade Chaoyang is on stage and gives us a speech!"

Lin Chaoyang was invited to speak on stage, and his heart was filled with indescribable touch. This feeling was something he had never had before when the Literary Research Association of Japan and the United States was established.

"".——The charm of literature lies in the fact that it is like roads, bridges, and every mountain,

Plains and basins are closely linked, and they carry our history, culture and emotions.

As a writer, I always believe that words are not only tools to record the times, but also keys to hit the soul.

The establishment of the Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association is an honor for me, but I think its more important role is to provide some small help to those latecomers in studying China in this era—"

Lin Chaoyang's speech was not long, and his words were sincere and sincere, winning the long-lasting applause like a tide. These applauses were not only congratulations to him, but also commendations to him for his continuous writing over the years.

The students in the audience shouted one after another, and the books that symbolized the readers' favorite were thrown into the air by the students and spread in the lecture hall like heavy rain.

After the speech, Hong Zicheng accepted Lin Chaoyang’s gift on behalf of the Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association.

Lin Chaoyang brought out a box of yellowed manuscripts and handed them to Hong Zicheng solemnly. The edges of the manuscripts were curled, and the ink traces were different ink.

Hong Zicheng identified the words "The Story of Crossing the Boat" and "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes". One or two pages of manuscript scattered in the corner were filled with dense text.

These are manuscripts that Lin Chaoyang has accumulated over the years. For his support in the audience, it is nothing like a rare treasure. Many students caught their necks and looked up at the stage, their eyes full of desire.

After the donation ceremony, Lin Chaoyang walked off the stage and sat back on his seat. Tao Yushu couldn't help but hug his arm and looked proud.

At this time, the curtain on the rostrum of the lecture hall was falling, and the students below heard metaphors. Everyone thought the founding conference would have ended just now, but the host did not announce it, but instead put the curtain on it.

Just when everyone was confused, a report officer walked up from the side of the stage:

Please enjoy the drama "Down the First Floor" below.

As soon as these words came out, the buzzing sound in the venue suddenly burst out. Everyone did not expect that today's founding conference would have even arranged a performance, and it was a drama.

"The First Floor in the World"!

Some of the young students present had never heard of this drama, some had heard of it, but had never watched it.

Only those professors, teachers and older literature enthusiasts understand the glory created by this drama back then.

This is exactly the drama Lin Chaoyang wrote for the student drama club of Yan Normal University. Once performed, it caused a sensation in the Yanjing university community and attracted countless college students to watch it.

Later, he was even more popular with the People's Art Theater and moved it to the stage of the Capital Theater, becoming one of the few works that the People's Art Theater has since the 1980s. Every time he performs, he will be hard to get a ticket.

After that, "The First Floor in the World" was performed on the student drama stage of Yan Normal University for several years. It was not until the 1985 that the drama of Yanjing universities cooled down and gradually became forgotten by the students of Yanjing universities.

In recent years, apart from some students who love dramas, few students have known about this drama.

The buzzing lasted for more than ten seconds, and a female narration came from the stage sound.

"In the summer of 1917, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, under the call of the people that "the imperial system must be done, and the people want the old master", was protected by Zhang Xun, the coach of the Qing Dynasty, and then served as a treasure.

The old and young men inside and outside the Forbidden City suddenly became excited like chicken blood, and they churned out their court clothes that had been pressed at the bottom of the box for many years, put on real and fake braids, and the ancestors ran all over the streets.

As the female voice was next to the stage, the curtain on the stage slowly opened, and the students below gradually became quiet.

Under Zhengyang Gate, the market is prosperous and gathers the essence of the capital.

The time-honored brand "Fujude" opens its doors to welcome customers and has a prosperous business.

There are three plaques hanging side by side on the middle of the door, namely "Fujude", "Chicken and Duck Shop", and "Old Fu Shu".

The apprentice, who plays the apprentice, sat in front of the large wooden basin in the front hall, plucking duck feathers with their hands and feet. A row of wooden shelves were hanging well along the wall. The ducks were blown up and smeared with sugar.

On the right side of the front hall is the century-old oven in Fujude. The red bricks are on the floor and the fire is always burning.

There is a couplet at the entrance of the furnace: The gold furnace has been fired for thousands of years, and the silver hook is always hung with fresh flavors.

The sound of gongs and drums from the teahouse were faintly heard on the "street" outside the stage, and there were sometimes jokes and rock-scissors.

Luo Datou holds a baking rod and hangs the baked duck on it.

"The ducks in the three seats are out!"

Han Shanxu, the veteran actor of the People's Art Theater, was the original actor of Luo Datou. In today's play, he is still Luo Datou.

"My mouth~ This is to invite all the stars of the People's Art Theater!"

A teacher in the audience who likes to watch dramas recognized Han Shanxu at a glance. He just exclaimed that Lin Liankun, who played Chang Gui on the Pawn Hall, also appeared on the stage.

"Three seats, go duck!"

A simple line is full of energy and runs through the entire lecture hall. Even the students in the last row can hear it clearly. This is the skill of the old actor.

Han Shanxu, Lin Liankun, Tan Zongyao, Lu Zhong, Feng Yuanzheng, Yang Lixin...

On the stage, various characters from Qianmen Roushikou Fujudene appeared in the stage.

Under the stage, the audience was counting the stars.

Even audiences who have never watched "The First Floor in the World" or dramas can't help but immerse themselves in the face of the country's top drama actors and the stories they interpret.

The audience does not understand drama, but the audience has feelings. Good art can be felt by everyone.

The atmosphere of the times that comes to mind, the vivid and lively character creation, and the ups and downs of the storyline. "The First Floor in the World" has all the elements that all classic dramas should have.

The three-act drama, which lasted for three hours, was completed by the actors on stage in one go, and the audiences in the audience were also enjoying themselves.

At the end of the curtain call, the applause in the lecture hall was thunderous and lasting forever.

When the actors finished their curtain call, the playwright Lin Chaoyang was invited. He was surrounded by a group of actors, and the applause from the audience became even more lively.

In the end, the audience's enthusiasm was finally released completely and the curtain call was over.

At this point, the founding meeting of the Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association was declared over.

After the show ended, Lin Chaoyang went backstage to express his gratitude to the actors of the People's Art Theater. He really didn't expect that there would be such a performance today.

When I asked, I realized that these were all arranged by Tao Yushu.

"I think this time I founded the Literary Research Association in my own country, but it is different from abroad.

On a whim, I asked someone to say hello to Renyi, but unexpectedly, Dean Liu cooperated very much."

Tao Yushu said a few words to Lin Chaoyang, and expressed his gratitude to Liu Jinyun, the current dean of the People's Art Theater.

"Mr. Tao, you are so kind. "The First Floor in the World" is Comrade Chaoyang's only work in the field of drama.

It is also one of the few fine repertoires of our People's Art Theater since the 1980s.

It has been widely praised since the day of the performance, and has won countless honors and applause for our People's Art Theater.

As Comrade Chaoyang’s literary research association was established, our performance was considered to be a thank you to Comrade Chaoyang.”
