Politics and Spring Festival Gala
Hong Minsheng, who studied calligraphy at home after retirement, is still concerned about the Spring Festival Evening. He likes to watch other people's good shots.
Playing Poker, 1994 and Hou's sketch, is Hong Minsheng's favorite language program in the past 30 years, which satirizes the big officials over the small ones.
"The irony of reality is the vitality of comic sketches". Hong Minsheng has put forward requirements for the general director of every Spring Festival Evening in ten years, and at least two language programs are critical of the current situation every year. "Can you go through the five levels and see the ability and essence of sloppy eyes, but it is the responsibility and conscience to do it or not."
But gradually, Hong Minsheng saw fewer and fewer programs that made him feel happy. The stage is getting more and more beautiful year by year, but the program has only changed its form year by year, but its content has not improved. "Especially in the last five years, the road is wrong, and the people are still suffering, but they have been singing Somdetphra's ass in the Spring Festival Evening."
After retirement, Hong Minsheng developed a habit of going to the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Evening every year and giving some advice. One year, Hong Minsheng called the general director: "The sameness is grand. This kind of thinking must be changed, and the people need reality."
The general director said helplessly: "Mr. Hong, the above is less courageous than us. We want to rush over. "
Hong Minsheng knew the pressure of the general directors and stopped giving them advice later. "The directors are like a mirror in their hearts, and my opinions make them very embarrassed."
A few years ago, Taiwan Province organized cadres to travel to Wutai Mountain. In the temple, young people and old people all knelt down, kneeling devoutly to the ground, still mumbling. Hong Minsheng became the only person standing and froze for a moment.
"All the people kneeling in front of the Buddha are party member. After praising the great motherland, they found that they had no faith at all, "said Hong Minsheng.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered a trip to Japan before retiring. The first thing he did was to ask his peers to invite Teresa Teng to sing in China. Teresa Teng said, I don't want to come, because she has a Kuomintang background.
At that time, Hong Minsheng vowed to tell his peers that the current political atmosphere was open and that one day Teresa Teng could return to China and take the stage. But he never imagined that Teresa Teng was not allowed to perform in Chinese mainland all his life.
Talking about today's Spring Festival Evening, Hong Minsheng will be sentimental about the past. He and his TV colleagues spent more than ten years opening the cracks bit by bit, but only closed them in an instant.
In the era of Hong Minsheng, the pursuit of Spring Festival Evening is a hundred flowers, while the belief of TV people is a hundred schools of thought contend.
