Based on the Qing Dynasty, the play interprets different roles from different angles and shows the images of various groups under the eternal problem of managing the Yellow River. In the fifteenth year of Kangxi, a rainstorm and flood roared, washed away the embankment and flooded the fields. Looking around, Wang Yang was everywhere, and at that time everyone felt insecure. This leads to the eternal theme of the Chinese nation for more than 1000 years: harnessing the Yellow River.
The drama takes "the long river in the world" as the main story line, rooted in the "long river" of history, and tells the story of the inheritance of the cultural spirit of the Yellow River. As the "head of a hundred rivers" and the "Sect of four blasphemies", she is magnificent and rushing forward, which is the river of life that has nurtured thousands of creatures; Her series of nine songs has a long history, bearing the beliefs and cultures of several generations. It represents the fearless spirit of generations fighting against nature.
In the play, Jin Fu was ordered to lead a group of river workers, Li Qi, to fight floods. Even though he was framed, he is still in prison. Huang Chen is frank and frank, claiming to be "born again in Hebo", and measuring the water flow with his own body, truly achieving the goal of "managing the river all his life and finishing the Yellow River" in "Don't forget your initiative". They bravely followed each other and spared no effort to save the world from the flood. The two of them personally went to the upper reaches of the Yellow River for on-the-spot investigation, down-to-earth, facing the long river, and devoted their sincere heart to the great cause of river management, which was touching. In addition, both Kangxi, a sleek and sophisticated pearl, and Jin Zhiyu, the son of Jin Fu, a resolutely self-destructive figure, combined with the narrative of heavy historical background, have exposed human nature to the fullest. The deep connotation of the play is from governing the river to governing the officials and the people, showing the spiritual core of integrity, courage to innovate, dedication and overcoming difficulties.
Looking at today, despite the plot, people with lofty ideals who run for the governance of the Yellow River are still selfless, guarding the mother river and inheriting the spirit of the Yellow River. How to praise the spirit of river management in artistic creation, continue Chinese civilization and tell the story of the times well is also a challenge that literary and art workers need to meet in the new period.
It is rare for "Long River in the World" to break through the tight encirclement in many film and television works, which can be described as a dark horse in this year's costume legend historical drama. With unique conception, meticulous role polishing and excellent texture, it can be called a masterpiece of historical drama with novel angle.
