“Recommending TV dramas and memorable scenes.”

“The Reign of Emperor Yongzheng”, I feel like I could recite it by heart.

I have watched “The Reign of Emperor Kangxi” more than once as well.

As for the recommended series “Towards the Republic” by other users, I sincerely suggest young friends to watch it. It’s quite shocking, although I have only watched it once because it was too overwhelming.

I have watched “Detective Di Renjie” more than once. The portrayal of Empress Wu Zetian is the best, in my opinion. The focus of this drama is not the cases, but the intense relationship between the queen and Huaiying. It’s rare to see a TV series capture the feelings of both appreciation and wariness, with a touch of ambiguity, so well.

I have watched “Iron Teeth Bronze Hair Ji Xiaolan”, “Kangxi’s Private Visits with Disguise”, “Marrying the Wrong Groom by Boarding the Wrong Sedan”, and so on… I watched them repeatedly because at that time, TV was the only option.

Recently, I rewatched a drama called “Falling Star Condenses into Sugar”. The main character is normal, but Princess Qingkui’s character design is simply outstanding, gentle yet powerful.

Lately, I have been rewatching “Lotus Tower” and even spent money on a concert.

The most shocking part for me was Sister Jiao’s performance. Oh my, her flute-playing and acrobatics were so amazing that it startled even the spectators.

“Are you my husband, who plays the role of handsome Qiáo Lìxiāo, or are you a ghost with Li Xiangyi?”

“《庆余年》: A Drama Worth Repeated Watching”

I’ve watched “Joy of Life” at least 10 times!

Do you know to what extent? A certain satellite TV station often re-broadcasts TV dramas such as “Joy of Life” and “Sword Dynasty”. At first, whenever I saw “Joy of Life” was on, whether I was at home or at my mom’s place, I would immediately switch the channel to it.

At first, both my wife and my mom were quite helpless and would say, “How many times have you watched this? Aren’t you tired of it?"

But no matter what they said, I couldn’t hear it. I just loved watching it…

Later on, my wife couldn’t stand it anymore. Every time I played “Joy of Life”, she would come over and fight with me for the remote control… So, I could only secretly watch it…

In my opinion, the most classic scene in this drama is “Teng Zijing’s death”:

Surprisingly, every time I see this scene, it makes my heart ache, especially when Teng Zijing’s wife speaks to Fan Xian after he dies. It really moves me.

I have to say, the most classic characters in this drama are not the male and female leads, but those “dominant supporting roles” such as Wu Zhu, Chen Pingping… - especially the portrayal of Emperor Qing by Chen Daoming, it’s really impressive!

When “Joy of Life 2” is released, I plan to buy a membership to catch the show. I hope the second part won’t disappoint me.

The above is my personal opinion and is for reference only.

The Struggle for Ideals

Dae Jang Geum

The words “dream” and “ideal” are becoming increasingly luxurious.

But I believe that striving and working hard for one’s ideals is the core that one will never regret, and it will never go out of style.

In this regard, I think it surpasses the scale of dramas like “Empresses in the Palace” and “Legend of Ruyi”.

Of course, there are very few Korean dramas that can match the scale of this drama.

The Path to the Republic - Sun Yat-sen’s Final Impactful Speech

Forward to the Republic!

This drama is really well made!

Everyone gives it a round of applause!

The dialogue is absolutely amazing!

Empress Dowager Cixi:

I know what you want to say. Those tricks we just saw were all fake and couldn’t fool me, but those strong and powerful men are real. If we can’t make good use of them, it would be a great loss, like a ferocious beast or a flood! But if we use them well, we’ll have the manpower of hundreds of thousands! If our negotiations with the Westerners really break down and we end up fighting, they will at least be able to deplete the Westerners' ammunition as cannon fodder.

Qu Hongji: But I was wrong! The night is too dark, and moral principles are nothing more than a faint candlelight that can only illuminate a person’s path in front of them, at most pulling someone else along with you! But the candlelight of morality cannot stop the bullets and arrows aimed at us!

Wu Yuding: It’s not the teacher’s fault, it’s the student’s carelessness!

Qu Hongji: No no no, it’s not your fault. Think about it carefully. When we’re competing with King Qing and Yuan Shikai, what cards are they playing and what cards are we playing? We played a card called “rectifying officials and governance.” On the surface, it looks righteous and awe-inspiring. Just yesterday, I finally realized that the Old Buddha doesn’t value this. She doesn’t care about your corruption and bribery, but if you deviate from her principles, then you’re doomed! This is something we haven’t understood all these years! Look at them, playing around, causing trouble, with women and money, but politically always staying on the right side, the place of correctness, that’s true skill!

Yuan Shikai:

This is politics, you can commit crimes, but you can’t make mistakes!

I’ve seen one person after another, but I’ve never seen any people.

Duan Qirui: There have been such things in Chinese history. Yao abdicated the throne to Shun, Shun abdicated the throne to Yu, leaving behind an eternal tale!

Yuan Shikai: Have you seen it?

Duan Qirui: Who can see events that happened thousands of years ago? But it’s written in books!

Yuan Shikai: They’re all tricks played by Confucianists to deceive people!

In the eyes of foreigners, the more chaotic your parliament is, the more they think you’re democratic; if everyone agrees, they see it as a dictatorship.

Comfort women, recently I often compare the Emperor to you, Mr. President… The Emperor’s subordinates are all slaves, while the President’s subordinates are enemies.

Sun Yat-sen:

Sun Wen: Xiao Xiang, do you have children?

Xiao Xiang: Yes, I have a son and several grandchildren.

Sun Wen: Do you want them to go to school?

Xiao Xiang: Of course, they have to go to school.

Sun Wen: Good, if someone tells you that your children don’t know how to read, so they don’t need to go to school, what would you say?

Xiao Xiang: Nonsense, precisely because they don’t know how to read, they must go to school.

Sun Wen: Exactly, so when someone says that the common people have low quality and cannot be granted civil rights, it’s as absurd as saying that children who can’t read don’t need to go to school.

The tide of the world surges on and on, those who follow it prosper, those who go against it perish!

This is a theater dedicated to life and healing, where we can understand the ups and downs we experience in the hustle and bustle of the world. This is not an epic of heroes; this is the farewell of heroes. The brilliance of heroes will eventually fade, while the myriad of mundane fireworks is just beginning.
