Recently, the TV drama "Small Alley Family" has been popular. The drama tells the story of two families living in a small alley in the family area of Suzhou Cotton Mill in the late 1970s. It provides a realistic and delicate portrayal of the social landscape at that time, as well as a vivid representation of the characters' struggle and growth in the tide of the times, which resonates deeply with the audience. Reflecting the spirit of the times, recording the changes of the times, and showcasing the style of the times and people's lives are important missions of film and television workers. In recent years, a number of realistic era dramas such as "The Alley People" have repeatedly appeared on the screen, triggering widespread praise, such as "Qiao Family's Children", "The Glory of Our Fathers", "Traveling South and North", "The Sea in Our Dreams", etc. Together, they spread out a colorful picture of the times, conveying the indomitable spirit of Chinese people from generation to generation in the changing years, reflecting the development process of contemporary Chinese society in a long story time span, and bringing the audience a good aesthetic experience with excellent production. The spirit of struggle is never an abstract slogan or a simple definition. We endow it with rich connotations through enthusiastic practice and creation. How to interpret the rich connotation of the spirit of struggle, so that it is not limited to a single appearance and can resonate with the thoughts and emotions of the audience, is a difficult problem that creators need to solve. The struggle under family responsibility bears the obvious cultural imprint of the Chinese people. In addition to taking on family responsibilities, the individual's struggle driven by dreams has also become an important part of the spirit of struggle. In the TV drama "The Alley", parents work hard and persevere for the growth of their children and the livelihood of the family, striving for the happiness of the family. In the TV drama 'Qiao Family's Children', the Qiao family has five children. The eldest brother, Qiao Yicheng, who is like a father, bravely takes on the heavy burden in the face of family changes and works tirelessly for a better life and future for his younger siblings. This spirit of striving for the family reflects the Chinese people's deep protection and responsibility for their family. Under the wave of reform and opening up, the young people in the TV play "The Sea in a Dream" bravely move forward with their own dreams. This dream driven struggle is a true portrayal of the spirit of contemporary Chinese people. Realistic era dramas not only need to provide rich and credible interpretations of the spirit of struggle, but also need to extract the characteristics of the era and record the changes of the times. Many creations place the story in the context of more than 40 years of reform and opening up, observing the development and progress of the economy and society. The characters in the drama are both participants and witnesses of the times, presenting industry changes and character struggles from a unique perspective. For example, in the TV drama "Southbound", the rapid development of China's railways is depicted, from steam locomotives to high-speed trains; The TV drama 'The Glory of Our Fathers' showcases the profound transformation of China's forestry industry from traditional logging to ecological protection, and so on. These dramas, in their exhibition of the development of social industries, deeply demonstrate the enormous changes in Chinese society through the intergenerational continuity of the characters in the stories. The reason why excellent realistic era dramas are considered to have high artistic value is also related to their creation of the texture of the era. One of the distinctive manifestations of the texture of the era is the authentic restoration of the historical scene. In terms of scene arrangement and visual presentation, creators often carefully restore the different characteristics of each era based on the different times when the story takes place. They pay attention to details and put effort into building styles, clothing props, and creating atmospheres in the streets and alleys, making the audience feel as if they are truly immersed in that era. For example, in the TV series' Small Alley Family ', the scene layout is finely crafted. From a larger perspective, the production team found a small alley with distinctive historical features for live action filming. The city outline, architectural style, and other elements all conform to the historical characteristics of the story; From small details, people's daily clothing, daily necessities, transportation tools, and other details also truly showcase the style of that era, creating a strong sense of immersion for audiences who have experienced that era. Young audiences can also learn about their past lives through this. In addition, the texture of the era is also reflected in the three-dimensional shaping of the characters. Stereoscopic shaping not only manifests as the distinct and diverse personalities of the characters, but also as their growth over a longer time span of the story, allowing the audience to clearly see the development trajectory of the characters and deeply feel their vitality, thus making it easier to generate empathy. The age play with realistic themes records a short history, tells the great journey of Chinese people on the way, and shows the magnificent development of contemporary society. It enables the young generation to better understand the hardships and struggles experienced by our family and country, and also enlightens them to cherish the beautiful life at present. The emotional warmth and spiritual strength displayed by these excellent TV series, as well as the spirit of struggle and patriotism that are deeply rooted together, will provide lasting inspiration and nourishment to the audience in front of the screen.
