In the year of 1995, many great events happened in the film and television circle.

In that year, two goddesses, Teresa Teng and Zhang Ailing, passed away, while Wang Feng, Wang Leehom and A Mei made their debut in unison.

On the stage of the Spring Festival Evening, Zhao Benshan, the "sketch king", appeared for the first time. Among the film circles, A Chinese Odyssey by Master Xing began to be popular in the mainland.

At the same time, a TV series with the theme of educated youth was also sought after by thousands of people in that year. In the past 26 years, it has been firmly on the list of high-scoring TV series in Douban and has become a classic memory of a generation-karma.

"karma" is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Ye Xin, and tells the story of five children who went to Shanghai from Xishuangbanna to find their biological parents, revealing a bloody past when educated youth went to the countryside.

This drama was first broadcast in Shanghai TV Station in Shanghai dialect, which achieved an ultra-high audience rating of 42.62% and set the precedent for two episodes of evening TV series.

At that time, the audience was very enthusiastic about karma. Even during the broadcast, the TV station had to choose to stop broadcasting the drama for one day because of the "Stars Love Concert" program. Some viewers who were eager to see the update of karma called the TV station and demanded that it would be okay if it was broadcast that night.

At the same time, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was broadcast at the same time, was once reduced from 15% to 8.6% under the impact of karma.

why does this play have such charm?

firstly, this drama has a strong symbol of "educated youth", reflecting the joys and sorrows of a generation, and many plots in the drama reflect the confusion and desire of a group of people.

At that time, Ba Jin, who was 94 years old, sighed every time after reading the update of Karma, "This is the life of a generation that has passed", which shows the depth of the play.

Secondly, the excavation of human nature in karma.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Xin, the original author and screenwriter of this drama, once lived as an intellectual youth for ten years.

On the day he left the countryside, he met a Shanghai educated youth who married a local farmer. According to the policy at that time, she could not return to the city.

When Ye Xin looked at the smiling educated youth holding the child, she asked, "What will you do?".

The next second, the female educated youth's face suddenly fell silent and didn't say anything.

Later, Ye Xin learned many similar stories one after another, which led to the novel karma.

Today, Pigou won't talk about the plot with you, but talk about the main creators in the play. How are they doing now after 26 years?

1. Zhao Youliang (played by Shen Ruochen)

Zhao Youliang plays Shen Ruochen in the play. When she jumped the queue in Xishuangbanna, she married Wei Qiuyue, a local Dai woman, and gave birth to her daughter, Shen Meixia.

After returning to Shanghai, he became the editor of the magazine "Legal System and Life" and married Mei Yunqing.

But when his daughter came, he was in trouble with her and his current wife.

It is also such an image of a "Shanghai man", which makes the audience feel more cordial to it.

This drama is also the first TV drama starring Zhao Youliang.

After graduating from Shanghai Theatre Academy in 1966, he has been engaged in theatrical performances. In 1987, he became famous for his role as Qu Qiubai in Death of Autumn White.

After that, he appeared in many classic TV dramas, such as The Battle of Taking Children, 21 Days, Secret Order 1949, College Entrance Examination 1977, Blue Bones and so on.

After more than 41 years of debut, Zhao Youliang once said that it is his lifelong pursuit to devote himself to art, and it is also because the role really touches his soul.

such an old joker is really admirable.

Now 77 years old, he has returned to his family and enjoyed his old age. He has rarely appeared in film and television works.

2. Yan Xiaopin (played by Mei Yunqing)

As a stepmother, Mei Yunqing was very unpopular with the audience from the beginning.

But to be fair, she has a very good family environment since she was a child, and she is also the sales backbone in the unit, with a strong bone.

facing maiha's arrival, her rejection is normal.

But after all, it was her kindness. After some twists and turns, she finally chose to accept it and make up with Meixia.

Yan Xiaopin, who plays Mei Yunqing, was also a famous goddess in the 1981s. After being admitted to Beijing Film, she participated in the TV series "Jinyinwan" when she was a student.

However, during her career rise, she gave up her career for her boyfriend Zeng Hai.

in 1988, after their low-key marriage, they went to America.

In 1993, during the casting of Peking Man in new york, director Zheng Xiaolong took a fancy to Yan Xiaopin who came to visit Jiang Wenban and invited her to play the role of Guo Yan in the play.

With this drama, Yan Xiaopin became popular and returned to the film and television circle.

In 1995, "karma" was launched, and Yan Xiaopin's career climbed to the peak with the dramatic ratings.

Since then, she has appeared in many hit dramas, such as The Road Up to the Sky, Camellia, Falling Flowers Season and so on.

In 2111, her husband Zeng Hai returned to China, and the couple ended their years of international separation. During this period, Yan Xiaopin also gave birth to two sons, and their married life was very happy.

at the age of 56, she is still active in the film and television circle, and she has many works.

This year alone, there are two dramas, The Ideal Life of Love and Heart as Beautiful as Jade. To be reasonable, her temperament is still very good, and she has a quiet aesthetic feeling.

3. Jin Xin (played by Liang Mancheng)

Jin Xin plays the family man Liang Mancheng in karma.

As an aspiring young man, he wanted to start a career after returning to Shanghai, but in reality, he was assigned to a cinema as a projectionist.

Although he had a dream in his heart, the cruelty of reality and weakness of character made him compromise. After all, the whole family was crowded into a house only 8 square meters, and the arrival of his son Liang Sifan made the family's life even worse.

Jin Xin, who graduated in 1977, has been assigned to Shanghai People's Art Theatre as a drama actor for 44 years.

As an old opera bone, he has many works.

As early as 1981, he won the title of "Best Actor in August 1st Film Studio in 1981" for his feature film Long Road.

Although it didn't become popular later, his works have become the memory of a generation, such as Cuckoo for Spring, The Sound of the Suona Blowing by the Wind, Red Bean in the Northland and so on.

After this drama, he didn't appear in film and television works for more than ten years, but focused on drama performances. It was not until 2117 that he reappeared in the audience's sight, and most of his works were drama-oriented, such as blue bloods, The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic and so on.

apart from his career, his marriage is still very happy.

His wife is Huang Meiying, one of the earliest actresses in China, who once played Wang Yaru, the elder sister of the man in Desire.

The two are brothers and sisters, and they got married in 1981.

During their 41-year marriage, they have always loved each other as before, and they are recognized as a model couple in the entertainment circle.

It is worth mentioning that their son, Jin Mingyan, is now a young director. He once made a film about slums in India and won the Golden Seed Award. His future is still very good.

4. Wu Mian (as Ling Shanshan)

Wu Mian plays Ling Shanshan, who works in a factory.

I believe that in the eyes of many people, she is a good wife and mother of China.

Although she is a little aggressive or even strong in life, she treats her husband and children with great care.

Even the stepson Liang Sifan knows that Aunt Shanshan is very kind.

Wu Mian was born in Shanghai. She was admitted to Shanghai Theatre Academy in 1977, and fell in love with her classmates. After graduation, she married Plateau and entered Harbin Repertory Theatre.

in 1981, he appeared in his first work, July Fire. In 1989, she starred in Hanzheng Street and won the Flying Award for Best Actress. In 1991, he starred in the family ethical emotional drama Tianya Qing. In 1992, she won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actress for the role of Jin Guihua in The Shanghai Family. < P > She has been in the film industry for nearly 41 years, but her career has been steadily rising and she has been active in the film and television industry. This year, two works, Jin Xin Si Yu, and 8191, came out.

interestingly, in karma, there is another actress named Wu Jing. They have many similarities. Not only were they both born in Shanghai in the 1951s, but their roles are also very similar, even their looks are very similar. No wonder many people can't tell them apart.

5. Tu Ruying (played by Yu Leyin)

Compared with the previous ones, Yu Leyin played by Tu Ruying is a bit miserable.

because I gave birth to a child with a local man when I jumped the queue in Xishuangbanna, I returned to Shanghai and re-entered the marriage, which was not welcomed by my husband's family.

Although she is the wife of a self-employed boss and lives a carefree life, in fact, she can't get her husband's love and can't bear the responsibility as a mother.

is a miserable woman!

In the 1981s, Tu Ruying was a famous actress.

After graduating from high school, she worked in literature and art at Dongfanghong Farm in Chongming Island. At that time, the literature and art propaganda team here was very powerful, and Pan Hong, Huang Meiying and other movie stars went out from here.

Since 1981, Tu Ruying has been seconded to Xi 'an Film Studio to perform films, starring in many famous films, such as Awakening, Sowing the Happy Man, Spark of the Mind and so on.

In the 1991s, she was transferred to Shanghai TV Station and participated in many TV dramas.

after this karma, she starred in San Mao's Wandering, but after that, she chose to take a rest and disappeared into the public eye, which is really a pity.

6. Chi Huaqiong (played by Ma Yumin)

Ma Yumin in karma is definitely a representative of "rebellion".

The manner and maturity of "Little Sister" surprised the audience very much, especially in the part where Yu Leyin went to "catch the rape", which made the young and provocative energy vivid.

In fact, Chi Huaqiong was totally directed at the director. Although she was only a "little sister", she finally acted with her heart.

before filming karma, Chi Huaqiong had already attracted the attention of many directors because of his role in sixteen-year-old flower season.

after the filming of karma, she was attracted by the cast of Liu Hulan because of her outstanding performance as Rong Fang in Commitment.

In 1996, "Liu Hulan" appeared on the big screen, and Chi Huaqiong ushered in the peak of his career with this role, and later appeared in many films such as Meet in the Rain.

However, with the middle age, she gradually faded out of the film and television circle. In 2113, she published her first book, Out of the Sixteen-year-old Flower Season.

Compared with the smooth progress of her career, her feelings seem a little bumpy.

In her early years, she talked about a young man in Beijing, but this relationship lasted only nine months, and she was separated because of her incompatible personality.

Now she is 46 years old, and her feelings are a mystery.

7. Dong Rongrong (played by Shen Meixia)

Shen Meixia in karma is a stubborn girl.

After her biological mother died, she came to Shanghai to find her father. In the process of getting along, she was ridiculed and coldly received, but she was finally recognized by her father and her relatives.

She was already a child star when this drama was filmed, and she once played the teenager "Brigitte Lin" in Six Fingers.

She is the youngest actress in karma, but she rehearses for more than ten hours every day, and there is no shortage of half a point.

So she acted so well that when karma was broadcast, she walked into the street and was recognized by the audience. The other party also said, "If they don't want you, I will take you back."
