Starting at a very young age, I Established Furnitech Seating Systems (I) Pvt, Ltd in 1998 which has been the largest manufacturer of upholstered furniture in the country. Don't look back.I Pursued Business Management and have been an Entrepreneur for the last 20+ years. Such an approach is evident at the end of the series, when an elderly Wang Xiang tells his younger self: "Look forward. They may feel lost when their jobs disappear, but they always strive to find their own way forward. Northeasterners once took pride in being workers making contributions to the nation's construction. Instead, it stems from their positive attitude toward life, in which they use optimism in the face of adversity. The humor of northeasterners is not always reflected in the jokes or popular sketches used for the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Netizens have commented that the series is based on local people's lives in the northeast, and what touched me most was that it highlights their optimistic spirit. We northeasterners celebrate the snow, as we believe that the harder it falls, the better the harvest will be in the coming year. However, in The Long Season, Xin, who was born in Jilin province, uses snow to denote hope and an end to the autumn. Snow is frequently mentioned in books and films about the northeast, and is often linked to cold and sorrow. These adaptations give audiences a detailed picture of life in the northeast over the past 30 years. In contrast to traditional writers, the three have found a good balance between literary and commercial interests, gaining recognition from prestigious literary journals such as Harvest, and seeing many adaptations of their works produced for films and TV. Ban, Zheng Zhi and Shuang Xuetao, also writers from Shenyang, are three representatives of the Northeastern Literary Renaissance in China. I particularly enjoyed the poem in the series written by Ban Yu, who comes from Shenyang. Xin Shuang, director of The Long Season, breaks such stereotypes by using 11 episodes of the 12-episode series to depict autumn in the northeast, which is bright and invigorating - but too short for shooting a film or TV series.Īs a result, the drama was filmed in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province in southwestern China, which enjoys considerably higher temperatures than the northeast. Several stereotypes have emerged for people from the northeast, linking them to humor, gangs, poverty and the region's long winters. I feel that my mother and aunts must have been just as charming when they were in their 20s. In the series, Huang is a stunning lady in 1997, wearing a floral dress and red high heels, with a bright smile on her face. The appearance of Huang Liru, Gong Biao's wife, with her permed hair, eyeliners and tattooed eyebrows, resembles that of aged aunts in the northeast. On the other hand, Fan Wei's character is like my father's elder brother, who never panics and can fix almost anything. Qin Hao's character is similar to my mother's younger brother, who is warmhearted and always cheerful, but sometimes a little unreliable. Watching their aged appearance and daily conversations in the show, I felt a strong sense of familiarity. I was born and raised in Shenyang, capital of Liaoning, a province once known as "the eldest son of the People's Republic of China".įan Wei and Qin Hao, who play the lead roles of Wang Xiang and Gong Biao in the drama, are also from Shenyang. It offered me a glimpse of what my parents were like when they were young. The suspense drama The Long Season depicts the vibrant lives of people in Northeast China from 1997 to 2016, particularly those of my parents' generation. I don't remember the last time a television series left me so deeply immersed in the fates of its characters.
