【The Eve】

From then on, the film entered a complete narrative stage.

The first story begins.

On October 1, 1949, the eve of the founding of the motherland.

In order to ensure the smooth raising of the national flag at the ceremony, Lin Zhiyuan (played by Huang Bo), the designer and installer of the electric flagpole, raced against time to overcome all difficulties.

A thrilling sleepless night was used to ensure that the founding of the country was “safe and sound”.

And the flag bearer Lao Fang and thousands of staff and people who participated in the ceremony worked together to overcome one problem after another.

Finally, the national flag was ensured to fly smoothly over the square.

The young man stood upright on the high platform with a gun on his back to guard.

In a large enclosed space, there was a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.

Many people wrapped in white clothes walked hurriedly.

The huge cylinder looked very abrupt in the room.

It was obvious that this was a secret research site.

Two big words [Meet] appeared, and the second story began.

In 1964, due to the high confidentiality of the atomic bomb research and development work, colleagues did not know each other’s names.

Gao Yuan (played by Zhang Yi), a scientific researcher on the national defense science and technology front, had not contacted his family for three years.

Later, he left his job due to illness and ran into his former lover Fang Min (played by Ren Suxi) on the bus.

The enthusiastic cheers outside the car and the silent gazes of the two inside the car formed a sharp contrast.

Between the great love of the country and the small love of lovers, that generation of scientific researchers chose the former.

So from then on, there was only meeting, no gathering.

In an ordinary hut, the original youth has entered middle age.

Televisions began to become popular, and he and his neighbors sat together to watch the latest Olympic news.

The women’s volleyball team entered the finals.

[Winning]

August 8, 1984.

The women’s volleyball team rushed towards the championship at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

At the same time in the Shikumen alleys of Magic City.

Dongdong (played by Han Haolin) placed his black and white TV in the middle of the alley.

With stools in the front row, chairs in the middle, and people standing on tiptoes in the back, the neighbors gathered in layers to watch the exciting game.

Dongdong was on the roof, controlling the antenna that needed someone to manually find the signal from time to time.

Whenever the women’s volleyball team scored, the cheers seemed to penetrate the sky.

He passed the joy of winning the championship to everyone in the alley.

The former soldier’s hair had turned gray, but his aura became more heroic.

He was ordered to go to Hong Kong to welcome the [return].

On July 1, 1998, Hong Kong returned to the motherland.

In order to ensure that the national flag flew over Hong Kong without a second’s error, the flag-raiser Zhu Tao (played by Du Jiang) trained hard and never slacked off.

Female Hong Kong police officer Lian Jie (played by Hui Yinghong) worked diligently to keep the peace.

Diplomat An Wenbin (played by Wang Luoyong) negotiated with the English for 16 rounds without giving up a second.

Watchmaker Hua Ge (played by Ren Dahua) uses his superb skills to ensure that the watches of the Chinese and British representatives and the female Hong Kong police are accurate.

Diplomats, honor guard soldiers, Hong Kong police, watchmakers…

They have different identities, but they have a common wish-to raise the national flag on time at 0:00 on July 1.

They do their best in their respective positions, just to ensure that Hong Kong’s return is “not one second late.”

The soldiers have retired, walking on the streets of the imperial capital, watching people coming and going, with a gratified smile.

Many foreign friends set foot on this ancient and rejuvenated land.

[Hello Imperial Capital]

Taxi driver Zhang Didu (played by Ge You) accidentally got a priceless ticket to the opening ceremony of the Imperial Capital Olympics.

Zhang Didu, who was proud and turned on the show-off mode, did not expect to encounter a series of ridiculous storms because of this ticket.

After showing off, he met a Sichuan boy who was eating shaqima in a taxi.

The boy was ignorant of the ways of the world and quietly exchanged Zhang Didu’s ticket for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games for 800 yuan.

But he was not upset, but felt that it was all worth it.

The soldier is older, and the old injury on his foot makes him unable to walk.

He leaned on the wheelchair and listened to the news of the successful launch of Shenzhou 11 on TV.

[Daytime Meteor]

After the confused and downtrodden pair of young wandering brothers, Wardele (played by Liu Haoran) and Hazabu (played by Chen Feiyu), met the retired director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, Lao Li, their lives quietly changed.

Under Lao Li’s kind guidance, they witnessed the major historical moment of the successful landing of Shenzhou 11 spacecraft, and also saw the “Daytime Meteor” in the grassland fable.

His heart was greatly shocked and baptized.

In an auditorium, the soldier sat in a wheelchair in a brand new military uniform with many medals on his chest.

He will participate in the victory parade of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

【Escort】

Lü Xiaoran (played by Song Jia)) is the best female pilot in the Air Force flight team.

Before the military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression on September 3, 2015, she was unexpectedly notified to withdraw from the parade arrangement and be kept as a substitute.

When fighter jets taxied and took off, they pointed their swords at the sky and approached the review.

As a “standby pilot”, Lv Xiaoran not only witnessed this glorious moment, but also completed her mission.

She is the companion of the event and the most powerful escort.

Seven independent stories have been told, but the movie is not over yet.

Time has come to the present.

In an ordinary community in the imperial capital, a young female college student (played by Zhao Jinmai) woke up from the bed in a daze.

Her hair was messy and her clothes were wrinkled.

But with the camera movement and light and shadow, this scene gave people a fresh beauty.

When this scene came out, someone in the audience in the cinema immediately exclaimed: “Wow! Mai Mai is so beautiful, this must be shot by Director Cao.”

It is not only recognized by the industry that Cao An can shoot beautiful women, but also recognized by the whole country and even the world.

So when the audience saw this scene, the familiar beauty of the Cao family appeared, and the audience who had seen Cao An’s movies recognized her instantly.

The camera followed the girl’s perspective and started an ordinary day.

Get up, wash, and change clothes.

At the request of her mother, she took the gift and went out to visit her grandfather.

Along the way, red flags were flying, and pedestrians coming and going were filled with happy smiles.

The simple environment let the audience know that today is National Day, a day of celebration for the whole country.

Everyone chatted about family matters and interesting things from ancient times.

Bought a breakfast and ate while walking to the grandfather’s (played by You Benchang) house.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and the granddaughter pushed the grandfather out and went to the Imperial Capital Martyrs Park.

This section was shot very calmly, without the grandeur, urgency, and twists and turns of the previous stories.

It was plain and ordinary.

Under Cao An’s lens, the lives of ordinary people in the imperial capital were presented to the audience through the perspectives of the grandfather and grandson.

The granddaughter pushed her grandfather to a tombstone with familiarity.

This is the tomb of the grandpa squad leader and his comrades.

Every year, she would bring her grandfather here to let him chat with his old friends.

“Squad leader, the kid is here to see you again.”

Only then did the audience realize that this person was the unknown soldier who had been running through the entire movie.

After talking to the squad leader and comrades about some recent events.

The old man asked his granddaughter who was looking at the phone, “What are you looking at, girl?”

The granddaughter handed the phone to the old man and took a Bluetooth headset from her ear and put it into his ear.

She said, “Grandpa, look, the National Day military parade.”

The live footage of the National Day military parade was playing on the phone.

The old man saw the neat and uniform soldiers and powerful weapons.

Point the phone at the squad leader’s grave and say, “Squad leader, do you see it? This prosperous age is as you wish.”

“I see it.”

[As Wish]

Two red characters that are the same as before appear on the screen, and the audience only know the name of this chapter at this time.

At this time, “As Wish” sung by Wang Fei sounded.

“You are the distant road, the light in the foggy mountains…”

The old man’s memories slowly emerged with the music.

When he was a child, he suffered from hunger and cold, and his relatives were killed by invaders. He joined the army, drove away the invaders, and liberated the country.

The song entered the second stage.

“You are the long river of time, the sky with sparks…”

[Eve], [Meet], [Winning], [Return], [Hello, Imperial Capital], [Daytime Meteor], [Escort].

Scenes from the movie reappeared in front of the audience with music.

Showing the hardships and growth of the motherland.

“… Every day in this prosperous age.”

The song gradually became passionate at this time, and the camera began to focus on the mobile phone in the old man’s hand.

The picture turned to the National Day military parade through the mobile phone screen.

The soldiers were dressed in neat military uniforms, with sonorous and powerful steps, and walked through the viewing platform in an orderly manner, showing the majesty and majesty of the soldiers.

“The mountains and rivers are safe, the fireworks are ordinary, but you look as you wish.”

“Children, sleep peacefully, as you love deeply.”

On the road, the chariots roared and the iron stream rolled.

In the sky, the formation of fighter planes whizzed past, cutting through the sky, leaving colorful smoke.

“And I will dream of the reunion you dream of, and I hope that what you wish will be forever.”

The picture followed the fighter planes in the sky and began to travel across the country.

Ship sailing on the wind and waves, fast-moving trains, and high-speed roaring planes.

Hard-working farmers, skilled workers, carefree and happy students, and playful children.

“Walk the long road you walk, love you like this.”

Plains, mountains, forests, rivers, snow, deserts, oceans.”I will also see the world you have not seen, and write the poems you have not written.”

The camera shuttles across the east, west, south and north of the motherland, and finally arrives at a rocket launch center.

“The moon in the sky, the thoughts in my heart, you are always by my side.”

The rocket is launched, the sight is getting higher and higher, and the full picture of the motherland slowly appears in front of the audience.

Finally arrived at the space station, where extravehicular activities are being carried out.

“Meet you, a clear life, like your young face.”

The heavy helmet cannot see the astronaut’s face clearly, because he represents countless me.

Arriving in space, the astronaut waved the national flag and took a photo with the motherland on the earth.

“I” and “My Motherland”

The movie ends.
