Release time:May 11, 2024 15:59 PM

"I didn't expect "Huang Baomei" to be so well-scheduled. I was very excited after watching it. The people of Shanghai have not forgotten the textile workers. I am just one of their representatives. I hope everyone will know what Shanghai's textile workers are like through this drama." May 9 On the same day, at the Shanghai Opera "Huang Baomei" creation and the Wenhui Shanghai Opera Troupe's artistic exploration expert seminar, the 93-year-old national model worker and July 1 Medal winner Huang Baomei's words aroused applause from the audience.

Huang Baomei is very busy these days. On May 7, Shanghai Wenhui Shanghai Opera Troupe's original Shanghai opera "Huang Baomei" appeared at the Hongqiao Art Center, kicking off the 12th Shanghai Outstanding Private Troupe Performance. Before the performance, Huang Baomei gave a party class to the crew and members of the Shanghai Private Theater Troupe.

The Shanghai Opera "Huang Baomei" combines images and drama, starting with Huang Baomei entering a factory as a worker. Huang Baomei’s party class started with a comparison of the past and present. When she was less than 14 years old, she went to work at Yufeng Cotton Factory, which was still Japanese at the time. She got up at 4 a.m. every morning. “The day shift for female workers in the factory was from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the night shift was from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning. get off work."

After Shanghai was liberated, workers became masters and their enthusiasm for production grew day by day. Huang Baomei explored "single-line tours, double-sided care, and no turning back", which saved manpower and allowed machines to run 24 hours a day, greatly improving production efficiency. The Shanghai Opera "Huang Baomei" also recorded this experience.

""Huang Baomei" is light and easy, showing Huang Baomei's various shining stages. The expression is simple, but behind it is a noble and great spirit. Huang Baomei's simple ideal is that everyone has clothes to wear and insists on doing one thing well in life." Playwright Luo Huaizhen said in Speaking bluntly at the seminar, "Some current works create artificial contradictions between lofty ideals and normal human nature, such as an elderly family member who is sick, or a wife who has a difficult delivery and needs panda blood, or a child who fails the college entrance examination and takes revenge on the parents." Shanghai Opera "Huang Baomei" jumped away Overcoming these stereotypes, Huang Baomei's own light-weight temperament has also become the temperament of the work. "

Critic Yang Zi feels the same way. He said that the Shanghai Opera "Huang Baomei" uses real emotions to create a space for dialogue with the audience, and uses life-like scenes to moisturize things and silently convey Huang Baomei's spiritual height.

In November 1952, 21-year-old Huang Baomei joined the Communist Party of China with honor. From then on, Huang Baomei made up her mind to serve the people all her life and become a female textile worker. She has worked at the 17th National Cotton Factory in Shanghai for 42 years. In 1953, New China implemented its first Five-Year Plan. This year, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions selected national model workers for the first time, and 22-year-old Huang Baomei was selected. In 1958, director Xie Jin shot the documentary film "Huang Baomei", which used a screenwriter's search for Huang Baomei as a clue to tell the story of Huang Baomei's group at the No. 17 National Cotton Factory learning from Hao Jianxiu's advanced experience.

It is worth mentioning that Huang Baomei does not want to be an actress, nor does she want to sit in an office. She loved working with the loom. After retiring in 1986, Huang Baomei made suggestions for opening textile factories in Qidong, Jiangsu, Xinjiang and other places. She was deeply impressed by her experience in Shandong. "At that time, it cost 15 yuan a night to stay in a hotel in Qingdao and 4 yuan in a guest house. I chose to stay in a guest house that cost 4 yuan to save money for the company. Communist Party members must serve the people wholeheartedly and put others before themselves. , I remember this sentence firmly.”

Critic Liu Wenguo said that the Shanghai Opera "Huang Baomei" realized the transformation from the life of a model worker to the life of a drama through the artistic presentation of the main theme, allowing the audience to see the feelings of family and country as well as ideals and beliefs. In the play, the details of spinning threads turning into gauze curtains are particularly smart. . Critic Rong Guangrun said that Huang Baomei loves life and is full of energy. She is not the model worker in people's impression, which also brings a relaxed temperament to the play.

The Shanghai Performance Industry Association awarded Huang Baomei the honorary nameplate "Forever Textile Goddess". Miao Peihong, deputy director of Wenhuihu Opera Troupe, played the role of Huang Baomei from the young girl until her retirement. "I received spiritual baptism in the process of playing Huang Baomei. I have submitted an application for party membership to the Municipal Performance Industry Association. I learned from Teacher Huang Baomei and met the requirements of party membership standards." Self, lead by example, put others before yourself.”

According to critic Shen Weimin, Huang Baomei, as an outstanding representative of Shanghai workers, presents the true urban background of Shanghai through Shanghai Opera. "Bringing outstanding workers' representatives to the stage reflects the vision and perseverance of Wenhuihu Opera Troupe. Since its establishment in 2010, Wenhuihu Opera Troupe has successively released "Stay Together", "Tenderness in White", "Green Island Love Song", "Where the Heart Goes" and "Early Spring" Original dramas such as "Huang Baomei" lead Shanghai private theaters in drama creation, classic inheritance, talent training, and performance audiences."

""Huang Baomei" promotes the down-to-earth screw spirit, serious dedication, and the stage vocabulary is simple and connotative." Critic Dai Ping said that there are many works like "Huang Baomei" that will be performed by Shanghai's outstanding private theater groups this year. Shao said, "In the past, only small plays were registered for the exhibition. Now there are more than 100 registered works and a bumper harvest of creations. We are very happy."

"Shanghai's private theater troupes are not a few small sampans tied together, but large ships with their own strengths. With the ups and downs of the market, they have the ability to avoid risks and have unique wisdom and judgment." President of the Municipal Performance Industry Association Convener Wei Zhi’s words were resounding, “Private troupes don’t just need to survive, but how to live better. The performance has set standards, and creators who are capable and demanding are brave enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility. ‘Huang Baomei’ is staged on stage. There are also directors of the academy like 'Huang Baomei', who are dedicated and diligent in reporting to the audience with their works."
