After reading "Mountains and Seas", do you think the story told in it is true?

I think it is true. In the TV series "Mountains and Seas", do the people whose ancestors lived in the Gushan District of Xihai, Ningxia speak Ningxia dialect or Shaanxi dialect? Ningxia dialect belongs to the northern dialect system and can be divided into two major regions: the northern Sichuan area and the southern mountainous area.

The Sichuan dialect in the northern part of Ningxia belongs to the Yinchuan and Yinwu dialects of Lanyin Mandarin, while the southern mountain dialect belongs to the Qinlong Guanzhong dialect of the Central Plains Mandarin.

The environment in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia was like this around 1991, and it did receive a lot of government support, and the entrepreneurship of outsiders gradually developed better and better.

The plot in "Mountains and Seas" is adapted from a true story. There are many plots and numerous examples can be found in our lives. Let me give you an example

Just like the incident in the first episode with four boys and one girl climbing a train and running up a mountain, it has happened to me more than a dozen times. Among these people, my fourth uncle is my relative, and several distant brothers are a little further away. There are also four or five people on the other side of the ditch, and four or five people on Huangcha behind the mountain. Needless to say about the distant ones.

However, this is a TV series after all, and it is impossible not to artistically process the story.

I don’t know how many people have heard of “going to the northwest to support education” or “helping the construction of the northwest.” There have been many policies in the past few years, and each one is for better development. The scenes in the play are also very real. Sandstorms are indeed something I often experienced when I was a child. On windy days, garbage bags on the ground will spiral up and fly in the air. The sky is full of yellow sand, and the weather is all yellow, and the current haze. It's a bit similar, except that the haze is a bit grayer, and the sky during sandstorms is light yellow because small particles of sand are flying in the sky. Let me give you another example -

There is no Haiji County in Ningxia, so why are all these people in "Mountains and Seas" from Haiji County? This is artistic processing. Ningxia does not have Haiji County, but there are Haiyuan County and Xiji County. The Diaozhuang immigrants in Minning Town mainly come from Xiji County and Haiyuan County, so after some processing, Haiji County will come out.

So, the stories in "Mountains and Seas" are really vivid to us relocated households. However, each family member encountered different problems and had different feelings at that time.

My father has a friend who was the first person to come to Minning Town. I always think about returning. At that time, although our family had not yet moved, my father was often outside and could see the future. Five or six years ago, my dad's friend came to my house. He was really rich and drove aggressively. Each of his two sons bought a semi-trailer, which he paid full price for! Finally, a summary

To be honest, if it weren’t for this TV series, many people might not think back on that experience deliberately. People like me, who went to school for a few years and then moved abroad, actually cherish that period of history very much.

In addition, in order to be more realistic in the whole drama "Mountains and Seas", all the actors used dialects when performing, which is also very true.

People in my hometown really don’t speak Mandarin, especially those in villages or towns, and they don’t usually use it. Later, the popularity of Mandarin was due to the popularity of television. Every household watched television, which slowed down the spread of Mandarin. I slowly understood Mandarin, but it was still difficult to speak it. Various Mandarin Chinese mixed with local flavor, such as Shaanxi Mandarin, came from this way.

So the dialect version of "Mountains and Seas" can be said to be very careful and comprehensive.
