Plot evaluation of The Road to Life:
The Road to Life depicts the protagonist's life extension line from the narrative level, and provides a "Shanghai plan" for his life trajectory rooted in China context. The play not only continues to describe the protagonist's struggle in Shanghai by narrative expansion, but also responds to the confusion and confusion of his youth. After more than 40 years, the protagonist's growth narrative is restated with the feelings of the times.
On the basis of retaining the spiritual core of the original work, The Road to Life gives full play to the artistic characteristics and aesthetic advantages of TV series, continues to write the fate of the main characters in line with the characters' personality and the logic of the development of the times, and expands the vast space for ideological discovery and aesthetic creation from novellas to long TV series.
