If there is such a TV series that can influence the whole of Hong Kong for 40 years, then it must be "Under the Lion Rock", and if there is a song that can affect all Hong Kong people, then it is "Under the Lion Rock".

As TVB's "Under the Lion Rock" at the end of 1973, the title song of the same name sung by Luo Wen was broadcast, and the play depicted the struggle of Hong Kong's "grassroots" class and the pursuit of strength in adversity, telling the inspirational story of Hong Kong ordinary citizens in adversity and self-improvement, which quickly swept the entire Hong Kong Island.

"Under the Lion Rock", a movie-style series of TV series, with more than 200 episodes, was broadcast live until 1994, which lasted for 21 years, which can be said to have crossed the most glorious era in Hong Kong, and is familiar to thousands of households on Hong Kong Island.

As a classic that spans decades, "Under the Lion Rock" is no longer an ordinary TV series, nor is it a simple song, but has become a symbol of the spirit of Hong Kong.

It can be said that "Under the Lion Rock" is a typical local culture on Hong Kong Island, with a strong resonance with the masses.

Huo Yaowen once saw a little bit of it, it was several series of units filmed by Zhou Yanfa, among which the most impressive were the two units of "Mother" and "Rebirth".

Because "Under the Lion Rock" is not a conventional TV series, he is shot by independent stories, simply put, it is similar to a movie, one story per unit.

Of course, if the story of a certain unit is wonderful and the audience likes it, the story behind it will also be filmed.

"Mother" and "Rebirth" are a story before and after.

The unit of "Mother" is about a young robber played by Zhou Yanfa, who was arrested in the process of robbing with his companions.

At this time, the mother returned home, and at first she saw her son in handcuffs and was very panicked, and wanted to help him take it off, which was out of maternal love, but in the process of dismantling the handcuffs, the mother gradually calmed down, chatted with her son for a while, and after learning the truth, she finally persuaded her son to turn himself in, hoping that he would be able to raise his head again in the future.

And "Rebirth" is about the young robber who robbed and was imprisoned, accepted various labor jobs and activities in prison, saw through the miserable life in the prison, repented, and finally got forgiveness from his family and reformed himself.

These two intertwined stories seem very ordinary and old-fashioned, but the sadness and crying of the unruly Fa Ge and the loving mother in the play are a good didactic film, and it is also a very realistic film.

Therefore, when it was broadcast in 1976, it attracted the attention and welcome of all "grassroots" families in Hong Kong, mainly because the law and order on Hong Kong Island was chaotic at that time, and such a realistic plot seemed to happen around everyone.

Like this kind of didactic story, Huo Yaowen can be said to be casually made, but if you want to integrate the local culture of Hong Kong Island, there are not many options.

"Homeland, blood and tears, soul ......"

Huo Yaowen touched his chin, thought about it for a long time, combined with an article he had read before, and added his own thoughts, this gradually had a prototype in his mind, and after a while, he finally began to write.

...

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and early in the morning, Huo Yaowen took the written manuscript and went to the company in person, handed over the manuscript to Yao Wenjie, and asked him to publish it in the weekly "Young People's Books" next week.

The manuscript is not a lot of words, only more than 30,000 words, Yao Wenjie only took ten minutes to read it, and after reading it, he looked at the boss with some surprise and said, "This... Manager, that's what you wrote?"

"Didn't I write it or did you write it?!" Huo Yaowen glared at him dissatisfied.

"No, no, that's not what I meant, but it's so well written!"

Yao Wenjie hurriedly shook his head, this story is written touching and heartfelt, it can be said to be very good, he didn't believe that Huo Yaowen wrote it, but he was surprised that this short story was very different from the boss's previous works.

"Okay, don't praise it, let the editors below review the manuscript as soon as possible and publish it in next week's magazine. Huo Yaowen rubbed his temples, this story is easy to conceive, but it is a little difficult to write well, not that it can't be written, but to be as concise as possible, short and excellent, and some unnecessary words need to be eliminated.

"Yes, I'll arrange it as soon as possible, and I'll publish it next week!"

Yao Wenjie knew that the boss must have written this article to deal with the run on the newspaper during this time, so he seized the time to arrange for someone to review the manuscript and then send it to the printing house to start typesetting.

...

June 2.

The 34th issue of "Books for Young People" was released, and hundreds of newsstands in Hong Kong were all stocked early in the morning.

After more than a year of sales, "Books for Young People" has gradually spread from the student group to some youth groups, and Yao Wenjie also pays attention to this, so the weekly magazine is also filled with a lot of content suitable for young people around the age of 20.

Wah Yan College.

At this time, during the class period, an old teacher in his sixties was patiently explaining the contents of the textbook to the students, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a student making small movements below.

He coughed slightly.

Suddenly, the student looked up quickly like a panicked bird and looked at the teacher with a serious face, as if he was studying hard.

Seeing this attitude, the old teacher was very satisfied, so he continued to lecture, but after a while, the student began to lower his head again, he snorted coldly, walked over quickly and snatched a magazine from the student's drawer, "Look, the class is for you to read these magazines? If you want to read it, go home and read it, don't delay other students in school!"

"I'm sorry teacher, I was wrong. The student grimaced.

"Stand in the back!"

With a wave of his hand, the old teacher motioned for the students to stand in the back and listen to the lecture, brought the confiscated magazines to the teaching platform, and began to continue the lecture.

It wasn't until after class that the old teacher took the magazine away, and before leaving, he told the student to return it to him after school.

Back in the office, the old teacher filled his cup with water, took a sip to moisten his throat, chatted with a few colleagues, and when he sat back at his desk, he noticed the magazine that had just been confiscated during class.

Pick it up and take a look at "Books for Young Adults".

He knew this magazine very well, and it was very popular among the student group, but he didn't like the content of it very much, because it was too childish, no wonder it was called a teenager's book.

In the morning, he had a class, and when he had nothing to do, he opened the magazine and read it.

The content of the first few pages is not interesting, and the dry and shriveled articles are also liked by the students, and the old teacher quickly turned a few pages, and suddenly stopped his hand, and noticed the name on this page, "Where is my home under the Lion Rock".

O Lion Rock!

I haven't heard of it in a long time.

The old teacher used to live near Lion Rock when he was young, and when he saw the familiar name, he was also interested and began to read it seriously.

"Ah Shui, do you really want to leave the village?"

"I said, I'm going to get ahead, even if it's all the cost!"

"What are you doing, get out of here!"

"You can't do this, let's go. ”

"I can do it!"

The content of the story is about a young man named Ah Shui, who longs for the prosperity of the big city, wants to get out of a remote village under the Lion Rock where he was born and raised, and gritted his teeth and entered the bustling Kowloon downtown area, where he suffered all the ridicule and neglect, worked hard and worked hard, and finally did have some achievements.

When he returned to the village triumphantly, he found that the village had been demolished due to government planning, his parents had died many years ago, and his former friends had long since disappeared.

Nuoda's mansion, Nuoda's city, but there is no home.

As time passed slowly, the old teacher's tears flowed down like water, as if he saw himself in this short essay when he was young, at that time he was full of spirit, he was the only one in the village who had ever read a book, he wanted to get out of the poor village, entered the bustling city, climbed and rolled for decades, had his own house and wife and children, but could never go back to the lion rock, the place that accompanied him through the happiest time of his youth.
