Tonight, the TV series "People by the Canal" directed by Pan Jingcheng , written by Ma Jihong , and starring Wang Lei, Han Xue, Wang Longzheng , Xu Lingyue , etc. will be broadcast on the prime time of the News Comprehensive Channel. The play is set in the Grand Canal for the first time, telling the story of the people along the canal in the new era, under the leadership of the Party, embarking on a new journey of comprehensively building socialist modernization.

In 2003, Dongjiang City established the Grand Canal Comprehensive Management Command in order to revive the Grand Canal culture and help the Grand Canal apply for World Heritage. Lu Changhe (played by Wang Lei) was admitted to the command center for exception. With the help of the division commander, friends and leaders, Lu Changhe withstood the pressure and successfully solved the problem of sewage pollution in the river. He also devoted himself to the relocation of residents in the historical district along the canal, and successfully prevented the demolition of ancient buildings in the thousand-year-old ancient town, protecting the thousand-year-old ancient charm on both sides of the canal...

In the play, Lu Changhe, the loyal guardian of the Grand Canal, is played by powerful actor Wang Lei. The long road adheres to principles, leads by example in everything, and dares to take responsibility. He is an idealist who continues to grow with the development of the times. Wang Lei, born in the north, admitted that he didn't know much about the Grand Canal before taking on this drama, but the topic and intention of the script attracted him. "For different scenes, I will design some details for the characters, including speaking style, voice size, etc., to more vividly express the characters in the play. The most important thing is to find the point of empathizing with the audience and empathizing with the audience , so that they can understand a story and gain an insight through the images in the film and television works."

In addition to Wang Lei, Han Xue, the actor of Lu Changhe's wife in the play, also contributed a wonderful performance. Liang Ziyan is one of the millions of ordinary Chinese women: she gets up in the morning to prepare soy milk and fried dough sticks for her husband and children, is busy at the noodle stall of Luma, and wears simple jeans and sneakers... She comes from life and is performed by actors to show the atmosphere of life.

Compared with previous TV series that simply show the Grand Canal in partially, "People by the Canal" has focused their attention on the present for the first time. General producer Wang Zhihui said: "The reason we want to shoot its current story is to let more people see the development and changes of the canal in recent decades and see the country's attitude towards the governance, protection and development of canals under the changes of the times." Ma Jihong, who has won the Chinese TV Series Feitian Award Excellent Screenwriter Award, said: "I always believe that no matter what kind of theme, the core of the script is the characters, and the vitality of a good drama is always the vitality of people. For "People by the Canal", the focus of my creation is to base myself on the present, and through the window of Dongjiang City, use the vitality of people to show the grand theme of the times and the fiery social life in multiple levels, angles and directions."
