Today, the heart-warming second season of the character documentary "Daughters of the Party" produced by Mango TV and jointly produced by the All-China Women's Federation is launched! While continuing the character biography style of the first season, it goes deep into all walks of life to interpret the portraits of female party members in the new era.
"Keeping pace with the times":
There are women in industry development
Lu Shengmei, a 78-year-old retired doctor from Jiaxian People's Hospital of Shaanxi Province, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Taxation Bureau of Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of the State Administration of Taxation, Li Hongju, Party Committee of the First Kindergarten of Beihai City, Guangxi Branch Secretary and Director Fan Huili, CNOOC Research Institute Engineering Research and Design Institute Chief Engineer of Submarine Pipe Structure Hou Jing, Hubei Province Xiaogan City Fire Rescue Detachment Deputy Captain Yu Mei... They have a common name - "National March 8th Red Flag" hand".
The first season of "The Party's Daughter" laid out a grand picture of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party. The second season turns from history to the times, focusing on many different industries such as medical care, taxation, education, offshore oil, fire protection, rescue, archaeology, etc., in order to obtain the "National March 8th Red Flagbearers" ("National March 8th Red Flagbearers Collective" ") The honorary title of female Chinese Communist Party member representative is the protagonist and constitutes ten episodes.
They come from all over the world, adhere to the belief of serving the people and building the motherland, and stick to their respective posts for several years. As female party members and industry role models, their growth journey reflects the changes and development in all walks of life and witnesses the changes of the times.
From 6 minutes per episode in the first season to 15 minutes per episode in the second season - with the upgraded length, the focus of documentary narrative expression is also different.
The first episode of the second season of "The Party's Daughter" tells the story of Lu Shengmei, the former vice president and director of pediatrics at Jiaxian People's Hospital, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. Also based on the theme of medical practitioners, the narration of the deeds of military doctor Li Landing in the first season mainly reproduces the structural content through scenes based on historical materials. There is a certain distance from current life and prefers an archival image style. The second season uses more documentary follow-ups of the protagonist - answering questions about the condition through WeChat in private time; chatting with the barbershop master; sitting around the fireside with the head nurse and the elderly university president, talking about the future over a glass of rice wine... Shengmei's interactions with patients, colleagues, and neighbors are cordial, straightforward, and warm. These plain yet vivid scenes strengthen the sense of communication and create fireworks.
With scenes full of life and delicate personal narratives, the documentary uses its extended duration to accommodate many empathetic details, bringing more in-depth perception and thinking. From the long century-old party history to precise industry focus - following the pace of the times, the documentary series' exploration of the stories of party members is also updated.
"Seven Ones":
Upgrade the narrative to amplify the voice of women
Record a character, a spirit of the times, a major national event within a decade, an industry's changes over the past decade, an object or touching details, a touching point, a golden sentence . The second season of "The Party's Daughter" uses "Seven Ones" as the creative concept to sort out the stories of women in different industries.
A pair of plastic cotton shoes worn on a snowy day to visit doctors; a petition to join the new crown epidemic rescue team; the sentence "because I am a Chinese doctor"; the number of newborns in a small northwest county in the 1960s was as high as 60‰ Mortality rate, medical changes to achieve zero neonatal deaths in the past three years - in the first episode of the second season, Lu Shengmei's story is visualized as objects engraved with time and specific numbers, delicate touch the audience's perception.
Under the creative idea of "Seven Ones", the depiction of the second season of "The Party's Daughter" is based on the distinct background of the times, portraying the little people in the big era, and telling the extraordinary in the ordinary.
In 1968, Lu Shengmei, who graduated from Beijing Second Medical College (now Capital Medical University), followed the trend of the times and obeyed the distribution of the motherland, took a westbound train to Jiaxian, and became the then Yulin The only pediatrician with a professional background in the region. After experiencing the difficult medical environment in Jiaxian County, she decided to stay "where it is most needed." After writing the promise of "working for the health of the Party for 50 years and serving the people of Jiaxian County for 50 years", Lu Shengmei's life was closely connected with the fellow villagers of this small northwest county. The torrent of time brought her to Jiaxian, and her deep love for the people and the motherland made her take root here.

On the other hand, we focus on major events and observe the changes and development of the industry from the perspective of female role models. Through a true profile of work normality, it accurately records the hard work of all walks of life in the new era; through a character's professional persistence, it promotes the fighting spirit of an era. Through different perspectives of macro and micro, the mental journey is fully expressed.
"I feel that I haven't lived enough":
Passionate answer for faith
Facing work, Lu Shengmei is a doctor who works all day long "I will give you timely diagnosis and treatment as soon as you come", and a "non-closing" doctor who provides free consultations after retirement. . In her life, she learns to play the piano, play soft ball, square dance, and take care of flowers and plants, which is simple but fulfilling.
is a passionate dedication to ideals, but in reality it is like gurgling water. The second season adopts a dual narrative structure, telling the stories of party members in a dual narrative of work and life.
From 1968 to 1999, Lu Shengmei treated 270,000 people in Jiaxian County; since his retirement, the number of free clinic visits has reached 150,000. "Her principles are to spend less money to treat serious diseases and not to abuse antibiotics or hormones. So these are passed down by our pediatric doctors." Wu Yan, a junior doctor, said of Lu Shengmei, "She is an amiable and caring person. He is a stern person. "
can not only charge at the post, but also dance gracefully at the cultural party. This "busiest old lady in Jiaxian County" said, "I feel that I have not lived enough."
The protagonists have their own answers regarding the review of "the way they came" and the imagination of the "way ahead". But when it comes to life choices, their answer is the only one: dedicate themselves to the country and fight for the times!
"Speak the truth in the most difficult times. This is really what our teacher said. No matter how difficult the place is, just remember your bounden duty." They are the ones who always put the interests of the country and the people before their individual interests. Consistent words and actions. They use their selfless dedication and words and deeds to inspire generations of Chinese women, take over the mission entrusted to them by the times, and use practical actions to inherit the spirit of women and continue the power of women.
After the outbreak of the new coronavirus in 2019, 76-year-old Lu Shengmei once again volunteered to support the fight against the epidemic. After this "letter of petition" was launched, it inspired many young doctors and nurses to volunteer. Everyone solemnly wrote their names behind Lu Shengmei's signature.
Do one thing, love one thing, drill one thing, and master one thing. These female party members who "walk with the times" have built a lighthouse with sweat and tenacity.Inspire and lead generations of people, regardless of age or position, to add glory to the bright future of the motherland with an enterprising attitude. This fearless and persevering party member spirit and the will to work hard to build a new era are also passed down to the younger generation.
Behind the ordinary daily life that is full of life, is a sense of mission that does not forget the original intention - the second season of "The Party's Daughter" is even "closer" to the audience. In the intertwining of passion and plainness, ideals and reality, the stories of female party members in the documentary are simple and vivid. The real work and life situations and warm personal conversations also make this story more firm and moving.
