1. Cheng Deshan’s highlight moments

History Background: Seoul Olympic Games

Please answer, 1988. The original origin of the play was the 1988 Seoul Olympics. So in the first few episodes, there are various stalks of the Seoul Olympic Games, and it is worth saying a few words.

First of all, the kind of Korean “Olympic Fever” that the audience felt in the play is totally imaginable.

For South Korea in 1988, hosting the Olympic Games was indeed the biggest thing. This is the second time the Olympic Games have been held in Asian countries since Tokyo in 1964. More importantly, although Korea ’s economy began to grow rapidly since the 1970s, it has been under the military dictatorship. (will be mentioned later) , so the overall national image and reputation are not good in the world, and hosting the Olympic Games is the best public shutdown.

Before the Seoul Olympics, in fact, there were many concerns: the opposition of the Korean opposition parties; many countries in the world that do not have diplomatic relations with South Korea may not come; North Korea will definitely resist … p>

During the dictatorship of South Korean President Jeon Doo-hwan, the International Olympic Committee considered moving the 1988 Olympics to a neutral city. As a result, Lu Tae-yu, who later took over as South Korean president, flew to the Olympic Committee headquarters to give a speech. , And threatened to be “unsuccessful, and benevolence”, to keep all half of the Olympic venues built as a “memory of shame”, and for the then International Olympic Committee President Samaranch “tomb”, and finally won Samaranch’s stand by.

In the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, more than 8,000 athletes from 159 countries participated in the event, which is unprecedented in scale.

“Please answer, 1988” has a short shot of the theme song “Hand in Hand” of the Olympic Games, which is one of the famous theme songs in the history of the Olympic Games , Enduring.

When it comes to participating countries, we must also talk about Cheng Deshan’s admission as a Miss Madagascar delegation. That incident is also historically based: Madagascar did announce its withdrawal from the Seoul Olympics that year.

Why? It was actually in response to a North Korean request.

In 1981, after South Korea successfully applied for the Olympic Games, North Korea offered to co-host the Olympic Games with South Korea and assume half of the Olympic games. This initiative was ultimately rejected by the International Olympic Committee, and North Korea decided to boycott the Olympic Games, hoping that its “ally” could resist together.

In the end, Cuba, Nicaragua, Albania, Ethiopia, Seychelles, and Madagascar announced their boycotts of the Seoul Olympics—yes, Madagascar was a socialist country at the time.

In the TV series, Cheng Deshan eventually became the Miss Etiquette of the Uganda delegation, but in real history, the prototype of Cheng Deshan-Korean female high school student Liu Rongxin (She is the Miss Manner of the Madagascar delegation) , and finally entered the wrestling competition venue as an award ceremony officer.

Then talk about the game.

What is the biggest news of the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games? In the men’s 100-meter final, the Canadian athlete Ben Johnson took medication, which was then called “the deception of the century.”

This paragraph is also shown in “Please answer, 1988”, and I have to admit the insight of President Kim.

I have written about this, and you can read: “ The dark history of doping behind” The Deception of the Century ” / p>

Finally there is another episode. In “Please answer, 1988”, there are a few lines like this:

This is also a famous “Oolong” event at the Seoul Olympics.

The release of peace pigeons at the opening ceremony first emerged in the Antwerp Olympic Games in Belgium in 1920, and later became a tradition. The Seoul Olympic Games is no exception.

However, at the opening ceremony of the Seoul Olympic Games, the peace pigeons were first released, and then many peace pigeons fell to rest on the main torch stand. As a result, when the torch of the main torch stand was lit, it was in full view of the world. Many peace pigeons instantly became “roasted suckling pigeons”.

This scene later caused protests from animal protection organizations. The “flying dove of peace” also faded out of the opening ceremony after the Seoul Olympics.

2, “No money is guilty, rich is not guilty”

Historical background: Chi Jiangxian prison escape hijackerThe case

In 1988, in addition to hosting the Olympic Games, South Korea also had one issue that the people of the whole country were concerned about: the “Jiangjiang Xian Prison Break and Hostage-taking Case.” In the third episode of “Please answer, 1988”, Deshan’s father muttered at the news being broadcast on TV:

“No money is guilty, rich is guilty.”

This is the incident.

At that time, a man named Chi Jiangxian had been stealing 5.56 million won. (At the time, equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan) was sentenced to 17 years Imprisonment (7 years imprisonment, 10 years guardianship) . Shortly after the Seoul Olympics ended, the younger brother of South Korea ’s last president, Jeon Doo-hwan, embezzled billions of won of public funds, but was sentenced to seven years in prison and ceased to be enforced.

This incident has caused a dramatic response throughout Korea, and everyone is questioning judicial injustice.

In this context, Chi Jiangxian, who was in a prison, wrote a letter to the Minister of Justice, asking him to go to “Quan Douhuan’s family to discuss an argument” with his inmates.

Result, Chi Jiangxian and 11A prisoner attacked the prison guards during the transfer, and fled after capturing guns and bullets. Six of them were arrested and 6 escaped successfully. After the escape, the group of Jiangjiang Xian stayed (also called Seoul at the time) in the capital Seoul for 9 days.

In this 9-day incident, Chi Jiangxian broke into 5 households and treated the residents as hostages. However, during the entire period of hostage, Chi Jiangxian did not do any harm to the hostages. Instead, he cooked himself, cleaned the house, and invited the “hostages” to drink. Because the residents were not “feeling threatened” at all, there were also hostage families who submitted “petitions” for Chi Jiangxian to plead.

But in the end, the police still surrounded the group of Chi Jiangxian. At the last moment, Chi Jiangxian asked for a live TV broadcast. As a result, audiences across the country saw Chi Jiangxian ’s last moment: facing the television footage, Chi Jiangxian shouted “no money is guilty, rich is guilty!” This sentence left a deep impression on the Korean people who watched the live broadcast at that time.

In the end, Chi Jiangxian was shot. (in the case of suicide, the cause of death is still a mystery) .

In 2006, the Korean movie “Holiday” (also known as “Escape from Prison”) was based on this sensation.

3. Cheng Bao La who participated in the parade

Historical background: Social conflicts in Korea have intensified

1988 was also a turbulent year for South Korea.

On the one hand, the successful hosting of the Seoul Olympics has further accelerated the development of Korea ’s economy and greatly enhanced its international image. On the other hand, in order to ensure the land requisition and demolition actions before the Olympic Games are successfully held, and to further intensify social contradictions, the dictatorship of military dictatorships since the time of Park Jung-hee is still extremely great, which has also led the Korean people’s grievances to a burst -Demonstrations.

Park Jung Hee and daughter Park Geun Hye. Park Zhengxi wrote at the time: “Er Cao has no body and no name, and does not waste the rivers and rivers.”

The “Gwangju Incident” on May 18, 1980 and the “Pullin Incident” in September 1981 were two hallmark events of the Korean people’s opposition to the government dictatorship, and college students at school gradually became the main force of the protest. Every year A large number of students have been expelled for political reasons, but they have followed. In 1987, millions of South Koreans took to the streets to protest against the military dictatorship, and the Korean military dictatorship finally came to an end.

For the “Bullin incident”, you can watch the Korean movie “The Defender”, adapted from the story of former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.

In 1988, using the opportunity to host the Seoul Olympics, the voices of the Korean people further increased. Street protests are still one of the main means. Cheng Baola, who was admitted to the University of Seoul in a TV drama, participated in the parade in this context. .

Under the circumstances, Cheng Baola really was at the risk of being expelled from school and even affecting the distribution of work-in fact, it did affect it. Later, she was going to be a teacher and could only learn about accounting. .

Photos of Paula’s mother bleeding from her toes and begging the police during the rainstorm, I believe many people are also impressed

However, there will be an episode of (which episode can’t be remembered) , Cheng Baola was ready to be a prosecutor at that time, The neighbor of Shuangmendong asked if her previous “bad record” would have any impact. Paula’s parents said that the government had changed, it’s okay. (intentionally) , which also has a historical background:
