A Calming and Healing Watch
Episode 1: I'll be the first to admit, I don't like variety shows. I don't watch them in America, so I thought this might take some effort to sit down and watch, although I am a huge fan of Zhao Lusi. From the first minute, I found myself captivated by the narration, scenery, and conversations. There are some heartwarming and humorous scenes between her drama co star, Fu Bohan and the villagers. Along the way, she meets an elderly gentleman who shares with her his artistic craft.
When he says: "I'm old and my hands are dirty. Very dirty."
Lusi gently reassures him, responding to him having calluses: "This is your medal. A craftsman's medal. This is why you're so great."
What a beautiful, uplifting, and sincere thing to say to someone. My family is full of struggling craftsman. I absolutely wanted to embrace her at this moment. To me, this was actually my favorite segment because of the profound and deep connection she found with him. I also LOVED how they incorporated him playing the bone flute. It was absolutely enchanting to hear, and now I want to find one and learn to play. But, I digress. During this segment, Lusi shows interest in his craft and later gifts him with a sewing machine. Also, she is so caring and considerate to her host family, bringing them gifts and praising the young girl on many occasions.
While she shares a few memories from her past, she does so in a way to connect with viewers that have shared a similar life. I have read through comments on another platform who praise her for her ability to comfort them. I read one recently that made me cry. Suffering from many things, the poster, because of this show, decided to take a trip, like Luci, to heal herself. How amazing to be able to touch a heart to warmly.
Through this show, she's bringing awareness to depression, who MANY suffer from all over the world. In some countries, it's a stigma where it's not supposed to be discussed. The courage to pitch this show and follow through knowing segments of the population and her own entertainment circle would brutally attack every word she said, is absolutely courageous.
Overall, this show is very uplifting and encouraging. It's calming and therapeutic. There are many challenges we will face in life. How we choose to overcome and recover from these challenges shouldn't be judged and scrutinized with a magnifying class. It should be celebrated and embraced.
(Note: Those bombarding this show with 1 stars because you don't like the actress shows she hasn't failed in a series, but you have failed as a compassionate human being).
