“Liu Sanjie” is a color tune drama created in the 1950s based on the story of Liu Sanjie, a Zhuang singer in Liuzhou, Guangxi. It is well-known because it was adapted into an opera film in 1960 and has become the emotional memory of a generation. The unique and beautiful images and melodies of Zhuang folk songs have spread all over the country. The new Third Sister Liu, a color tune drama recently launched by Guangxi theater, describes the beauty of a new song sister Wang with “good song talent” like Third Sister Liu in those years, which reflects the hardships and joy of contemporary Zhuang people’s life and has also made high artistic achievements. How to activate the tradition and how to express the times are undoubtedly the two key issues of eternal drama creation, and the success of new Third Sister Liu gives us many important enlightenment in these aspects.

The color tune drama “new Third Sister Liu” boldly borrows the classic “Third Sister Liu”, which has a deep audience base, grafts new stories and characters on it, and expresses the life and pursuit of today’s strong family through characters and stories with distinctive characteristics of the times. The heroine beauty of “new Third Sister Liu” is not a replica of that year’s third sister Liu. If we say that in the 1950s when “Third Sister Liu” came out, the audience will have a strong resonance because the legendary singer Third Sister Liu on the opera stage expressed the resistance of the oppressed with her clever folk songs, then today’s strong children, It is more likely that Wang Jiemei, the new song on the opera stage, made the right choice in the face of many emotional shocks and life confusion, accepted and recognized her in her heart, and believed that this is the “new Third Sister Liu” of the new era. It is not easy to achieve such an artistic goal. The creative process of new Third Sister Liu is a challenging journey. The reason is that since it borrows the classic title of Third Sister Liu, new Third Sister Liu cannot be a creation completely unrelated to “old” Third Sister Liu. Third sister Liu is a gold lettered signboard that helps the spread of new Third Sister Liu. For the latter, if it is used well, it will become a treasure house, and if it is not used well, it will become a mountain. I see that “new Third Sister Liu” consciously continues the artistic direction of the classic “Third Sister Liu” in almost all aspects, from story, characters to Literature and music. Only in this way can the audience sincerely admit that it has the right to name it after “new Third Sister Liu”.

The success of “new Third Sister Liu” is also due to the fact that the play has chosen excellent drama writers Chang Jianjun and Pei Zhiyong from Guangxi as the screenwriter. It is precisely because they have a deep accumulation of folk literature that “new Third Sister Liu” has a different style. What is both valuable and difficult is that “new Third Sister Liu”, like its template classic “Third Sister Liu”, uses folk song style to write lyrics. To write such a contemporary female singer, the screenwriter must have “good song talent” like the protagonist. The author of “new Third Sister Liu” lives in Guangxi, which is rich in folk literature resources. He has been rooted in Zhuang township for a long time and lives with local folk singers. Singing dues is not only the happiest time in their life, but also provides an inexhaustible source of living water for their creation. It is precisely because of this unique accumulation of experience that there are a large number of unique and wonderful lyrics in the new Third Sister Liu. In particular, the sentence “think of your sister as a Sha, and your soul will fall into your home” makes the play full of folk wisdom.

Excellent literary and artistic works can not only provide us with spiritual satisfaction and pleasure, but also provide inspiration for life. The same is true for new Third Sister Liu. In the play, the changes of Zhuang Township implied by “your village” and “my village” due to the times, concentrated in the contemporary youth destiny of Zhuang township’s young sister Ge Wangmei, a Ying who has an engagement with her, and Mofei who opens an online shop in Zhuang Township, are enough to trigger many reveries about the meaning of life. The heroine sister beauty not only has the beauty, kindness, wisdom and beautiful singing of the heroine in the classic version of Third Sister Liu, but also has the independent spirit as the symbol of contemporary women. This independent spirit is not only reflected in her choice of love and marriage, but also in her way of life and attitude. Her most allegorical lyrics “my brother goes to the distance to find the poem, and my sister looks for the distance in the poem” best express her healthy life attitude and spiritual appeal. “New Third Sister Liu” tells us through the stories and characters in the play that the poetic mountain style actually has all the connotation of “distance” we yearn for. The way of getting rid of poverty and getting rich in mountainous areas is just like this. Compared with the one-way development model of one-sided emphasis on going out of the mountains and entering the city, looking for the meaning of life and confirming the value of life from the “distance”, the new Third Sister Liu gives a different path, and it is persuasive.

The color tune drama “new Third Sister Liu” has both the roots of classics and the source of reality. This is the new drama we need today.
