Chapter 3362 A Messy Interview

In the interview, Xiaobai asked Xiaomi to show her the storyboard sketches she had drawn for the short film.

Lin Yue looked at Xiaomi, who hadn't said a word but had only been smiling, and asked, "Xiaomi, do you have one? Can you show it to us?"

“Sure,” Xiaomi said, showing the storyboard sketches she had brought. “I need to draw them very accurately. The buttons on the clothes, the model of the gun, the style of the backpack… there can’t be any mistakes. This is a matter of respect for history.”

Lin Yue carefully examined the sketch and was full of praise; it was drawn with such detail.

She turned to the photographer and said, "Focus on the sketch so the audience can see it clearly; it's drawn with incredible detail."

After everyone had introduced themselves, Lin Yue looked at the smallest person in the room and asked with a smile, "Little friend, your name is Robin, right? Is there anything you'd like to say?"

Robin looked at her aunt, who was encouraging her.

Without hesitation, Robin began, “I want to thank my aunt. She spent so much time making this movie, staying up late to think about the story, even dreaming about how to film certain scenes. I was so moved! I asked my grandpa, and he said that's the spirit of craftsmanship. We all think my aunt will definitely become a great director someday… I want to learn from my aunt. She's set a great example for me. I'm so young to have such a good role model; I'm sure I'll be successful in the future. When I'm successful, I want to give back to society, do good deeds, be a good person, and help those in need…”

She went on and on, praising her aunt so much that she became a little embarrassed. She quickly interrupted her, telling her not to talk about such nonsense.

Liu Liu instructed her, "Just tell me how I guided you in acting."

Lin Yue laughed and said, "Yes, yes, tell me how to act?"

Robin blinked, recalling Liu Liu's instructions, and said, "Acting requires boldness and meticulousness. Don't be afraid of anything. Tell yourself that you are the best, the cutest child in the world, and you are absolutely gorgeous!!!"

Liuliu quickly covered her mouth, forcing a laugh, "Don't listen to this child's nonsense, that's not how I teach her..."

Everyone burst into laughter, even the cameraman couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the camera shook slightly.

Lin Yue then prompted, "What was the biggest change you noticed after the short film aired?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment and said seriously, "In the past, the comments under our Little Red Horse videos were all 'So cute' and 'So adorable.' This time it's different. Many people left messages saying that they went home and asked their grandparents about their stories, or went to the memorial hall, or... they cherish their current life even more."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Teacher Wu said that the red scarf is a corner of the national flag, dyed red with the blood of martyrs. I used to think it was just a metaphor, but now I think... I understand a little."

The interview lasted for more than an hour. After it ended, Lin Yue conducted random interviews with several other ordinary students.

A fifth-grade boy looked at the camera somewhat shyly and said, "My grandpa is also a veteran, but I always thought he was a nag... After watching the film, I took the initiative to talk to him for a whole night. He told me to learn from Xiaobai and to invite Xiaobai to my house for dinner. I invited Xiaobai three times, but Xiaobai refused to come. Do you have any ideas on how to get Xiaobai to come home with me?"

A young math teacher remarked, "I've been teaching for six years, and this is the first time I've seen a student's work evoke such a profound emotional response. This isn't preaching; it's a dialogue between peers, an understanding that transcends time and space."

Finally, the camera focused on Ms. Wu Mei, who was standing in front of the corridor window, watching the students running on the playground.

Wu Mei smiled and said, "As a homeroom teacher, my greatest satisfaction is not what awards the children have won, but that they have begun to think about the real weight behind big words like responsibility and inheritance. Xiaobai and his generation of children have grown up in the best of times. And perhaps the best education is to let them understand where this 'best' comes from and where it will lead."

The interview with Xiaobai's team by the Pujiang TV station's "Growth Diary" program was carefully edited and broadcast during prime time on weekends.

The program not only focuses on the creative process, but also extends to capture the ripples that the short film "One Generation Fights Three Generations' War" has stirred up in all sectors of society.

The program included a powerful scene of thousands of teachers and students standing at attention and saluting in the auditorium of Hongqi Primary School, heartwarming moments of dialogue between leaders from the Municipal Education Bureau and retired professors from the Working Committee for the Care of the Next Generation and Xiaobai, and vivid scenes of children spontaneously discussing and creating hand-copied newspapers after watching the short film in class.

At the end of the program, reporter Lin Yue stood in the courtyard of Little Red Horse Academy, facing the camera, her voice soft yet powerful: "A short film spontaneously created by children is like a pebble thrown into the torrent of the times, stirring not only tears and emotions, but also a resonance and echo that transcends generations. It shows us that the inheritance of history does not necessarily require grand preaching; sometimes, it is precisely this simplest and most sincere storytelling that can reach the depths of the heart and awaken shared emotional memories. This is perhaps the most moving echo of the saying 'one generation fought the battles of three generations' in the new era."

The program received an even more enthusiastic response after it aired.

The official account of Little Red Horse Academy surpassed five million followers within a few days, and the private message and comment sections were flooded with more heartwarming messages. Among them, some special messages stood out.

"I am a border guard, stationed at the westernmost outpost of our motherland. The winters here are long and the snow is thick. Watching your film reminded me of my time as a recruit, and also of the generations of predecessors who have been stationed here. 'One generation fights the battles of three generations,' but here, it is 'One generation stands the post of three generations.' Thank you for letting more people know the weight of the word 'guarding.'"

The message was followed by a photo: In front of the snow-capped mountains, a young soldier's face was red from the cold, but his eyes were bright, and the national emblem on his military cap shone brightly in the sunlight.

"I am a history document administrator at the city library, and I am 62 years old this year. After watching the film, especially the part where the children went to research historical materials and draw storyboard sketches, I was deeply moved. Yesterday, when I was organizing the collection, I specifically found several photo albums and oral histories about children's corps and child soldiers during the Korean War, and I have applied to have them opened as a special exhibition. If Director Xiaobai and your team are interested, you are welcome to come and take a look at them at any time. History needs to be seen, and even more so, it needs to be seen by such a thoughtful next generation."

The poster's profile picture is the cover of a yellowed old book.

"We are volunteers from the 'Veterans Returning Home' charity organization. Over the years, we have been helping to find, identify, and repatriate the remains of martyrs who sacrificed their lives overseas. Your short film, especially the scene of the final welcoming ceremony, brought many of our volunteers to tears. It interprets the full meaning of our work in an artistic way: bringing heroes home, remembering sacrifices, and ensuring that every act of protection is not in vain. Thank you, young creators."

Thousands of replies have been left under this comment, expressing respect and support.

These responses, coming from all over the country, from different industries, and from different age groups, are like pieces of a puzzle, gradually piecing together the deeper and broader social significance of this short film.

It is no longer just an "assignment" for the children of Little Red Horse Academy, but has become a faint yet clear cultural signal that touches the heartstrings of history, inheritance and responsibility in the pulse of the times.

That evening, when Zhang Tan returned home from get off work, he found that Xiao Bai was not watching TV or fiddling with her "director's notes" in the living room as usual, but was sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the study with her notebook spread out in front of her.

She was so focused on watching that she didn't even notice Zhang Tan walking up to her.
