In 1994, Ukraine signed a "Memorandum of Agreement" with the United States and Russia, confirming the destruction of all nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Three years ago, Ukraine inherited part of the military strength of the former Soviet Union through an independence referendum, including about 1,300 nuclear weapons**, but due to the constraints of various forces, Ukraine implemented a policy of "non-nuclear, neutral, and non-alignment".Destroy all nuclear ** in three years, and reduce hundreds of thousands of military personnel

The former third nuclear power has become an "ideal country" in the eyes of the world's anti-nuclear activists, but it has ushered in an unknown fate.

In the spring of 1994, in Hebron in the West Bank, an Israeli Jew, armed with an automatic rifle, broke into the Ibrahim Mosque and opened fire on more than 1,000 Palestinian Muslims gathered in the temple, killing 29 people and wounding 125 on the spot"Ibrahim**".

The man, Baruch Goldstein, was beaten to death by angry Palestinians after the incident, and a new round of unrest broke out between Palestinians and Israelis. In the aftermath, Palestine banned Israelis from entering the Arab community in Hebron, and the Israeli authorities demanded that Palestinians leave the area.

At that time, the hatred between Palestine and Israel had been going on for many years, and no one knew when the conflict would end.

In 1994, a girl from BeijingZhu LingI started my junior year at Tsinghua University. According to the singer Li Jian, who studied at Tsinghua University during the same period, she was a very handsome classmate.

In the winter of that year, Zhu Ling began to have strange symptoms of poisoning, and her physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and on the evening of December 11, she insisted on participating in the performance of the Tsinghua Folk Band while she was ill, and played the guqin song "Guangling San".

Young workers in Shijiazhuang in 1994Nie ShubinI went to work at the factory as usual. Later, relatives and friends recalled that Nie Shubin was timid and introverted by nature, born with a stutter, and was not good at arguing with others. In today's words, he is an ordinary "worker".

But this summer, a female corpse found in a cornfield near the factory will change Nie Shubin's fate and freeze his life before he is 21 years old.

Time is like a bullet, shuttling through the wilderness of history, and many years later, it is in the center of the eyebrows, forming a fateful closed loop.

Looking back suddenly, 1994 was 30 years ago.

In the vast history of China's reform and opening up, 1994 is known as the "year of reform", "the year of tackling tough problems" and the "critical year".

In 1994, the annual GDP was 4.38 trillion yuan, an increase of 11 percent over the previous year8%。

According to the 1994 Statistical Communiqué on National Economic and Social Development, the main problem of economic development at that time was that the market had risen too highAgricultural development is lagging behind;Some state-owned enterprises are still facing many difficulties in their production and operation.

Economic development is advancing rapidly, and key projects have sprung up from the ground, attracting attention at home and abroad.

This year,"Pearl of the Orient".The radio and television tower was completed on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai.

The "Oriental Pearl" faces the Bund across the river, the tower is 468 meters high, and 11 sizes are not.

1. The high and low spheres connect the blue sky and the grassland, constituting the artistic conception of "big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate" in Tang poems.

Since then, the "Oriental Pearl" has become Shanghai's business card and once ranked first in Asia.

1. The third tallest tower in the world. Under the tower, the old Shanghai of the ten-mile ocean field seems to be a glimpse of time, and above the tower, the fashion style of the magic capital is unobstructed, and the flowers are like a brocade.

This year, China's first large-scale commercial nuclear power plant-Daya Bay Nuclear Power PlantUnit 1 was put into operation.

After the reform and opening up, the economic construction of the Pearl River Delta region is in full swing, but the power is still lagging behind. In 1984, during his inspection of Shenzhen, Deng Gong gave instructions: Shenzhen should do two things well, one is to build a nuclear power plant, and the other is to run Shenzhen University well.

However, the construction of nuclear power plants lacks the necessary funds, technology, equipment and management experience. At that time, Hong Kong, which is adjacent to Shenzhen, was also facing the problem of lack of electricity, so the two sides hit it off, and in addition to importing technology from abroad, they also adopted the method of "joint ventures, borrowing for construction, and selling electricity to repay money", first borrowing from foreign banks to build nuclear power plants, and then selling electricity to Hong Kong, selling 70 percent of the electricity to Hong Kong, and obtaining foreign exchange to repay the loans.

According to Zan Yunlong, the "son of nuclear power" who is preparing to build the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, "90% of the entire power station is borrowed money. The relevant departments vividly compared this plan to "borrowing money to buy chickens, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and selling eggs to pay back".

This year, after 40 years of investigation and demonstrationThree Gorges Project on the Yangtze RiverConstruction began.

As early as Sun Yat-sen's "Founding Strategy", the idea of building the Three Gorges Project was mentioned. For the development of flood control, power generation and shipping in the Yangtze River basin, countless scientists, engineers and workers have devoted their efforts to this project of the century that has gone down in history for decades.

On December 14, 1994, the groundbreaking ceremony of the Three Gorges Project was held in Yichang, Hubei Province. Since then, after more than ten years of construction, the world's largest hydropower station has been born, and the Three Gorges Dam stands in the Xiling Gorge.

The pace of the times is majestic and heroic, and China is undergoing earth-shattering changes.

In 1994, China's total exports increased by 31 percent over the previous year9%。

When China further joined the global market, the United States, as the only remaining superpower, had just experienced the victory of the Cold War brought about by the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and achieved the harvest and suppression of Japan, the second largest economy, through the Plaza Accord and the Japan-US Semiconductor Treaty. The world political pattern during this period was known as "one superpower and many powers".

Sixteen years later, China has overtaken Japan to become the world's second largest economy.

The spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the land, and the lives of the Chinese people have changed greatly.

In 1994, in order to alleviate the situation of fiscal expenditure since the late 1980s, the tax sharing system was introduced. In July 1994, in order to cooperate with the reform of the tax-sharing systemDecision on Deepening the Reform of the Urban Housing SystemPublish. Later, this year was called the first year of housing market reform.

After 1994, the local government has accelerated the promotion of the land transfer system, and land has begun to become an important means of making money, attracting investment and attracting investment, and China's real estate is about to start a period of rapid development. Twenty years later, in 2014, the national land transfer income reached 429 trillion yuan, this figure is 100 times that of 1995.

July 1994Companies ActThe formal implementation has promoted the development of China's joint-stock enterprises, and also promoted the reform of state-owned enterprises.

After 1994, with the reform of state-owned enterprises, the sudden, large-scale "laid-off floods" and "unemployment floods" throughout China's cities and towns were the major challenges facing Chinese society. Yu Hui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, mentioned in his article that between 1995 and 2006, the number of state-owned enterprises dropped sharply from 88,000 to 25,000, and the number of employees also fell from 11.3 billion fell to 64.2 million.

In 1994, 17 years had passed since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the number of college graduates reached 63 that year740,000 people. In August of this year, ** state organs recruited civil servants for the first time, which is the so-called"National Examination".

In 1994, 4,400 candidates took the first national examination and applied for 490 civil service places in more than 30 national agencies. At that time, the scene was called "10,000 people rushing to take the civil service examination", and by October 2023, the number of people who signed up for the 2024 national examination and passed the qualification examination reached 30330,000 people, a record ratio of about 77:1 to the number of job plans.

In 1994, there was a novelty that came into the lives of thousands of households, and that isHealth supplements

In 1994, during the TV broadcast of the World Cup in the United States, there was an advertisement of "Sleeping Lion Awakening" that attracted the attention of the audienceSun God。In order to spread out from the local market, the sun god also seized the advertising space of local newspapers.

Founded in the same yearThree plantsIt is also a rapidly rising health care product giant, with sales of 8 billion yuan just two years after its establishment. Sanzhu's main marketing method is to go to the countryside, and paint Sanzhu's advertisements on rural telephone poles, walls, and even toilets. Under its strong marketing offensive, some consumers were affected, forming the concept of "I'd rather eat less meat than drink three plants", and the sales of three plants also rose.

In addition to these giants, the popular health products at that time also included the "Chinese Turtle Essence" endorsed by the famous Chinese track and field coach Ma Junren, and the "Life Nuclear Energy" launched after buying the secret formula from Ma Junren.

Led by Ma Junren"Ma Jiajun".He was a well-known sports star in the 90s, won numerous awards on the track and field, and it has always been rumored that Ma Junren's team members rely on drinking soft-shelled turtle blood to improve their physique. But later, "Ma Jiajun" fell into a doping scandal, was condemned by all parties, and soon disappeared from the public eye.

According to statistics, in 1994, there were as many as 280,000 kinds, with annual sales of 30 billion.

In the same year, China's first formal Advertising Law was promulgated and began to be implemented the following year, and the wildly grown health products were remediated on a large scale. The efficacy of products such as Helios and Sanzhu was questioned, and their market share declined rapidly, and they completely declined within a few years. I saw him rise up a tall building, and I saw him collapse.

Speaking of life changes. In 1994,InternetQuietly opened the door to China.

This year, China became the 77th member of the Internet with full access to the Internet.

In the same year, the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences set up the first web server in China and launched the first set of web pages in ChinaThe Computer Network Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has completed the setup of China's ccTLD (CN) server.

Seven years ago at this groundbreaking moment, computer expert Professor Qian Tianbai sent China's first email, the content of which was translated into Chinese"Over the Great Wall and into the world. ”

After nearly three decades of access to the Internet in China, in 2023, the number of Chinese netizens will reach 107.9 billion people.

When the Internet first came to China, many people did not have access to it. But the following year, a distress message came from Beijing to the world, and the sender was namedPei Zhicheng, he wanted to seek help from foreign medical experts to inquire about the condition of his classmate Zhu Ling.

At present, China has entered the 5G era. Source: Photo.com.

In October 1994, Tsinghua student Zhu Ling suffered two temporary blindness and blurred vision for several days. Under the examination of Tsinghua University doctor and Tsinghua University's designated hospital, no ** was found.

At the end of the year, Zhu Ling began to have strange symptoms, severe stomach pain and hair loss, although he got better after treatment and returned to school, but a few months later, Zhu Ling's condition deteriorated again, and after suffering from hair loss, abdominal pain, and joint and muscle pain, he fell into a five-month coma.

Later, we all knew that the cause of Zhu Ling's bad luck was caused by someone deliberately poisoningThallium poisoning

But during Zhu Ling's coma, the hospital did not find ** at first. As a result, Zhu Ling's high school classmates, Pei Zhicheng and Cai Quanqing, students of Peking University's class of '92, translated Zhu Ling's medical history and related examinations into English, and sent distress emails abroad through the network newly established by Peking University.

Chinese journalist Li Jiajia said in his investigative report "Zhu Ling's Forty-five Years" that this isThe first case of seeking help on the Internet in China.

After sending out the distress email, Pei Zhicheng and others received more than 2,000 responses from 18 countries and regions. After the judgment of overseas experts, Zhu Ling's symptoms were suspected of thallium poisoning. Thallium is a highly toxic chemical that can cause lesions in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal system and kidneys.

After getting advice on the Internet, Zhu Ling's family and friends found a medical expert after many roundsChen ZhenyangThe professor did an examination, and the results showed that "all the specimens had a high thallium content, which is thousands of times higher than that of healthy people". On the same day, Professor Chen Zhenyang issued a test report, believing that Zhu Ling was poisoned by thallium twice.

After confirming**, through Prussian Blue**, which specializes in thallium poisoning, the thallium in Zhu Ling's body was expelled and he woke up from a 5-month coma, but his body was left with serious sequelae, almost paralysis, blindness in both eyes and severe brain damage. For many years after that, Zhu Ling was bedridden, completely lost his ability to take care of himself, and could only live under the round-the-clock care of his parents.

This talented woman from the Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University, who loves poetry and **, has always stayed in 1994.

After Zhu Ling's case, the relevant units opened an investigation, and the truth was once "about to come out", and the biggest suspect was also locked, but the case could not be closed due to lack of evidence and other reasons. Since then, every time a similar case occurs, the case will cause heated discussions on the Internet, but until today, ** has not been brought to justice, and the truth has not been revealed.

On December 22, 2023, Zhu Ling died of a brain tumor attack at the age of 50.

In 1994, because of a case, there were also young people from Hebei who changed their fateNie Shubin

In August 1994, a ** homicide case occurred in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province: Kang Juhua, a 35-year-old female worker in Shijiazhuang Hydraulic Parts Factory, was reported missing, and at noon the next day, the victim's body was found in the cornfield behind the factory, and there was a bicycle beside her. The autopsy report showed that the deceased had suffered ** before his death.

In September, Nie Shubin, who also worked at a local factory, was summoned by the public security bureau in charge of the case, and was later detained and arrested as a suspect in the case. ** The basis for the arrest of Nie Shubin was mentioned by the masses, "he was riding a blue mountain bike".

The following year, Nie Shubin was sentenced to death. At that time, it was the 95th year of the crackdown, and the second instance "filed the case in the Provincial High Court on April 20, was arraigned on the 22nd, the verdict was issued on the 25th, the death penalty order was issued on the 26th, and the death penalty was killed on the 27th."

In the appeal, Nie Shubin repeated three times: "Please let me be a new person." ”

Until January 2005, the real murdererWang ShujinAs early as Xingyang, Henan Province, he was arrested, and was later transferred to Guangping County, Handan City, Hebei Province. During this period, Wang Shujin confessed to four ** murder cases and two ** cases committed between 1993 and 1995, including the "1994 rape and murder case in a cornfield in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang", and Nie Shubin was wronged.

In December 2016, the dust finally settled on Nie Shubin's case, and Nie Shubin was wronged and acquitted.

This year, Nie Shubin's mother Zhang Huanzhi is 73 years old, and she still remembers that after a trial in March 1995, she saw her son in the small room on the second floor of the court”

Zheng Chengyue, the former deputy director of the Guangping County Public Security Bureau, who was the first to disclose the "one case and two murders" incident to ** and overturned the case for Nie Shubin, recalled: "When I was in class at the (China) University of Political Science and Law in 95, I often heard Mr. Jiang Ping talk about the legalization and humanization of law enforcement. ”

On May 5, 2022, Zheng Chengyue passed away due to illness. In December of the following year, Zheng Chengyue's mentor, Professor Jiang Ping, a famous Chinese jurist, died at the age of 94. Luo Xiang, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, posted a Tibetan poem on his personal *** to mourn Jiang Ping, and the beginning of each sentence is connected as: "Jiangping is eternal, and the rule of law is in the world." ”

Fate is unpredictable. No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

June 6, 1994China Northwest AirlinesA B-2610 Tu-154 aircraft will fly Flight 2303 from Xi'an to Guangzhou.

On this day, it rained lightly in Xi'an, but it did not affect the flight. The crew are all "veteran drivers" with many flight experiences, and they have successfully completed many flights before without missing a single miss.

It was supposed to be a normal day.

At 8:13, passenger plane B-2610 took off from Xianyang International Airport. Twenty-four seconds after being off the ground, the crew reported that the plane was fluttering and constantly making abnormal noises. Three minutes after takeoff, it flew over the urban area of Xi'an, and within a few minutes after that, the plane fluttered 20 degrees to 30 degrees, and by 8:17 it could no longer maintain the attitude of the aircraft. In the panic, the captain Li Gangqiang reported the situation to the ground tower command center three times through the radio walkie-talkie, saying:"Report, we have now completely lost manual control of the aircraft. ”

After that, the crew briefly turned on the autopilot, but still could not stabilize the plane, and the plane made an irregular turn to the right.

At 8:23, the runaway plane disintegrated at high altitude and then crashed into Mingqi Town, Chang'an County, Xi'an. There were 160 people on board, including 146 passengers and 14 crew members, all of whom were killed. The wreckage of the aircraft and the remains of the victims were scattered in wheat fields, rice paddies, fish ponds and river beaches within a two-kilometre radius.

This is a tragedy in the history of Chinese aviation.

After the incident, after investigation by the relevant departments, the cause of the accident ruled out factors such as explosives ** and man-made sabotage.

The truth of the matter is that before the plane took off, two plugs on the autopilot mount were plugged into each other backwards. This action caused the aircraft to sway uncontrollably after takeoff, and eventually disintegrated in mid-air due to the movement of the aircraft beyond the capacity of the aircraft's structure. At that time, China's civil aviation department had limited conditions, and lacked experience in repairing and maintaining passenger aircraft and taking measures to prevent mistakes in emergency situations.

Beyond the sky, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the earth, another "accident" is also happening.

In 1994, the first celestial impact event in the solar system was observed.

In mid-to-late July, it was named"Shoemaker-Levy 9".The comet collided with Jupiter, with a yield equivalent to 750 times the total global nuclear reserves, and the "scars" left by the impact could be observed for months afterward.

This also confirms Jupiter's title of "space vacuum cleaner". The largest planet in the solar system is 2,000 to 8,000 times more likely to have a comet impact than Earth, and without Jupiter, the chances of other planets in the solar system being hit by celestial bodies would be greatly increased, and it might be difficult for Earth to give birth to complex life.

Perhaps, the birth of humanity itself was an "accident".

Back on Earth, it was a year of bright stars.

June 17, 1994World Cup in the United StatesThe opening match started as scheduled.

The emergence of teams such as "Germany" and "Russia" reflects the changes in the political landscape of the world over the past few years.

By July 17, the South American giantsBraziland strong teams in EuropeTeam ItalyStood on the stage of the finals.

ItaliansBaggioIn this World Cup, he carried the whole game, saved the Italian team from fire and water many times, and after coming to the final of the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, the Italian team fought with the Brazilian team until the 120th minute. The two sides went on penalties, and with Italy already playing two, Baggio was the last to come on, and he had to score this penalty.

Whistle blows, bang on the door!

The crowd watched Baggio's spot-kick fly over the crossbar and erupt in the cheers of the Brazilians, leaving the ponytailed blue Italian with a lingering melancholy back.

In 1994, there was also good news for Chinese football.

This year, it has been established for 5 yearsChinese Football League A Group A(the predecessor of the Chinese Super League), established a professional model and launched the first professional league. The fierce competition brought by the market once made the football game more exciting, and the large number of outstanding talents cultivated in the next few AA sessions also brought the Chinese team into the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

In 1994,Dalian Wandawon the first championship after the reform of the professionalism of the A-League, and then dominated the A-League for a time.

A few years later, Wanda announced that it had parted ways with Dalian and retired from football. At the press conference, Wanda's boss said angrily: "The Chinese professional football league has been running for 5 years, and although there has been progress, there are too many dark sides on the field ......Based on the current situation, it is not possible to engage in football, so I officially announce that after this year's league, Wanda will withdraw from Chinese football forever as a sign of **.

In 1994,Chinese men's basketball teamOr the hegemon of Asia.

In this year's Men's Basketball World Championships, the Chinese team was divided into the "Group of Death", and the three opponents in the group stage were the United States team led by the "Dream II Team", the European powerhouse Spain team and the South American powerhouse Brazil team.

In this World Championships, Hu Weidong, Gong Xiaobin, Sun Jun, Liu Yudong, Li Nan and other "**generation" players were not afraid of strong opponents, and broke through from the group stage for the first time and broke into the quarterfinals. Among them, the Jedi ** against the Spanish team has always been talked about.

In 1994,12th Asian GamesWhen I came to Japan, Asian athletes gathered in Hiroshima.

In the competition, which lasted for half a month, the Chinese delegation to:125 gold, 83 silver, 58 bronzeHe is far ahead in the medal table.

But for many Chinese viewers, the biggest controversy of the Asian Games came in the women's singles final of table tennis on October 13. The two players against each other are Deng Yaping of the Chinese team and Tomori Koyama of the Japanese team.

Tomo-ori Koyama, formerly known asHo Chi LiWhen she was on the Chinese table tennis team, she was the No. 1 seed in the world women's table tennis, but in the eyes of the leadership, she was known for being "disobedient". Five years before the Asian Games in Hiroshima, Ho Zhili married an engineer in Osaka, Japan, and took her husband's surname, and then represented Japan in competitions.

At the Hiroshima Asian Games, He Zhili defeated Chinese Taipei's Chen Jing and Qiao Hong of the Chinese team in a row, entered the finals, and competed for the gold medal with Deng Yaping, and finally won the gold medal.

Since the strength and conditions of the Japanese table tennis team are far inferior to those of the Chinese team, the famous writer Ye Yonglie said in his evaluation of the game that this time it was a small self-employed person who defeated a large state-owned company.

Chinese fans were very disgusted with He Zhili representing the Japanese team, especially when they saw her shouting "Yo West" in Japanese after every goal she won.

Until around the turn of the millennium, criticism of He Zhili still caused heated discussions from time to time, and later gradually faded out of the news field with her retirement.

In 1994, if you want to describe it in the words of an old artist, it is"Stylistic and stylistic blossoms".

This year, many international classics that have been recorded in the history of film have made their debut, among which there are familiar ones"Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", "Vulgar**", "The Lion King".Wait.

This year, Chinese films also showed world-class strength.

One of the representatives of the "fifth generation of directors".Zhang Yimou, in this year he sold his masterpiece"Alive".

Zhang Yimou believes that Yu Hua's original work ** has the unique Chinese outlook on life of "no worries about debts, no resentment and no hatred". His feeling after reading ** was: "Seeing that at the end, Fugui led an old cow and walked away slowly at dusk, I thought, hey!."Interestingly, after experiencing so many pains and disasters in life, in the end he walked away calmly alone, such a kind of bearing of fate will sublimate people with a feeling. ”

In May 1994, the film "Alive" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Although Zhang Yimou wanted to tell the story of the past as easily as possible, he still made many people cry. Male leadGe YouWith his superb acting skills, he became the first Chinese actor to win the Cannes Best Actor.

After "Alive" shined at the Cannes Film Festival, in September 1994, the Venice Film Festival, which is also one of the three major international film festivals next door, also gave birth to a Chinese actor - only 18 years oldSummer rains

It was also a sunny day for Chinese films.

The "King of Comedy" of Hong Kong films in the 90sStephen Chow, three masterpieces were launched in the year:"Jiupin Sesame Official", "King of Destruction", "Domestic Lingling Paint".。Later, his works continued to be disseminated on television and the Internet, bringing joy to countless audiences for 30 years.

Another representative of Hong Kong cinemaWong Kar-wai, known for its slow work and meticulous work, but in 1994 there were two movies:"East Evil and West Poison", "Chongqing Forest".。Of course, the reason why these two movies were released in the same year may be because the former took too long to shoot, and it took 3 years to shoot. So, after this year, the audience remembered Ouyang Feng's sorrow, as well as the can of canned pineapples that were about to expire.

This year, the two "kings of kung fu" are in the year of fighting, and Jackie Chan has it"Drunken Fist 2" and "Red Fan Zone"., Jet Li has"Jingwu Heroes" and "New Shaolin Five Ancestors".

In terms of TV dramas, 1994 will endure in the futureCCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".Start broadcasting.

The filming of the 94th version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" lasted 3 years and cost a huge amount of money700 million yuan, and the use of extras reached more than 400,000 people, which was unprecedented at that time.

94 edition of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Source: Film and television stills.

Although the investment in the play has 1700 million, but most of it is used for costumes, design, props, production, setting up venues, location selection, etc., and only about 5% is left, which is used for the expenses of the crew and the remuneration of the actors.

After three years of filming, the main actors (Tang Guoqiang, Bao Guoan, etc.) are only paid 225 yuan per episode.

Now, the salaries of celebrities are rising faster than housing prices, but few people can make a film and television drama with the attitude of polishing artwork like the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Jin Yong's martial arts drama is also one of the most remade themes in those years.

In addition to Hong Kong TVB, in 1994, Taiwan, China launchedTaiwan TV version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".。Revisiting this version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", you will find that not only the plot has been changed very interestingly, but the casting is also very storytelling.

At that time, Ye Tong originally only played Yin Susu, and the role of Zhao Min was Yuan Jieying, but Yuan Jieying wanted to transform into a singer and release records at that time, so she pushed this role. Ye Tong had no choice but to agree to the crew's request and continue to play Zhao Min.

Because her role as Xu Xian in the same period "The Legend of the New White Lady" is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many friends still don't understand why Zhang Wuji chose to spend the rest of his life with Zhao Min.

"Roaring Sect Leader" Ma Jingtao brought the heart-rending performance in Qiong Yao's drama to Zhang Wuji. Chen Xiaoxuan, who played "Xiao Zhao", later broke the news in "Kangxi is Coming" that he was frightened by his exaggerated acting skills at that time and went back to insomnia for several nights.

Of course, the most classic of this version is Sun Xing's version of Yang Xiao and Zhou Haimei's version of Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Haimei's version of Zhou Zhiruo really gave this character a soul, and was called "the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo" by many audiences. It is said that when Jin Yong saw her in person, he couldn't help but sigh: "I knew that it was you who would play Zhiruo, so I changed the ending to Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo together." ”

At the end of 2023, actor Zhou Haimei died at the age of 57 due to ineffective medical treatment. Now, the rivers and lakes of Jin Yong's martial arts have gradually disappeared.

In 1994, in the moving ** that came out on TV and tapes, some people remembered the masterpiece of campus folk songs"You at the Table"., someone remembered the good wishes"Peace be upon you"., someone remembered what was written to mom and dad"A Letter from Home"., Some people remember Andy Lau's most **** song in addition to "Wishing you prosperity"."Forget the Water of Love"., and some people remember the song that praises reform and opening up and the glory of all things"The Story of Spring".

On December 17, 1994, in less than half a month, the year ended.

On this day, the Hung Hom Sports Centre in Hong Kong was staged"Rock and Roll Chinese Music Power" concert, which is the climax of Chinese rock music.

This year, the pioneer of Chinese rock musicCui Jian, and launched a pioneer ** "Eggs under the Red Flag".

Two years ago, I signed a contract with Red Star ProductionZheng Jun, finally released his first ** "Naked", in which "Back to Lhasa" and "Cinderella" are still classic works by word of mouth.

This year, Moyan Culture signedDou WeiwithZhang Chu, respectively produced "Black Dream", "Junkyard" and "Lonely People Are Shameful" three **.

On December 17, 37 people, including the "Three Heroes of Magic Rock" and the Tang Dynasty Band, came to Hong Kong to perform.

The Hung Hom Stadium was packed, and the audience was crazy with excitement, going crazy for nearly three and a half hours.

The next day, RTHK** reported on the performance with an unprecedented layout:"Rock soul, shocking Xiangjiang" and "Hung Hom, very Chinese" ......

After a night of madness, people didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and everyone invariably asked a question:"What the hell is going on?”

Looking back now, for everyone who lived through 1994, what happened in that dream year?
