the story of "Sesame Hutong" begins in 1947 at the pickle shop in Qinfangju, Peiping. It revolves around the boss Yan Zhensheng, the boss's wife Lin Cuiqing and all kinds of characters in the hutong. Everyone in the hutong has experienced the changes of the times of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. After careful taste, there is a wonderful group portrait play. The whole play not only tells the rise and fall of the traditional handicraft industry-the pickle industry, but also highlights the "sauce flavor" of the old Beijing through the detailed portrayal of different characters in Sesame Hutong and the Yan family.

Into a vivid Beijing hutong people. Although it is a "Beijing flavor" drama, the characters in the play are drawn from different occupations and types of people in real life, and the emotional resonance is universal. These ordinary people's love of life and the quality of solving difficulties with a positive attitude are rubbed into the characters of the play, across regional differences, and move the viewers. As for the grinding of the script, Liu Yan pays attention to "big things, accurate and small things". While the specific time events and seasons follow the development of facts, the characterization is very delicate from the outside to the inside, and the control of linear relief is also precise enough. such a delicate way of handling this show across several generations has a strong degree of authenticity and persuasion.

the group of characters for "Sesame Hutong" and "meritorious service" to enter the audience also need the power of "human heart"
apart from the discussion of the plot, what attracts the audience most is the fate of each character and their fate in Sesame Hutong. The three-dimensional character in the screenwriter Liu Yan's hand starts from "who says what". He not only pays attention to the heart of each character, but also takes into account the expression of different characters in the specific environment, that is, the influence of the big environment on the small potatoes. For Yan Zhensheng, played by he Bing, from the private boss to the public-private partnership to the factory director, coupled with the inherited experience of childhood, his patience and fear make the men of this four or nine cities look more authentic. Lin Cuiqing (Liu Bei) is a traditional old-style woman and a typical representative of modern Chinese women's suffering. her patience and release precisely become the place that worries the audience most in the play, while Niu Mu Chunhua (Wang ou) in the hutong is different. with the momentum and strong personality of women in the new era, she is the person who can best keep up with the pace of the times. Apart from the main characters, Liu Yan is also meticulous in depicting other roles, and the loyal but undefeated Xiao Heizi (played by Hou Yu) reflects the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature. Yan Kuan (Chi Jia), who has been selected all the time, represents the growth and maturity of the characters. Baofeng, Xiu Ma, Baoxiang and other "sesame hutong" characters always have their own fulcrum and become lovely people in the eyes of the audience. For these characters who were born in their own works, screenwriter Liu Yan said frankly that he should give the character rich content in the creativity of words, and then rely on the performance of the actors and the production of the whole team. a chewy play will safely fall into the hearts of the common people.
Drama is like life, something happens all the time, and these things are inseparable from the role of people. Behind shaping a complete role is the observation of daily life, the objective treatment of the actual situation, and the promotion of positive mainstream values. Using "people" to speak human words and using roles to resonate with the audience is another key to the high ratings and strong reputation of "Sesame Hutong".
