64 years ago today, on June 22, 1961 (May 10, 1961, the lunar calendar), Premier Zhou proposed to select the "22nd Top Stars" of China Films. They were once symbols of an era; their photos were once treasures in a generation's photo album; the films they starred in condensed the history of New China films from birth to growth... They are the top 22 movie stars that are still deeply remembered today. The term "Top 22 Stars" is no stranger to middle-aged and elderly viewers in their 40s and 50s. In the early 1960s, large-scale black and white photos of 22 outstanding male and female film actors in high spirits were hung in some urban cinemas in our country. We are familiar with these actors; we have seen the movies they starred in; time flows, but the past passes; Let us experience the unparalleled beauty of dreams and songs through stories on and off the screen... What passes by is the old traces, and what is remembered in our minds is the eternal influence. The influence and appeal of classic movies and famous movie stars are endless throughout our lives and generations. The once-familiar faces, once-familiar plots, and the movie stories that were once stored deep in memories and clearly unforgettable are all in the hearts of audiences of different ages. Different brilliance, Sadness and beauty. In June 1961, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Ministry of Culture of the State Council simultaneously held the "National Symposium on Literary and Art Work" and the "National Feature Film Creation Conference" at the Xinqiao Hotel in Beijing, the capital. The purpose was to implement the eight-character policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment and improvement" proposed by the central government, summarize the experience and lessons since the "Great Leap Forward" Movement, improve the leadership methods for literary and artistic work, and discuss relevant regulations on literary and artistic work and film creation. This is the famous "New Overseas Chinese Conference" in China's literary and artistic circles and film circles. Because the main venues of the "Two Sessions" were held at the Xinqiao Hotel in the northwest corner of Beijing at the intersection of Chongwenmen, they got this name. On June 19, 1961, Premier Zhou Enlai delivered an important speech at the "New Overseas Chinese Conference". Premier Zhou talked about seven major programmatic issues, including "Material Production and Spiritual Production Issues","Class Struggle and the United Front Issues", and "Who to Serve".,"The Law of Literature and Art","Heritage and Creation Issues","Drama Issues", and "Leadership Issues". After this important speech, Premier Zhou invited some screenwriters, directors and actors from local film studios to have a discussion at his home in the Xihua Hall of Zhongnanhai on June 22. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Party, he personally visited Xiangshan with representatives attending the meeting. On the last day of the visit to Xiangshan, everyone had a relaxed and pleasant discussion with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister suddenly said solemnly: "Now our cinemas have photos of 22 famous Soviet stars hanging. It has been 12 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Why can't we hang photos of our own stars? We should have our own stars!" Premier Zhou mentioned the issue of stars for the first time. Subsequently, the four major film studios sent the list to the Prime Minister for review, and finally decided by the Ministry of Culture. Because photos of the "22 Big Stars" of the Soviet Union were hung in the halls at the entrances of major cinemas across the country, only 22 stars from China were selected. Premier Zhou selected the "22 Big Stars" one by one, mainly highlighting the team of veteran, medium and young actors in the film world of New China. Combined with those who were a sensation that year and aroused unprecedented repercussions among the people, he finally selected Zhao Dan, Bai Yang, Zhang Ruifang, Shangguan Yunzhu, Sun Daolin, Qin Yi and Wang Danfeng from Shanghai Film Studio; Xie Tian, Cui Wei, Chen Qiang, Zhang Ping, Yu Lan, Yu Yang and Xie Fang from Beijing Film Studio; Li Yalin, Zhang Yuan, Pang Xueqin and Jin Di from Changchun Film Studio; Tian Hua, Wang Xingang and Wang Xiaotang from the August 1st Film Studio; Zhu Xijuan from the Shanghai Youth Art Theater were named "New China People's Actors", commonly known as the "22nd Top Stars."
