it is understood that since the launch of the juncao foreign aid project in 2001, my country has now promoted the application of juncao technology to more than 100 countries and regions around the world. this spirit of "the world is for the public" and "teaching people how to fish" has been fully demonstrated in the tv series. as the story of "happy grass" taking root around the world, juncao has been included in the key support projects of the special funds for cultural industry development in 2023 of the central propaganda department, the key points of the work of the state administration of radio, film and television in 2023, and the key implementation of the "belt and road" theme tv series project. it is also the first tv series work of the new era literary and artistic tour activity "keeping pace with the times and being united with the people" grandly launched by the central propaganda department. therefore, from the beginning of its creation, "happy grass" has shouldered the important mission of enhancing the understanding and recognition of china's foreign aid cause by domestic and foreign audiences, promoting mutual understanding and respect under different cultural backgrounds, and stimulating the attention and thinking of all sectors of society on international cooperation and common development.
at the meeting, zhu yonglei, deputy director of the state administration of radio, film and television, said that the successful broadcast of "happy grass" has brought three important inspirations to the creation of theme tv series: first, tv series have great potential in telling chinese stories to the world and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. second, rooting in the people and rooting in life has always been the most fundamental, critical and reliable creation method for tv series. third, vigorously implementing the boutique strategy is an important way to promote the overall prosperity of content creation and production and the overall improvement of quality.
foreign aid of juncao is a national strategy and a grand proposition. in such a big context, how to make the tv series "happy grass" real and touching enough? the main creative team chose to start from a "small incision", using the family emotional relationship of each character to connect the emotional links at home and abroad, and then through the delicate and subtle plot design, truly reproduce the bits and pieces of foreign aid work, so as to establish a foundation of empathy with the audience.
recalling this creative journey of "breaking the problem and solving the problem", director bai tao said: "'happy grass' is the most difficult, torturous and dangerous drama i have ever filmed. however, this creative process also made the creative team deeply understand what the juncao spirit is. only works created with such psychological feelings can truly resonate with the audience."

guo tao, who plays the protagonist "li changhuan" in the play, said, "i interpret the character of li changhuan with respect. he not only shoulders the scientist's persistent pursuit of technology, but also has a deep concern for human well-being. at the same time, he is also an ordinary father. the emotional presentation between him and his daughter reflects the microcosm of the 'small family' of countless workers struggling on the front line."
professor lin zhanhui, the inventor and promoter of juncao technology, is also a loyal viewer of "happy grass". at the seminar, he fondly reviewed his 41-year scientific research journey and said, "the juncao industry is still in a rapid development stage. no matter how high the mountains are, how dangerous the roads are, or how long the road is, as long as we are not afraid of difficulties and move forward courageously, we will surely reach the glorious other side. this is also the spiritual core of the tv series "happy grass", which further strengthens our confidence and determination to continue to walk the path that our predecessors have not walked."
li ming, director of the international cooperation department of the national international development cooperation agency, shared the expectations of countless foreign aid workers, "china's foreign aid is mainly to win people's hearts, and people are made of flesh and blood. this is not an exchange of interests, but it is more lasting and precious than an exchange of interests. in the future, i hope that we can work together to further tap into high-quality foreign aid publicity resources such as juncao foreign aid, innovate ideas and methods, and make suggestions for telling china's foreign aid stories well."
