In the TV series "New World", there was a shortage of materials in Beiping during this period, and many people could not afford to eat. However, the lives of ordinary people in the play are still relatively stable and there is no shortage of food. I don't think this situation in the play is in line with history.

There are many scenes in the play in which Mei Lan's family eats dregs. Before Xiao Duo died, Lin Tie went to Dao Meilan's house, Xu Tian went to Dao Meilan's house and Tian Dan went to Dao Meilan's house. In these plots, Dao Meilan made them noodles with squeezed sauce. By today's standards, it is not surprising to eat slag noodles. But don't forget, it is the eve of liberation, and Beiping has entered a period of material shortage. Speaking of slag river noodles, it is still a good food. There is also a scene where Jinhai goes to Dao Meilan's house after work, and Dao Meilan cuts one or two pieces of meat. But from the photo, there are tomatoes and Chinese cabbage on the kitchen table of Dao Meilan's house, and garlic and pepper are hung on the wall. The oncoming scene is that her family life is still good.

In the play, the three brothers went out to eat many times. In the scene, there are still a few people eating in the streets of Beiping, which shows that the living standards of the people in Beiping are not low, as if the siege of the People's Liberation Army had no influence on Beiping. I think this is also unrealistic and inconsistent with real history.

In the corner of the vegetable market, Shen Shichang asked Changgen to buy fish, and Changgen went to the vegetable market, which was more lively. Not only are many vendors selling fresh vegetables, but several customers stopped before the company commander went to buy a fish stall. Perhaps it is the coming New Year, and people in Beiping are hoarding new year's goods. However, this is so different from history. It is described in the play that the life of ordinary people in Peiping is still very beautiful at this time. People can eat and stroll in the vegetable market. In the morning, he can go out to eat a rubber ring and drink a bowl of bean juice, which I think is a bit out of line with history.

This is the situation in the TV series and the reflection of most people at that time. It can be seen that the people at that time ate steamed corn, pickles and white flour. The conditions are not bad, but they can basically bear it, as can be seen from Dao Meilan's house. The living conditions of the middle and upper classes are good, including fish, meat, fruit, cakes and snacks. However, due to the general environment at that time, the overall conditions were limited and the living conditions were still very limited.
