CCTV did not expect that it would become popular because of an animated program.
In this era where there was no Internet, landlines were rare items, and there were no ratings surveys, the important basis for CCTV to determine whether a program was popular or not was the letters from the readers.
In this era where pen pals were still very popular, TV viewers often wrote letters to the TV station. Some were written to the entire TV station, and some were written to individual TV programs to express their opinions. This became an important basis for the TV station to determine whether a program was popular or not.
For example, after the first Spring Festival Gala was broadcast, CCTV received more than 500,000 letters from viewers across the country, expressing their love for the Spring Festival Gala and other programs that they hoped to see.
Then, CCTV knew that the Spring Festival Gala was completely popular. Every year, everyone could feel the company of the Spring Festival Gala, and the Spring Festival Gala became the peak of CCTV. The year that they received the most letters was the 1987 Spring Festival Gala. This year's Spring Festival Gala received 920,000 letters from viewers, which was the absolute peak in the history of CCTV. Until now, no Spring Festival Gala had surpassed this record.
In fact, after 1900, CCTV rarely received letters. At that time, the most popular method was to send text messages.
Other than CCTV, there were very few programs that could receive more than 100,000 letters, excluding news broadcasts and focus interviews.
But no one would have thought that a children's program could receive more than 100,000 letters.
Since the 20th of June, Central TV had been receiving letters from all over the country. They were all addressed to the tangram program team.
At first, when the program team saw these letters, they were very happy because the number of letters received by the tangram program was relatively small compared to other programs. After all, the people who liked to watch tangram were basically children. It was unrealistic to expect children to write to the program team.
Not to mention receiving 100,000 letters in one episode, the tangram program would receive less than 100,000 letters in a year.
So when the tangram program team found out that they had received more than 10,000 letters in one day, they were very happy.
But soon, they couldn't be happy anymore. Because the next day, the post office used a small truck to deliver more than 50,000 letters to the tangram program. The directors felt that something was wrong.
On the seventh day, a week later, the tangram segment had received a total of 210,000 letters from all over the country. It could be said that it had set an unprecedented record for the tangram segment. It also made the other CCTV program team's eyes go wide. Fuck, even an episode of Focus Interview might not receive as many letters as the tangram segment!
Therefore, in addition to working hard every day, other people's tangram program team also had to open these letters to see what their dear viewers had written.
Then the directors were depressed, because these letters were all written to Tian Yujiao and Liu Qingmei. The audience watching TV was moved by these two strong girls.
Especially Liu Qingmei, her bald head and weak body, but she always had a strong and calm face. The audience couldn't resist at all. They were all moved to tears by Liu Qingmei.
They all encouraged Liu Qingmei in their hearts to be strong and live well. They all hoped that this strong girl would live well in this world.
However, because the program team didn't announce Liu Qingmei's address, these letters were sent to the program team.
In addition to all kinds of words of encouragement, there were also a lot of envelopes mixed with a large amount of RMB. Most of them were 15 cents, one or two yuan. Although it wasn't much, it was full of the love and pity of the people of the country.
In the end, all the donations added up to more than 100,000 yuan.
After careful consideration, the program team decided to forward all the letters to Liu Qingmei, including the RMB donations inside. These were the feelings of the people of the country to Liu Qingmei. Even if the people in the program team were bad people, they didn't want to keep this money.
Therefore, when Liu Qingmei saw such a large amount of money and more than 100,000 letters appear in front of her, one could imagine how shocked and touched Liu Qingmei was.
According to the nurse who took care of Liu Qingmei, Liu Qingmei secretly cried for an entire night. Her tears didn't stop, which touched all the nurses in the hospital.
After going out for an entire night, Liu Qingmei made a shocking decision.
First of all, she transferred all the donations from the people of the country to Jia Yapeng. This was because Jia Yapeng had created a charity foundation called "Pure White Angel" that specialized in treating leukemia patients. She donated all the money to this foundation.
Because Liu Qingmei said that she already had enough money to treat the illness, her family didn't lack money, so she hoped to donate this money to other leukemia patients who needed it more.
However, this wasn't the most shocking decision. The most shocking thing was that Liu Qingmei actually picked up a pen and decided to reply to all 100,000 letters.
This decision scared the surrounding nurses and doctors to death. This was 100,000 letters. Even if she replied to 100 letters a day, it would take her a thousand days, which was a full three years. How could Liu Qingmei, a leukemia patient, reply to so many letters?
However, Liu Qingmei insisted on doing this because she felt that others had given her kindness. If she didn't give them the same kind reply and let these kind people feel at ease, then she wouldn't be worthy of their kindness.
Therefore, Liu Qingmei insisted on writing 100 letters a day. Moreover, she didn't use a template. She insisted on reading them before writing, giving a reply of at least 100 words.
After hearing about this, Jia Jiayue and Jia Jiafeng simply went straight back to Liu Qingmei's house after school every day. The two of them helped Liu Qingmei reply to the letters.
At first, Liu Qingmei refused, but Jia Jiayue blurted out, "Even if you want to die, you won't be able to finish replying to these letters?" Liu Qingmei asked, "Do you want to die?" Liu Qingmei helplessly smiled bitterly and accepted the good intentions of the two sisters.
After Jia Yapeng learned of this matter, he was silent for a long time. This era might not be the most economically developed era, but it was definitely the era where people were the most simple and honest. It made him a little embarrassed to scam people out of money.
Most importantly, Jia Yapeng didn't expect that there would be such a ridiculous girl like Liu Qingmei in the world. And God only gave Liu Qingmei a life of ten years. This was too cruel.
"If only I could do something, it would be great. It wouldn't just be setting up a foundation!" Jia Yapeng said with a sigh. Now that Jia Yapeng had earned a lot of money, Jia Yapeng realized that he might really have to do something for this country and his lovely compatriots.
At the same time, with the broadcast of these two episodes, some witty snack shop owners suddenly found a huge business opportunity.
