What happens

《燃燒歲月》(英語:A Time of Taste,原名:常滿樓)是香港電視廣播有限公司製作的跨時代史詩劇,橫跨清代、民國、文革及現代。本劇劇情感人細膩,演員演出亦十分出色,首播時已受到視評人和不少觀眾的好評,惟劇種始終較為另類,導致收視未如理想。劇集播出期間,收視亦遭亞洲電視當時同以文化大革命為題材的電視劇《還看今朝》比下去。 故事由清帝退位說起,劇中人經歷民國成立、日本侵華,到中华人民共和国成立后的公私合营,以至大躍進、文化大革命、上山下鄉等時代,刻劃出中國内地老百姓在大時代巨變下,種種悲歡離合的故事。 多年後,不少劇中演員如劉青雲和鄭伊健曾公開表示此劇是他們演出過最喜歡的電視劇。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
