I believe friends born in the 1970s should all remember this animated short. In the early 1980s, television had only about three channels: CCTV, provincial TV stations, and local stations. It was a time of extreme scarcity in both material and cultural life, where everything seemed fresh and TV programming was relatively monotonous. Thus, some imported dubbed films and Hong Kong-Taiwan productions introduced during the early stages of reform and opening up often created scenes of "empty streets." Aside from the dull lectures from TV universities, there were also domestically produced animations that played repeatedly, some even worn out from overuse. Back then, commercials were few, and art films, educational films, and the like became tools to fill programming gaps. Occasionally, an animation would appear, only to be abruptly cut off and replaced by the next program. "Wine Calamity" was one such animated short that aired countless times during that era. Though only about ten minutes long, it carries the memories of an entire generation. Unfortunately, after that specific period, the film vanished without a trace, remaining lost to this day. While many Shanghai Animation Film Studio productions have been released, the collection is incomplete. Even with those aired on Shanghai Toonmax TV channel, some have slipped through the cracks, leaving us with only the majority. Although nostalgia is currently in vogue, most people tend to focus only on the "things everyone knows." But then again, when "Wine Calamity" was broadcast, classics like "Calabash Brothers," "The Monkey King Conquers the Demon," and "The Adventures of the Slob" had yet to be released.
