STATEMENT:
Although Cholpon's first plays in the field of drama appeared on the eve of the 20s, they were also small stage productions of the 1920 drama Yorqinoy. That is why Cholpon reworked the play and published it in 1926 as a book, as there was a need for works on local themes to be staged at the Uzbek Drama Studio in Moscow.
The play adds Cholpon's words of dedication: "I pay tribute to the CAMPY MOTHER who told the story in a sweet and rich language, which led to the writing of this work."
According to these words, on the basis of the play "Bright" lies a folk tale heard from Cholpon's "old mother". According to some sources, the play "Bright" reflects the events related to the Polatkhan uprising in Andijan. In our opinion, Cholpon may have heard a fairy tale about the Polatkhan uprising from his "old mother" in his youth and used this fairy tale in the creation of this work.
The wind of love begins between Polat, who was gardening at the residence of an immortal commander named Botir, and his Yorqinoy. Steel is an ordinary servant of this house, and Yorqinoy is a suitable bride for the princes, so the gardener wants to leave the house of the Immortal Hero, not believing that his love can end in a happy outcome. At that moment, Botir met Polat in private with Yorqinoy and accused him of dishonesty. Bright also forgets his honor and says he is ready to kill him for meeting a poor servant. Yorqinoy is also ready to die in the way of truth.
For the Immortal Hero and those like him, the truth was of two kinds: for themselves and for others. The truth that exists for them does not allow him to punish his only daughter, but the notion of truth for others opens the way for him to execute Steel at this very moment. It is clear that the Immortal Hero, who lived with such a belief, was not an honest man, but a tyrant and a bloodthirsty commander. Steel, who first confronts him and is forced to face him, wants to ask him who he and his father are, to find out about the fate of his ancestors. But suddenly it becomes clear that this is the most terrible secret of the Immortal Hero.
If we look at the basics of Cholpon’s creativity and social activities, we see that there is only one place of worship for him. This is the people. Where the people are, there is truth. That is why Cholpon did not choose the teaching profession that his father dreamed of, but devoted himself to the struggle full of hardships and sufferings for the happiness of the people. The meaning of life that Cholpon understood lies in Yorqinoy's renunciation of his father, whose "profession is worse than that of Gorkov" and his embrace of the people as the Commander of the Steel.
She loves him because he is spiritually close to Bright Steel, not only because he is an honorable, strong-willed young man, but also because he is ready to fight for the truth. Upon learning of the bloody deeds of his bright father, he abandons him and joins the struggle waged by Steel, making sure that the blood of Tomaris is stirring in his body.
Steel, together with his friends - the representatives of the poor people, and with the help of Yorqinoy, who was brought up in the traditions of war from a young age, defeated the khan's army and came to the top of the kingdom. But for Yorqinoy, the crown was not a throne, he needed Steel, who loved him and devoted his whole life to him. He is furious to see that Polat is spending the rest of his royal days in the presence of him, exhausted again, and hates the crown as well. Then Polat answers to Yorqinoy: "Behind the crown throne, there is a country, a hand, a people behind the throne, it is necessary to think about it, it is necessary to eat its grief"
These fiery words are a logical conclusion to be drawn from the events described in the play. We see that in this work, Cholpon created a work imbued with a modern important idea, using the traditions of folk-heroic epics.
