As one of the films of the "Yellow River Trilogy", the film "The Yellow River Into the Sea" uses the lens language of prose poetry, starting from the Yellow River, where the ice and snow have not melted, and the yellow river is flowing silently and deeply, telling the audience a new rural story full of humanistic pictures, with nostalgia, folklore, inheritance and revitalization.

The film focuses on the family of the old principal who insists on adhering to the rural primary school, and tells the beauty of human nature in the process of rural revitalization. Chekhov once said, "Everything about man should be clean, whether it is a face, a garment, a heart, a mind." "Every character in this movie is full of human kindness, the protagonist old principal dedicated his life to rural education, he is the spiritual force of the whole village, in the hustle and bustle of the world quietly adhere to the position of rural education."
The two sons of the old headmaster, the eldest son, although mentally handicapped, is full of ardent love for anyone and small animals, and when the little sparrow dies, he will cry bitterly and bitterly, and treat the small dog (a dog unique to the Guanzhong Plain, which the locals use to pick up rabbits, which is shown in the film) as a baby, and everything in his eyes is only beautiful. The younger son studied in the city's teacher's college, and the common pursuit with the two unsuspecting and like-minded lovers was to jump out of the farm, but when the rural primary school taught by his father was facing the dilemma of being abolished, he chose to return to the countryside to support his father. When the older brother gave his life to save the children who fell into the Yellow River, the younger brother was more determined to stay, and finally contributed with his lover to the prosperity of the countryside and the education of the children. The village party secretary, the president of the jujube cooperative, the wife of the old principal, each of the main characters in the movie vividly reflects the deep simplicity and deep affection of the Weibei people on the yellow river.

The film is not only a story about the revitalization of rural economy and education, but every scene in the film is a real reproduction of rural culture. The Guanzhong granary in the picture, the thin dogs and rabbits in the fields in winter, the Qin cavity that the characters in the play roar out of their mouths, and the Old Weinan Dialect in which the villagers express joy during the harvest of red dates, all of which are vivid Weibei folk customs, vividly showing the human feelings of the vast Guanzhong area.
The use of movies to convey the nostalgia, about the father, about education, about responsibility and responsibility, and the characters and living conditions of the new rural style under the Guanzhong Plain fed by the Mother River of China, is also the feeling that Shi Jia, the producer of the movie "The Yellow River Flows into the Sea", wants to express.

As a media person who has been practicing for more than 20 years, Shi Jia has taken the fate and experience of people under the times as his responsibility since his first news collection "The Cry of the Lungs" twenty years ago. He was my classmate and friend, and over the years, I could always feel a kind of strength in him. He always chooses to constantly re-examine himself, and spares no effort to introduce and promote the urban culture and rural style of life around him and under his feet, and even the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, and Silk Road civilizations that have accumulated thousands of years of civilization from Chang'an to Xi'an, and spread them to every corner of the world.
"I want to go to the next level." The Yellow River is turbulent and deep, the river flows into the sea, rushing endlessly, in the land it flows through, the Yellow River nourishes and infiltrates the people on the banks of the Yellow River in its own way. For thousands of years, what has remained unchanged here is that the mountains and rivers are still the same, and human nature is the same. It is also this stoic nostalgia and love that has created the beauty and warmth of the land under the feet of the people of Weibei Zaoxiang. (Author Wen Xing)
