The green counterattack of the "garbage village"
Suqian is one of the thirteen prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu that I contacted late. In the filming of the eight seasons of "Remember Homesickness", Southern Jiangsu, Middle-middle-, And Northern Jiangsu have always been your side singing and I appeared. In the Wu language area of southern Jiangsu, we shot the most. Accustomed to listening to the soft language of Wu Nong, accustomed to the small bridges and flowing water of the water townsmen, once he arrived in Suqian, which is located in northern Jiangsu, he spoke all the northern official dialects, and the food customs and personality were also bold and generous, and for a while he was in a trance, thinking that he had arrived in Shandong.
It was this kind of water and soil that gave birth to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. "Born as a master, dead as a ghost." Still thinking about Xiang Yu, he refused to cross Jiangdong. Although that history is long ago, the hero's story has always been sung in his hometown. After more than two thousand years of precipitation, every Suqian person has inherited the spirit of Xiang Yu in order to achieve his goal, not hesitating to break the boat and fight with his life.
Suqian, located at the junction of Suzhou and Anhui provinces, belongs to the Huanghuai River Basin Cultural Area, and the core area of Suzhou of Wu Culture is far away, although it was once the "Land of Longxing" of many dynasties, but in history, it has long been plagued by the wanton flow of the Yellow River and the Huai River, and its vitality has been seriously injured. The re-emergence will not wait until after 1949.
The Village of Liu Wei in Gengche Town, which we have chosen this time, is the representative of tens of millions of rural areas in northern Jiangsu. In the 1970s, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, they implemented the "drought to change water", through the construction of water canals, water diversion and dilution, the saline and alkali land that had not grown in the past was transformed into fertile land; by the 1980s, in order to enrich the pockets, they studied the southern Jiangsu model and formed the "Gengche model" of "two tracks, four-wheel drive, large factories, and small families" to set up township enterprises; however, the traditional growth model of enriching the pockets destroyed the ecology and sacrificed the environment did not work and did not go far. Therefore, everyone is determined to use environmental governance to guard the green water and green mountains, and exchange green development for jinshan yinshan.
Since then, succulent cultivation has become their new subject. In the eyes of many people, this is a difficult thing to choose, but as a descendant of Xiang Yu, in the eyes of the people of Liu Wei Village, who "making money is not a thing", scraping bones and healing wounds is a major event that can show the spirit. And these all reflect The spiritual culture of Xiang Yu's "dare to try and dare to create".
This time, we chose Liuwei Village, telling not only the story of the participants, not only a story of the rural areas of northern Jiangsu, but also the story of the development of thousands of Chinese villages. The use of "small narratives" to construct "big history", the change of individual fate, which reflects the great changes of the new era.
In addition to the content arrangement, we also made a lot of new attempts in the filming of this episode. In order to show the beauty implied by the "succulent", we chose to use a close-up macro lens to diversify its morphological appearance and living environment.
Due to the narrow shooting space, the angle of the conventional 100 micro lens is greatly restricted, so we chose the old frog 24mm probe lens. It can bring a wider perspective at macro, so that details and scenes can be taken into account at the same time. The unique shape of the probe can complete the picture design that many traditional lenses cannot do, giving the audience an uninterrupted sense of freshness, thus effectively disseminating the rural natural landscape culture and transmitting the ecological concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
