Literature has power, and the mountain towns welcome great changes. In the 50s of the 20th century, the people's writer Zhou Libo once wrote a beautiful vision in the novel "Great Changes in the Mountain Township": "I want to dress up Qingxi Township through my hands, beautify it, and turn it into a beautiful garden......" Today's Qingxi Village has brought beauty from the manuscript into reality - the six-episode documentary "Qingxi Village - Great Changes in the Mountains and Towns in the New Era" will be launched on Mango TV and Hunan Satellite TV from today, the documentary tells the story of Qingxi Village taking literature as its soul and striving to build a nationally renowned "literary village" in the practice of rural revitalization in the new era, and also shows the unique charm and vitality of Chinese villages.
In Qingxi Village, literature seems to be an innate love, deeply imprinted in everyone's genes. The documentary "Qingxi Village: Great Changes in the Mountains and Towns in the New Era" is guided by Mr. Zhou Libo's beautiful vision, delicately depicts the deep relationship between Qingxi and literature, and focuses on the development of Qingxi Village, Xie Lingang Town, Yiyang City, hoping to reflect the vigorous development of literature in the new era and arouse the vitality of the mountain towns with vivid stories. According to the main creator, this documentary will closely follow the narrative axis of "great changes", take "development" as the final point, and carefully extract the six iconic elements of Qingxi Village from the literary classic "Great Changes in the Mountains and Towns" - books, houses, streams, lights, bamboo, and roads as the theme clues, which respectively carry the six themes of "literary village, rural landscape, ecological improvement, grassroots governance, industrial revitalization, and road confidence".
From the people's writer Zhou Libo to the writer Yu Yan in the new era, they have been working tirelessly, using words as a medium to record the changes and revitalization of the countryside. In the eyes of the creators, from the poetic pastoral of villager Deng Chunsheng to the literary dream of Bu Xuebin, the owner of Libo Book House, every corner of Qingxi Village is filled with the breath of literature, and this atmosphere is the epitome of the cultural style of the mountain township in the new era, and it is also an inexhaustible driving force to promote the sustainable development of the village.
"In this documentary, you can witness the unique charm of the writers' bookstore community in Qingxi Village, and feel the rich cultural atmosphere of 'there must be a book fragrance within a hundred steps'. In addition, according to the main creator, in this work, you can also witness the gorgeous transformation of the style of the houses in Qingxi Village, and experience the "tens of millions of Ande mansions" brought by cultural empowerment, "People and the countryside, a two-way rush across the times, is being staged on the land of Qingxi Village". In the documentary "Qingxi Village-Great Changes in the Mountains and Towns in the New Era", the creators also used the camera to tell the story of "painting 'poetry and distance' from generation to generation, for example, you can see how the older generation of Qingxi people witnessed and participated in the vicissitudes of Qingxi Village; How Peng Yuxia, the prototype of the village, promoted the development of the rural cooperative movement with firm belief and persistent efforts; how Deng Renyou, the old branch secretary of Qingxi Village, was committed to improving the quality and transformation of the village and striving to improve the overall image and taste of the village; and He Zhiang, who led the villagers step by step to break out of the great changes in the mountains and townships in the new era, took root in the grassroots for 12 years and recorded the story of the village's progress with 9 work notebooks.
Of course, through the records of the program team, you can also see the story of Qingxi people in the new era with new ideas and technologies, devoting themselves to rural revitalization and watering the fields of hope with wisdom and sweat. For example, Deng Xudong, a deputy to the Hunan Provincial People's Congress and a young returnee, promoted his hometown through short videos and live broadcasts, and transformed his family farm to develop ecological agriculture; Ouyang Peng, a white-headed "post-85" generation, was influenced by Zhou Libo's spirit and chose to stay in Qingxi Village to spend the best time of his youth; Xu Ying, a Spanish-speaking bookstore administrator, used the bookstore as a starting point and used Spanish as a bridge to spread the beauty of his hometown to the world. "We can witness how the power of literature stimulates the vitality of rural revitalization, and at the same time, we can discover how culture profoundly nourishes the spiritual core of rural development. In the eyes of the creators, the changes in Qingxi Village are not only reflected in the physical space visible to the naked eye, but also deeply reflected in the ardent yearning and pursuit of a better life in the depths of people's hearts.
