The film has been filmed for two years since 2021, and this theatrical version is a remastered version of the two-year record, distributed by Kadokawa, and will be released in Japan from April 12. In the 111-minute film, the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River and the lives of the people along it deeply touched the hearts of the audience. The "Bang Bang Ke" who used a wooden stick to pick up the luggage for people at the wharf in Chongqing, the beautiful reflection of boating in Lugu Lake, the daughter of Yunnan, the growth story of the Shangri-La girl Cimu in Yunnan, and the first drop of snow melting at the source of the Yangtze River in Tibet...... In the past two hours, there are rich camera stories, and there are even touching scenes that make people cry with the people in the film.
After the premiere, Wu Jianghao, Chinese ambassador to Japan, took the stage to exchange views with Ryoka Takeuchi, who made a special trip from Shangri-La to Japan. On behalf of the Chinese Embassy, he thanked Ryo Takeuchi for allowing the audience to see the real life of the people along the Yangtze River in China and see the rapid changes in China. He also revealed that the "Jiang" in his name means the Yangtze River.
Zim, who came to Japan to promote the movie, interacted with Ryo Takeuchi on stage and talked about his feelings about Japan. She said that Japan is completely different from what she imagined, she used to think that Japan is a place full of two-story wooden houses, plus she flew from Kunming to Nagoya this time, these three words give her the feeling that there are many small houses, but after arriving in Japan, I found that it is the same as Shanghai.
At the exchange meeting
Born and raised in Shangri-La, where Takeuchi first filmed a documentary, she was a shy little girl who held a lamb every day and invited guests to take a photo with her lamb in the tourist area, which could charge 5 yuan. At that time, the crew invited her and her family to Shanghai to play, she saw the hotel in Shanghai, and set up a dream for herself to open a homestay in Shangri.
In the filming of "Meet the Yangtze River Again", she has really become the hostess of the homestay. This time, the crew even brought her to Japan. Japanese viewers who watched the film at the premiere told her that they wanted to go to her homestay.

Japan's "AERA" magazine called the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake in the film "At an altitude of 2,800 meters, very close to the sky, a hand-rowed boat floats on the water, because of the reflection of the clear lake, as if looking up at a small boat floating in the air." ”
