"After 25 years, when I return to the green mountains and green waters, there are memories everywhere I look. The place where I was was filmed in 1999 was the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the deep pool and the search for the sword. An underwater camera lens took two days to shoot, jumped N times, and finally hung 25 kilograms of lead on his body before he successfully bottomed out and completed the shooting. The Qing Ying Sword dragged a sexual spirit that was never willing to be willing to be ordinary and ordinary things to settle in the waterfall, and the leap was forever... Time has passed, the old place has been revisited, things are not people... Fortunately, Li Mubai's play taught "Sharp, not long-lasting", "Don't help, don't grow, shouldn't be different", "Always accompany and always new!" Zhang Ziyi said in a Weibo post on May 5, 2024.
Time flies, classic and eternal. 25 years later, Zhang Ziyi returned to the Emerald Valley during the "May Day" holiday, which once witnessed the filming location of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which once awakened that beautiful memory.

All the actors showed a high level of professionalism during the filming. In particular, Zhang Ziyi jumped many times in the clip "Looking for a Sword in the Deep Pool", although the water in the valley was cold and biting, she did not complain and insisted on completing the shooting, this professional attitude and hard work are admirable. Zhang Ziyiqing's leap under the sword not only jumped into the hearts of every fan, but also engraved the beautiful scenery of the Emerald Valley in every frame of the movie.
