1 Million and Silence: Zhang Guimei's "silent" showdown with two films
The picture comes from the Internet
In the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, charity and vanity fair are often intertwined, and there is only a thin line between truth and hype, when the spotlight is cast on a simple rural teacher, when two movies based on her are released one after another, a "silent" showdown about education, public welfare, film and reality quietly kicked off
The protagonist of the story is the legendary principal who uses her thin body to support the hope of the mountain girl - Zhang Guimei, who has dedicated her life to the cause of education, watering the flowers of the motherland with all her efforts, and in the face of two movies based on herself, she has shown a completely different attitude, which has aroused strong public curiosity and heated discussions

The Persistence Behind the Silence: The Rejection of a Film
In 2023, the movie "I Am a High Mountain" will be released, a movie based on Zhang Guimei, which should have been a touching tribute, but unexpectedly encountered the "cold reception" of the protagonist, Principal Zhang Guimei not only missed the premiere, but also publicly expressed that she "didn't care" about the movie

Silence often contains a thousand words, Zhang Guimei's refusal is not a denial of film art, but stems from her purity and persistence in the cause of education, in her world, education is not a talking point that can be entertained, let alone a tool to win attention, she does everything she can, just to give the girls in the mountains a chance to change their fate, rather than putting their lives on the screen and becoming the object of consumption
"I'm not a star, I'm just an ordinary teacher" is Principal Zhang Guimei's response to all the attempts to push her into the spotlight, she knows that she is shouldering the heavy responsibility of education, not the pursuit of fame and fortune, she chooses to devote all her energy to the school and children, rather than lose herself in the world of light and shadow

Enthusiasm & Recognition: Another Cinematic Embrace
In stark contrast to the "cold reception" of "I Am a Mountain", Principal Zhang Guimei showed great enthusiasm and support for another film based on her, "When the Mountains Are Blooming", and she not only actively cooperated with the filming, but also established a deep friendship with the crew

What is the reason for this educator who sticks to his original intention to have a very different attitude towards the two films? The answer may lie in the values and understanding of education conveyed by the film itself
"When the Mountains Are Blooming" does not exaggerate personal heroism, but focuses on the girls who are eager for knowledge and desire to change their fate in the depths of the mountains

This return to the essence of education and the concern for the fate of the individual deeply moved Principal Zhang Guimei, who saw the filmmaker's sincerity to the cause of education, and also saw the positive and hopeful power conveyed by this film
Controversy and embarrassment: When the halo of stars meets the reality test
The picture comes from the Internet
The release of "I Am a High Mountain" not only pushed Principal Zhang Guimei to the forefront of public opinion, but also put the leading actor Haiqing in an embarrassing situation
How to grasp the scale and how to distinguish between public welfare and performance is a question worth pondering, when the halo of celebrities is too dazzling, and when the components of the performance overshadow the original intention of public welfare, it is easy to arouse public doubts and disgust
The picture comes from the Internet
Haiqing's performance in "I Am a High Mountain" may not be intentional, but objectively it has caused a kind of "noisy" effect, and the audience's attention is more focused on her performance, while ignoring the educational theme that the film itself wants to convey and the spirit of Principal Zhang Guimei's lifelong struggle
Donations and accolades: another expression of public welfare

In stark contrast to Haiqing, actor Song Jia, who played Principal Zhang Guimei in the movie "When the Mountains Are Blooming", chose to express her support for public welfare in another way, and she donated 1 million yuan to the girls' high school founded by Principal Zhang Guimei in her personal name to improve the school's teaching conditions and students' living environment
Song Jia's donation, without too much exaggeration or hype, has won unanimous praise from the public, and her good deeds are not only a support for Principal Zhang Guimei's education, but also a pure expression of public welfare
The picture comes from the Internet
Public welfare, not only a form of donation, more important is a sincere love and a persistent action, Song Jia proved with practical actions that the real public welfare, not in the amount of donations, but in the sincerity of action and perseverance
1,000,000 vs. silence, two choices, two attitudes
The picture comes from the Internet
1 million and silence, seemingly incompatible, but reflects two completely different values, Haiqing's performance, perhaps to better interpret the role, but in the end fell into an embarrassing situation of "performance is greater than content", and Song Jia's donation is a more pure, more direct expression of public welfare, she uses practical actions to prove that the real public welfare is not in the form, but in the heart
President Zhang Guimei's different attitudes towards the two films have also triggered our thinking about public welfare, film art and the role of stars, public welfare should not become a tool to win attention, let alone a means for stars to package themselves, movies should assume social responsibility, record the truth with the lens, and convey the moving with stories, stars, should use their influence to guide more people to pay attention to public welfare and participate in public welfare, rather than turning public welfare into a show
The picture comes from the Internet
1 million and silence, this "silent" showdown, ultimately points to our deep thinking about public welfare, art, and the value of life
