After the release of "Ip Man 4", the girl who played Tai Chi in it, Wan Ruonan, exploded a bunch of Yan dogs on the ground:
"The girl is good-looking!"
"Mixed-race Miss Yan sister killed me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The little sister who plays her is named Li Wanda, who is 16 years old this year.
Delicate and straight eyes and nose, wild eyebrows that are the envy of bald people, and a healthy beige complexion,
All of them undoubtedly added to her the characteristics of salt that exude heroism and sweetness with a little wildness.
Many people look more and more familiar, and after rummaging through their memories, they finally find:
Isn't this the little girl who appeared on "China's Got Talent" /"Every Day Upwards"/"Happy Girl" a few years ago?
That was the first time Li Wanda stood in front of the stage.
Growing up in Xishuangbanna, she and her sister went out of their homes to protect the rainforest and were called "rainforest spirits" by the audience.
Their family is not a big star, but it is a hero in the hearts of countless people:
It took more than a decade to plant more than 3 million trees in the wasteland of Yunnan, expanding the local forest coverage rate from 16% to 60%, and successfully reconstructing the "rainforest ecological microclimate".
Stars such as Jackie Chan, Chen Kun, and Zhou Xun continue to join their ranks, and the United Nations Development Programme also awarded them the "China Is Beautiful Because of You" award.
Li Wanda, who was 9 years old at the time, told the story that touched countless people in the show. The innocent and fearless voice made three wishes:
To fly up to the sky to talk to Dad, to protect the earth and the rainforest, and the world to be safe.
In 1999, Wanda's father Ma You and mother Li Minguo fell in love at first sight at work.
At that time, Mayu, an ecology expert in Germany, had saved a dying rainforest in the Philippines and won the Philippine government's presidential award.
His next target is Yunnan.
Li Minguo is a journalist who grew up in Xishuangbanna and has been working for 10 years, and has been to Tibet, Nepal, Egypt...
The first time the two meet, Mayu says he "seems to have seen an elf coming out of the wilderness."
He asked her for coffee, ran to the hotel lobby to improvise for her, and even proposed that night.
Li Minguo also agreed. "If he dares to ask, I dare to give."
He also wrote a poem: one step earlier spring buds do not sprout, and one step later miss the valley flowers.
Romantic and efficient again, which is like a match made in heaven for CP.
After getting married, Li Minguo understood what his hometown was going through from Ma You's research.
She resigned to keep up with her husband and built a home by the Mekong River, named "Mekong Villa".
It also rented around 10,667 square meters of land planted with rubber forests.
Then, cut down all the trees.
Because of its super water absorption, rubber trees have become "notorious" and are known as "pumpers" and "green deserts".
It will not only accelerate the depletion of local water sources, but also make the humid and hot climate dry and hot.
The large-scale planting of such tree species on the land, the problems of the trees themselves and the planting of single plants have broken the ecological balance of the original rainforest.
Many years ago, the primitive species of Xishuangbanna had a difficult life.
What Mayu has to do is to start from the bottom plant and restore its original ecological circle step by step.
Husbands are responsible for studying soil and trees and cultivating flowers and plants, and wives are running for financial burdens — labor, seedlings, saplings and equipment, all of which cost money.
Two years of hard work, in exchange for everything gradually took shape.
This place, which was originally full of rubber trees, finally has a new tree more than 30 meters high when the rainy season comes, the tree is full of delicate orchids, and countless small animals that "croak" are gathered under the trees.
In 2001, the eldest daughter Li Linda was born in this paradise, the English name is "Linda", which means "super beautiful".
When Dad specially used this name, he newly cultivated an orchid as a birthday celebration for the little princess.
Two years later, the second daughter, Li Wanda, was born and named "Vanda" in English.
Her father also wrote a poem for her: Take time to bloom, stay pretty forever (May the little daughter bloom slowly like Bandailan, forever beautiful).
When Wanda was 3 years old, The Mayous planned to further expand their experimental area.
They rented 4,444,440 square meters of rotational land from the villagers of Brown Mountain in Xishuangbanna and established the first Chinese folk biodiversity conservation area.
Then 3 million different kinds of saplings were planted on this wasteland with only 16% forest coverage.
Li Minguo said: "We want to give our children a rainforest garden, even when I am pregnant with them, I have not stopped planting trees and flowers. ”
"The most common thing in our house is the tree, and we grow with the trees in the garden and the little animals.
Little trees grow faster and taller than us, and they grow so big to protect us, and when we grow up, we can protect them. ”
However, just when the young children were still "waiting to be fed", no one expected that the tribulations would ensue.
In 2010, Mayu had a heart attack and died suddenly.
A year later, the villagers were hungry for the high yields brought by cash crops and began to force Li Minguo, who rented land, to give them more money.
Even more excessive is that someone secretly set fire to it. On that windy day of the dry season, the fire ravaged the forest, and even approached the grave that Ma You had built at the top of the mountain.
Mr. Li said he had chosen it so that he could overlook the reconstructed forest.
Now, the fire is like laughing at their family's efforts.
After that, the excerpt of the eldest daughter Lin Da, there were many more words of "money is evil".
And Li Minguo became stronger and stronger.
She took her children on a journey for Mayu's unfinished business.
The mother-daughter trio began to appear on the show frequently.
Lin Da and Wanda took to the stage of the Talent Show to sing, calling on "everyone to plant trees".
Walking into the Great Hall of the People and singing a song called "Earth Song", I asked the adults:
What about killing fields
What about the vanishing land
Is there a time
Will there be any more
What about flowering fields
Flowers bloom all over the field
What about all the dreams
And the ones you said
that you said were yours and mine
It belongs to you and my dreams
With high-profile publicity and the support of countless celebrities, they have made a name for themselves in the rainforest, making many people afraid to fight it again.
Then, the mother and daughter trio left the curtain and returned to the rainforest, silently continuing the reconstruction work.
During those "silent" years, Lin Dai became interested in biology.
In order to guard the flowers and trees, Wanda pressed her own performance dream.
Every time the girls arrived at a certain time, they would go up the mountain to check the fire.
Finally, as more and more volunteers followed, some local villagers began to plant trees.
The ecosystem in the reserve has been restored, and more than 3 million plants have been re-established, basically forming a "rainforest ecological microclimate".
"After more than ten years of rebuilding the rainforest, gradually the mist dew returned, the water seeped out of the crevices of the rocks, the fungus returned, and even the orchids bloomed. Nature will tell you that you did the right thing. ”
"If you want to see a slightly decent rainforest ecosystem, you'll have to wait 120 years."
She and Mayu couldn't wait. But it doesn't matter, there are daughters watching for them.
When the two little dolls were young, they once saw Ma Yu laughing in a "croak" sound, because he said that he heard "a toad running out of tune".
As they grew up, they also felt that joy:
"Life at that time was indescribable happiness, very, very free, loved ones were around, and sometimes just walking on the road, or just standing there, you can be happy to cry." 」
When the affairs of the rainforest were on track, Lin Da picked up a paintbrush, learned art and design, went to Germany at the age of 13, and was later admitted to the University of Barcelona.
Wanda finally began to touch her dreams, she left her hometown to learn dance at the Beijing Dance Academy, and slowly came into contact with acting.
The sisters went their separate ways, but never forgot where they came from.
During the holidays, they return to their homes in the rainforest and weave through trees and vines and flowers.
Wanda still remembers how the family lived through the difficult days after her father's death:
Dad wants to go to heaven to do something more important, to leave the things on earth to them, and the sisters want to help Mom.
So she never shied away from her ambitions:
"I've seen enough of the outside world (as a kid) and I need to keep moving forward and not just stay on my own happiness.
Let more people know me, help more people, and then work together to protect the rainforest, protect the earth, and make a little contribution to the world. ”
Maybe that's what the photographer who shot her called the jungle atmosphere:
When people rush to the "money" regardless of where they come from, there are still people who do not give up love and freedom, grow wildly in the forest, and guard the beauty of the world.
