Shu Xiang ping, a male from Yao ethnic group, was born in Chenxi County, Hunan Province, China. Graduating from Beijing Film Academy, he majored in drama film and television directing there, and obtained the Bachelor’s Degree of Arts.
In the rapidly developed society with the rural population as the main body, a large number of young and middle-aged people flood into cities, which leaves a large number of both the elderly and children in rural areas. Due to their tight schedule and long distance, they can only go home temporarily during the Spring Festival, and there is a lack of supervision over children, family education and safety education. It is expected that through this film, we can draw people's attention to the phenomenon of left-behind children, encourage people who have left their hometown to go back on a frequent basis to establish a close relationship with their children, and guide the children to form a wildlife protection and correct view of law, as well as a sense of security. In the context of rural revitalization, conducting rural construction by returning to the rural area is something good which can kill two birds with one stone.
All the participants of this film are the villagers from the same remote mountain village. Except for the director, all the other members had never been exposed to the production of film. All the scenes selected are all in and around the village, and therefore it is deemed as a film that encounters difficulty during its growth in the mountain village. The film it attempts to realize the film's social value using a witty tone, light audiovisual language and low budget.
