China Youth Daily Client News (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network reporter Xia Jin) Film director Weng Yu's second work focusing on autistic children, "Climbing is Not Alone", has recently entered the preparation stage. The film will focus on the autistic group, deeply showing their inner world, as well as the challenges and hopes faced by their families. On August 10, a symposium on the film "Climbing is Not Alone" was held. Many experts in the field of autism, family members of patients, and creators who have participated in autism-themed film and television works attended the meeting, providing valuable suggestions to the creative team from multiple perspectives such as psychology, family education and artistic creation.
Experts attending the meeting agreed that although autistic people face many challenges, they also have the ability to feel love and be loved. Their inner world is rich and colorful and worth listening to and understanding.

"I hope that the film can speak for the autistic community through real and unpretentious expressions, and make the audience pay attention to the employment problems of older autistic patients." said Wang Lifang, current president of the Beijing Autism Rehabilitation Association and physician at Peking University Sixth Hospital.
At the symposium, families of autistic patients shared their experiences with their children, and through real and touching stories, they showed the hardships that families of autistic children face during their children's growth. They also expressed their expectations and confidence for the future.
Li Shuai, head of the Peking University Medical Brain Health brand under the Peking University Medical Group, expressed the hope that the film could also bring the real difficulties faced by parents of autistic patients to the screen, so that more people can see the strength and difficulties of parents of autistic patients.

"Film is the art of light and shadow. Rocks, sunlight, and the spectrum that symbolizes autism spectrum disorder are the best audio-visual languages." Liu Zongyuan, a doctor from the Beijing Film Academy, believes that "Climbing is not only a movie, but also a spiritual touch and a profound social care action."
Weng Yu said that "Climbing is Not Alone" will explore the living conditions and inner world of the autistic group from the perspectives of sports and parent-child relationships to show their unique talents and potential. "The autistic group needs more attention and understanding from society. I hope that through this film, more people will enter the world of autistic patients and feel their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, while also conveying the power of love and hope." Weng Yu said.
