The village retains the old site of Shandong ancient village buildings and shows the authentic charm of Shandong ancient village. During the creation, the creative team constantly started from the details. In order to make the movie closer to life, the character dialogues were set in Shandong dialect, the scene layout and clothing matching were more Shandong regional characteristics, and efforts were made to restore the sense of age of the scene, and strive to achieve the coordination and unity of scenery, objects, and people.

Although the work has won some awards before, as a member of Shandong University of the Arts and a local filmmaker in Shandong, this competition has a more special meaning for us."
