in the 1960s, many cadres came to akdala to provide support. li huaihe, played by li xuejian, met the love of his life, hao chunli, here. they worked hard to plant cotton in this vast gobi desert, and the scarecrow witnessed their vigorous and passionate youth. however, a series of accidents hindered cotton planting, and hao chunli's whereabouts were unknown. in order to protect the results of his comrades' blood, li huaihe chose to stay in akdala and keep company with the scarecrow. 60 years later, akdala is facing a cotton crisis again. li huaihe passed on his life's work to tian li, a new generation of cadres in xinjiang. this protection across time and space has rekindled hope for this land.
movie quotes:
"in life, there are only you, me and him. without him, you still exist; without me, you still exist; but without you, neither of us exists."
reporter's notes——
the film was originally named "cadres aid xinjiang" and later renamed "akedala". according to the producer zhan mengyao, who was born in the 1990s, "akedala" is taken from the local ethnic language, which means white fields. as shown in the film, white cotton was grown on the white fields, which is a miracle!
since 1996, tens of thousands of cadres from all over the country have rushed to xinjiang to help. far away from their hometowns, they take xinjiang as their second home with love and responsibility, and promote the gathering of various policies, funds, technologies, talents and other resources to xinjiang, making important contributions to the realization of long-term stability and high-quality development in xinjiang. the film "akedala" not only tells a story about helping xinjiang, but also is a deep engraving of the love for the country and the nation, demonstrating the valuable spirit of generations of cadres who have fought against the sky and the earth and have been indomitable.
film screening of "if you love me, tell me"
the movie "if you love, confess" is a love movie created with dali, the "best place for love confession", as the background. it is directed by director gao feng and starred by actors such as alima, ma cancan, and zhang guoqiang. the film was shot entirely in dali, and the opening ceremony was held on october 6, 2022 at the luoquan peninsula in dali.
the film cleverly combines the fast-paced life of a modern city with the leisurely scenery of dali. it revolves around the emotional journey of xiaofeng, a bai youth, and li sipeng, a shanghai youth, who have gone through many twists and turns and finally achieved a happy ending. it uses the "slow time" by the cangshan mountain and erhai lake to heal the anxiety caused by the fast pace of big cities.
in the film, xiaofeng, who grew up eating at other people's homes, captured the long-lost warmth and touching moments after returning to her hometown, and found her true belonging. she decided to stay between cangshan mountain and erhai lake to repay her hometown elders with the knowledge she learned. however, li sipeng, who had a good life since childhood and lacked frustration education, could not empathize with xiaofeng's attachment and love for her hometown, and started a ridiculous journey. the film also shows dali's unique national costumes, pleasant bai music and the beautiful legend "waiting for husband cloud", etc., leading the audience to further experience the romantic atmosphere of dali.
movie quotes:
"to love someone is to love everything about him, to love all of her. love is giving, not asking. protect her, protect her hometown, protect her elders, and protect the most beautiful legend in her heart, 'wangfu cloud'."
