“you can never finish photographing the three gorges”

the three gorges spirit has been passed down from generation to generation and remains fresh over time, and is a contemporary interpretation of the millennium cultural heritage of the yangtze river.

at the launch ceremony of the "image of the yangtze river" film week, the documentary film "new three gorges" was shown to hubei audiences for the first time. the 60-minute film shows from multiple angles the brilliant achievements in the construction and operation of the three gorges project and the new look, new landscape and new atmosphere of economic and social development in the three gorges reservoir area and the middle and lower reaches of the yangtze river, demonstrating the high wisdom and strong cohesion of the chinese nation.

according to the findings of the jimu news reporter who watched the film on the spot, "the new three gorges" unfolds the narrative with a small incision, selecting many ordinary people whose life destinies are closely related to the three gorges project, and by telling their real experiences, it reflects the "newness of the three gorges, the changes in the three gorges, and the beauty of the three gorges" from the small to the big.

the captain of a yangtze river passenger ship who is about to retire recalls in front of the camera the thrilling adventures he had on the river when he was young; the zhao brothers, who have been shouting boatman's songs all their lives, become "actors" who drive sailboats in the three gorges when they are over 80 years old; the villagers of banzhou bay, who have deep memories of the flood, talk about their new experience of "a clear river flowing around the village" today; the "star" among the first batch of immigrants from the three gorges takes the audience to relive the classic "looking back" photo... with the help of these ordinary people's life experiences, "new three gorges" slowly tells the story of the deep love for the three gorges that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the chinese people.

the chief director of "new three gorges", yang shuhua, has been attached to the three gorges for decades. he has previously filmed a large-scale documentary film "china's three gorges". since 2012, yang shuhua has begun to prepare for the creation of "new three gorges". after ten years, he finally launched the 7-episode documentary "new three gorges" in 2022 and brought a 60-minute film version this year.
