On 27/0, Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV created a humanistic documentary program "A Little Courage" officially broadcast, which joined hands with actor Zhao Lusi to explore the vivid stories of the depths of the mountains, witness how "courage" crosses mountains and rivers, and records the greatness in the ordinary with the camera. The program starts with her inner monologue, and in the journey of finding the pure land of the soul, she feels the simple emotional flow between people and the rural scenery that is not impregnated by the world. While visiting various places and experiencing the characteristic folk culture, they can experience the traditional skills of intangible cultural heritage, broaden the dimension of their life horizons, and gain the power of self-growth.
Zhao Lusi in the show is distressing, she revealed that before she got sick, she only slept two hours a day, and then went to film and shoot commercials, "I feel completely energetic, and I use it for two days a day." But after getting sick, she felt that her previous lifestyle was completely wrong and admitted that she had no reverence for life. The panic of an anxiety disorder is the same as the feeling of altitude sickness, which can make you feel breathless and deprived of oxygen. ”
Why do you want to do such a show? Producer Wang Qin told reporters that he hopes that by observing such a "subtraction" lifestyle, more people can be inspired in life, seek a dual solution of "outward exploration and inward self-consistency", and open up a new perspective of "living well": if you want to regain the initiative in life, sometimes you just need a little courage to open the window.
The first episode of the program follows Zhao Lusi's first-hand perspective into Cimarong Village, Bayirong Township, Yajiang County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and when asked why she chose this destination far away from the city with an average altitude of 3000 meters, Zhao Lusi's answer is straightforward and frank - "because they are cool". Through the lens, we see that the people here live a life different from the city: the daily life of the potato family of five warmly entertaining friends, the perseverance and dedication of the old man who does handicrafts for decades, and the teenagers chasing and laughing on the plateau. These vivid individuals shine a glimpse of the possibility of another life.
In the documentary-style observation of life, the connection between people flows naturally, sewing waist chains with the craftsman grandfather, sharing the thoughts of a girl who makes up and becomes beautiful with a little girl, and sitting around with friends to share steaming fried potatoes, all of which make us feel the power of "being watched seriously" - it turns out that it is never the distant scenery that heals people's hearts, but the real gaze from a near distance.
When Zhao Lusi set foot on this strange land for the first time, perhaps it was this strangeness that allowed her to release herself and express her heart more truly. Through the language of the lens, the program conveys the real individual who has faded away, who returns to daily life and listens to the true voice of the inner self. Zhao Lusi recorded what she saw and felt along the way in the form of a diary, "The village is lively, I like this kind of liveliness, and I don't feel that it is long to stay in this kind of bustle", which is not only a communication with us, but also a dialogue with myself. Through Zhao Lusi's individual narrative, the program excavates the courage to love life, and focuses the camera on the most simple life scenes and daily life: chopping wood and making a fire in the morning, weaving handicrafts in the afternoon, talking around the fireplace at night, the villagers warmly greeting and responding, a hearty football game, the warmth emitted when the firewood breaks, and the dance steps that follow the song, these "small but concrete" moments collage the unique way of contemporary young people to obtain healing and courage.
The program not only focuses on Zhao Lusi's personal moments of courage, but also aims to listen to small but direct voices with partners on and off the screen, and exchange experiences of the different forces of fighting with the world. The program launched the #LittleCourage Cheer Mailbox# campaign on social media, turning it into an emotional tree hole, passing on "courage" step by step, encouraging the audience to tell their own cheering stories, so that more "courage" can be seen by the world in an instant.
