Riding the wind of rebirth

"It just so happens that Third Brother said he wanted to visit Lingshan Temple," Zhou Zhi said, "The azaleas in the village have begun to wither, so I guess the azaleas in the back hills of Lingshan Temple should be in bloom soon. How about we go there this weekend?"

"Then we have to call A Zi and Sha Ma." Wu Renzhong said quickly: "I agreed with Master Mingtai last time that we will go to fulfill our vow when the Soma flower blooms."

"It's a pity that Sister Chi can't go. She is working on a project in the department." Zhou Zhi felt sorry: "I don't know if the three films will have any results."

Despite the thorough preliminary networking, Chi Xueli still spent several months in Lianhe Township to complete the footage for his film and produce two documentaries.

One is "Bimo Sheepskin Book". This documentary begins with the excavation of the Scripture Cave guarded by generations of great Bimos. It introduces the Bimo customs and documents of Liangshan Prefecture in a series, and deeply explores the important role of Bimo in the social structure of ancient Liangshan Prefecture, as well as their unique cultural system.

This story is very complicated, because Bimos themselves are the top representatives of Yi culture. To tell their story clearly is equivalent to telling the Yi cultural heritage clearly, and the Yi cultural heritage includes astronomy, geography, history, politics, divination, medicine and so on.

At the same time, the cultural heritage unearthed from the Bimo Cave and the results of many sutra and archaeological research will also be displayed.

The other one is much more interesting, "Searching for Ashima", which is based on the story of Ashima and her various adaptations, and finally became the version in the movie. It revolves around the story behind this story, just like solving a case by uncovering layers of fog, and finally returning to the earliest legend.

In addition to promoting the story's impact overseas, especially in island countries, it is also necessary to introduce the background of this story and promote the products, scenery, and culture of Daliangshan.

This film is relatively short and not as grand as The Sheepskin Book. If a documentary is to be broadcast on a big stage, public relations operations are also needed. Chi Xueli is now staying in the capital to take care of these.

Zhou Zhi sincerely hopes that CCTV and the Ministry of Culture will pay attention to "Bimo Sheepskin Book". It embodies a lot of his hard work, is highly professional, has very profound academic value, and is also the first documentary that deeply reflects the heritage of Yi culture.

However, precisely because it is too professional, it may not be a big hit among the audiences, and its ratings may not be too high. It cannot be compared with "Searching for Ashima", which has predictable ratings.

"If it's not broadcast in China, we can consider sending it abroad." Li Laosan was giving a bad idea: "As a project invested and filmed by the Yu Tang Cultural Heritage Foundation, send it abroad for awards."

"Don't!" Zhou Zhi understood the nature of those people in the West, and he also understood the power of domestic cyber armies in the future. Many contents in "The Parchment Book" were extremely precious in the eyes of their professionals, but in the West this might represent backwardness and ignorance, and it was perfectly used to satisfy the curiosity of people.

Moreover, it is something related to ethnic minorities and is quite sensitive. If someone tries to stir up trouble with it, even if we win honors, we may still be criticized in the country in the future, especially online.

Even if it cannot be shown on TV this time, Chi Xueli's "The Sheepskin Book" will be a collection of the essence of her large amount of video materials. There will be no problem using it as a multimedia index record in the future. If it is gold, it will always shine. There is no need to seek any "foreign fame".

"Sister Chi is a person with her own ideas, so let's not worry about her."

"Tsk! What a bad character of a scholar, so pretentious!" Li Laosan expressed his contempt for Zhou Zhi.

"The elbow is good in every way except for this problem which is a bit serious." Wu Renzhong and Li Laosan found a common ground and both highly agreed with Li Laosan's statement.

"Brother Elbow, look at our new schoolbags and the interesting comics!"

"Let me see what it is." Zhou Zhi grabbed Ziqi Aguo who came over to show off, and took out a few copies of "Daughter of the Nile" from her schoolbag.

"Where's yours?"

"The Jungle Emperor!"

"Spider-Man!"

"Slam Dunk!" "Dragon Ball!"

"It's over, you are going to become victims of comics..."

"The comics are to be put in the reading room." Wu Renzhong quickly stood up and greeted, "This is what I promised your sister Shama before I came here, otherwise there will be no next time."

"Ren Zhong, do you like reading comics yourself? Are you abusing your power for personal gain?" Zhou Zhi felt that he had discovered some secret.

"It's none of your business!" Wu Renzhong ignored Zhou Zhi: "Put the comics away and come back to eat rice noodles. You can read it after you finish eating rice noodles!"

When the kids were busy moving books and serving jelly, Zhou Zhi said to Wu Renzhong worriedly, "Until now, no child in the village primary school has myopia. Now I think it will be a disaster."

"Not really. Besides, even if he is nearsighted, it's not from reading comics, it must be from doing homework!"

"roll!"

Within two days, it was the weekend, Shama Ricong and Jilie Azi came back, and everyone was ready to go to Lingshan Temple.

Wu Renzhong's BJ Jeep was a magical little car, so magical that Mai Xiaomiao thought it was a vintage car from World War II and had to take a ride in it, so Zhou Zhi had to give his own Defender to Wu Renzhong to drive and he drove this 212 himself.

The reason why this car is magical is that it was born in 65 and has been in production for more than years without stopping.

The history of this car can be traced back to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the military command vehicles were mainly the GAZ-69 imported from Russia and the Willys Jeep seized from the US military.

Therefore, in 61, the first generation of domestically-produced light off-road vehicle, BJ210, was built based on the Willys Jeep.

Later, the military put forward many suggestions for improvement. Then in 1965, combined with the front face of Willys, the cooling holes were changed to horizontal, and matched with the wider body structure lines of GAZ69, it became the car that Zhou Zhi is driving now - BJ212.

The shape of this car has basically not changed since it was put into production. The most common color is military green paint with a military green canvas canopy. It seems to have retained a lot of the style of the Willys Jeep. The Willys Jeep was a military vehicle mass-produced by the United States in the middle of World War II, with a production volume of more than 600,000 units. It once became a symbol of the US military and is still commonly seen in many World War II memorial exhibitions abroad. It is no wonder that Mai Xiaomiao regards this car as a cultural relic for curiosity.

No matter how outdated it is, the 212 is still a light off-road vehicle after all. The road conditions in many parts of the country are not very good now, especially in places like Liangshan Prefecture, which is even more backward. Therefore, the 212 was actually very popular in the market for a time.

Moreover, the 212 was known as the "county regiment standard" at the time and the demand was so great that all kinds of state-owned aircraft and automobile factories were making 212s at the same time. For example, Shenfei once had a history of "not doing its job" and making cars.

This also leads to the impressive quality of 212.

Zhou Zhi is used to driving the Land Rover Defender, the luxury version at that. Now when he drives this car, he can only say "I've learned a lot".

It's not a problem that the car is drafty. There are few cars on the road anyway, so even if the road conditions are bad, it won't be covered with dust often. With the windows rolled down, you can feel like you're riding in the air, and it doesn't feel hot when the wind blows.

However, the shock absorbers are too hard, and the seats are almost uncomfortable, so the ride is extremely bumpy, completely inheriting the style of a tough car from World War II.

The power is used for climbing hills and bumps, after all, it is a four-wheel drive, but don't count on speed. Even if you try your best, you can only run at 80 kilometers per hour. If you run faster, the sense of direction will not be clear, and it will boil if you are not careful.

Mai Xiaomiao was in high spirits and laughed a lot, which comforted Zhou Zhi a little. (End of this chapter)
