Features: Youth, Passion, Tears, Dreams—this is the entire reason and mystery behind the difficult birth of In the Heat of the Sun and its encounter with the world! Jiang Wen's directorial debut, In the Heat of the Sun, has been released for ten years. To commemorate the film's production, The Birth of a Film, written by Jiang Wen eight years ago to record the filming process, has recently been republished by Yangtze Literature and Art Press. At the book's relaunch event, Jiang Wen, dressed in a floral shirt, immediately caused a stir upon his arrival. Wen Jun, Xia Yu, Tao Hong, Geng Le, and others rushed to shake his hand and hug him. Looking back at this debut film, Jiang Wen believes it remains an excellent movie, and he has no regrets about it. When feeling troubled, he often turns to it for solace. Compared to eight years ago, the new edition of The Birth includes more complete photographic and textual materials related to the film. Additionally, Liu Xiaoqing, Wang Shuo, Gu Changwei, Siqin Gao, Feng Xiaogang, Tao Hong, Xia Yu, and others, who were directly involved in the film, have contributed written accounts of their unforgettable stories and emotions from that time.
