Features: A comprehensive reflection of the long and enduring song of the Wujiang River development, and a documentary that provides an insight into the glorious journey of the "Development and Poverty Alleviation, Ecological Construction" Experimental Zone, which was advocated and established by Comrade Hu Jintao. "The Wujiang River dries up, the Yangtze River is severed" – this is the voice coming from the Yangtze! The Wujiang, a mysterious tributary of the Yangtze River, whose enigmatic veil is yet to be lifted. In the spring and summer of 1988, under the personal advocacy of Comrade Hu Jintao, then Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, China's first rural comprehensive reform experimental zone – the "Development and Poverty Alleviation, Ecological Construction" Experimental Zone – was established in Bijie, the source region of the Wujiang River. Here, the spirit of "bold exploration and courageous practice" has achieved astonishing miracles. Here, China pioneered the exploration and practice of the scientific discovery concept. Crossing the thousand-li Wujiang, every blade of grass, every mountain and stream, every melodious sound reveals the process of harmonious development in China's reform! This is China's poorest region, where many original cultural symbols remain tranquil while others face extinction; the simple eyes gaze at the surging river, and their lofty spirit and resolute character compose the most harmonious symphony! The author spent two years walking through the mountains and waters of the Wujiang, using extensive and detailed materials and data to reconstruct historical reality and record the 17 years of exploration and progress here, deeply revealing the beautiful and indomitable spirit of the Wujiang people. Walking along the Wujiang, observing the changes in a region and a nation from a historical perspective, is to reflect the spirit of "bold exploration and courageous practice" of all ethnic groups here, and to sing the hymn of China's great era!
