Every shot is a testament of art enriching people’s inner world and this is how arts play the role in promoting rural revitalization.

“In this trip, I found that not only in major cities has development been advanced by joint efforts of governments,enterprises and residents, but this is also true in building rural areas into beautiful attractions. I want to introduce to my own country this type of development model of making the rural area an art field and making art accessible in rural places.”

Poster of One Life Is Not Enough影片《只此一生不够》海报。

tells a story of Liu Zhengyu, a researcher who has nestled at the foot of Jinfo Mountain in Nanchuan District, Chongqing, carrying forward the missions of his father’s generation. Liu has been dedicated to wild science research in mountains for 50 years, during which he encountered many accidents. Eating grass, confronting wild beasts, snakes and insects, and heading to a dead end on a cliff have been a normal part of his daily life. For many times,he barely made it back from mountains. This film, from the perspective of Abdulsalam, a foreign director, salutes to the commitment and love of those devoted themselves to scientific researches.

“In order to get the best result of filming,we often climb up the mountain at 5 am for the sunrise, and at 12 pm for the stars. Indeed, we overcame numerous difficulties. We could always see the tears in his eyes when Mr. Liu’s revisited the past. I want to make their stories well-known to the public and I pay my highest respect to people like them because they are doing whatever they can to protect the plants and soil of Jinfo Mountain.”

影片《只此一生不够》取材并聚焦于从父辈开始就扎根南川金佛山脚下的科研人刘正宇老先生的故事。老先生深入大山进行野外科学研究已经有50余年，期间多次遇到意外，食草充饥、野兽蛇虫、悬崖绝壁都是常态，更是多次徘徊于生死边缘。影片从外方导演Abdulsalam的视角，纪录了中国科研工作者默默无闻的坚守与热爱。

“为了拍摄，我们早上5点起来爬山拍日出，晚上12点拍星星，我们努力克服重重困难。刘老先生回忆过去，时常热泪盈眶。我想让更多人了解到这么一群人，他们不曾被大众所熟知，但他们通过各种方式保护金佛山的植物土木，我十分尊敬他们。”
