A shock to the soul
Vice Chairman of Dong Libo Autonomous Region Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Honorary Chairman of Xinjiang Writers Association
Autonomous Region? Visiting Huiju? Working in villages in Xinjiang Since the ground was fully launched, everyone has deeply felt the tremendous changes that have taken place in all aspects of society. A large number of cadres sent by the party and the government entered the villages and led the people of all ethnic groups to fight against the "three forces" and severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the "three forces". The peace of national unity and social stability can be seen everywhere in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. scene. As a literary and art worker who is exposed to this situation, he cannot help but be excited and thinking about how to use literary and artistic forms to describe this fiery reality and to praise those cadres and masses who are willing to sacrifice everything for the interests of the motherland.
The artists of Tianshan Film Studio took action first. With a high sense of responsibility and good professional quality, they united as one under the leadership of director Gao Huanggang, went deep into the grassroots to collect materials, and organized experts to repeatedly After several revisions of the script and overcoming many unexpected difficulties during filming, the feature film titled "Drums of Taklimakan" was finally released in the spring of 2017. As the first literary and artistic work to reflect the work of "Visit Hui Ju" in the village, its release has naturally attracted the attention of all walks of life.
To be honest, I walked into the cinema with worry and expectation. I am worried that the creation of this subject is too difficult, and some topics are relatively sensitive, which will affect the profound expression of the theme. But at the same time, I hope that this work will become a primrose, providing experience and inspiration for literary and artistic creations with similar themes, and bringing prosperity to Xinjiang's literary and artistic spring, where one flower leads to hundreds of flowers blooming.
I don’t know how other people feel when they watch this feature film. I can only say that after the movie started, I felt that I had not seen enough of this story that lasted for one hundred minutes. After the lights came on, I still sat in my chair and refused to leave, and wanted to continue reading. Because my whole body and mind were still immersed in the atmosphere of the story, and I was deeply shocked by the sound of drums coming from the depths of the Taklimakan Desert. In other words, my worries were gone and I saw what I was looking forward to.
Every ethnic group has its own way of expressing inner emotions. The Uyghurs’ enthusiastic, open-minded and optimistic nature makes the place where they live known as the land of singing and dancing. But in recent years, due to the poison of religious extremist ideas, many beautiful villages have begun to become depressing and silent.
Although this feature film does not directly show those hateful religious extremists, through a large number of real and powerful plots, it still makes us feel the harm caused by religious extremist forces to society and the people. No laughter or singing could be heard at the wedding; a beautiful girl who loved dancing was deprived of her freedom and forced to marry early; an old man who had played the Nagra drum all his life had to hide the drum in a box and only Can you secretly take it out and caress it in the middle of the night? Black fog has enveloped the once blue sky in the countryside.
However, all this changed after the arrival of the Fanghuiju village working team. Cadres of all ethnic groups who walked into the village from the government agencies rose up and rested together with the villagers. Although they were not many in number, their special status made them like messengers of the sun. No matter where they went, they would give People bring light and warmth.
Thanks to the efforts of the working team stationed in the village, the village has its first asphalt road. From then on, no matter it is windy or rainy, the villagers are no longer troubled by mud and dust; the village has built It has created a square where cultural and sports activities can be carried out, giving villagers, especially young people, a place to learn knowledge, leisure and entertainment, which greatly squeezes the space for religious extremist ideas to penetrate; the work team invites agricultural technicians to the fields to teach farmers The advanced technology of growing red dates has made the villagers' dream of getting rich a reality; members of the work team and village cadres went to each house, delivering not only firewood, rice, oil and salt, but also the caring care of the party and the government.
The touching scenes in the movie are a true representation of the work of "Visiting Huiju" in the village, and there is no artistic exaggeration or fiction. The team leader He Jianjiang's mother was critically ill and could not go to visit him. He stayed at his post until the bad news came that his mother had passed away. The look on his face with tears streaming down his face as he held his cell phone made people unable to help but be moved by it. It was the courage and dedication of many work team members that finally made long-lost songs resound in the villages of southern Xinjiang, and the mighty drum formation of a group of men between heaven and earth pushed the entire movie to a climax .
"Drums of Taklimakan" comes at the right time, and it will shock the soul of every audience. It is hoped that more artists will devote themselves to literary and artistic creation that pays attention to reality and promotes the main theme, launch more high-quality masterpieces, and inspire the confidence and determination of people of all ethnic groups to work together to build a beautiful homeland.
