Lin Zhixia moved from a small town to a big city and became an intern director of a documentary company.
She's not showy enough, isn't good at fighting, and doesn't know how to say nice things. On her first day of employment, project leader Zhou Yubai only glanced at her and commented in a low voice that people with too many emotions are not suitable for making documentaries.
Lin Zhixia thought that she would be eliminated soon. Until one day, she accidentally photographed the old man in the shoe repair shop downstairs leaving porridge for his late wife every day. The three-minute short film had no sensationalism or reversal, but it silenced the entire conference room.
From that day on, Zhou Yubai really saw her for the first time.
He taught her to hold the camera steady and protect herself within the rules of reality; and she took him closer to those ignored people and to quiet but hot lives.
Zhou Yubai once thought that the camera must be calm. Later he realized that calmness is not indifference.
Some people spoke too softly, and she wanted the world to hear.
Purpose: Every ordinary person deserves to be seen, and every love can illuminate life.
