When the Buckwheat Flowers Bloom

Five years in Liangshan, the red soil is proof. When urban youth Lin Yajin stepped into Daliang Mountain, she brought not only textbooks, but also a two-way pursuit of "roots". Listening to the thousand-year-old epic by the firepit, and reading the light in the eyes of a girl who dropped out of school on the way home, I have gone from being estranged to this land to becoming one with the same blood. This is not a one-way dedication, but the rebirth of Han and Yi cultures in the collision. It is the resilience of life that is watered by the wisdom of grandfather's poetry and calligraphy and the fire pond inheritance of the Yi people. The story abandons tragic narratives and focuses on the majestic power of daily perseverance. Every late-night lesson preparation and every home visit over the mountains is a process of gathering glimmers of light. In the end, the growth trajectory of a young man is closely intertwined with the hopeful future of a land, interpreting the most authentic appearance of education: life awakens life, and taking root is eternity.
