There is a place in northern Tibet called Qiangtang, which is the largest no-man's land in China and the largest nature reserve in China and the second in the world. In the hinterland of Qiangtangli stands the huge Puruogangri ice sheet, which is the largest glacier in the middle and low latitudes in the world and is considered to be the third largest glacier in the world except the Antarctic and the Arctic.
The film "Secret Ridge in Northern Tibet, Back to No Man's Land" tells the story of a group of enthusiastic young people exploring Qiangtang and filming the Puruogangri ice field. After three years of preparation and one year of preparation, the trip to Qiangtang officially began. Exploring the beautiful and dangerous Qiangtang is not smooth sailing. On the fifth day of departure, the driver got pulmonary edema because he couldn't adapt to the plateau environment and had to withdraw to Lhasa. On the seventh night of departure, many people quit because they couldn't stand such a bad environment.
On the twelfth day, the truck driver was escorted back to Lhasa because of pulmonary edema. During the withdrawal of the members, the filming members were also attacked by wild yaks and met cunning wolves. Despite the harsh environment and heavy work, producer Cai Yu didn't give up filming, and he was determined to continue. On the14th day after departure, the shooting team finally arrived at the main peak group of Puruogang Day. At this time, the team has changed from the original 48 people to the current 88 people.
It is not so easy to photograph glaciers. The temperature is too low and the wind speed is too fast, which brings great resistance to mountaineering photography and also brings ideological blows to the team members.
On the eighteenth day of power-on, the drone hit a mountain and the shooting had to be terminated. The shooting team wept bitterly for this, and many members expressed their inner feelings. Director Rao Zijun's father lived in Tibet for a long time and left her forever because of a climb. In order to know more about his father, Zijun came to Qiangtang with obsession.
Cai Yu, the producer, said that he didn't take responsibility in the first half of his life. Now he wants to shoot a place like his childhood hometown, but he doesn't succeed. Now he wants to stay with his mother. This film let us see the mysterious Qiangtang no man's land and feel our own heart. Under the ice peak of Puruogangri, facing the layers of ice water, we seem to be standing in front of the whole world, and in their contrast, we are even smaller. Blue sky, pure white clouds, brown land, high icebergs and the scene in front of us all give us great visual impact.
Standing on the glacier at an altitude of 6000 meters, we spread our arms and held our breath, feeling the wind whistling in our ears and hearing our inner cries. In Qiangtang, we feel the majesty of the ice peak; Feel the tenacity of vitality; Feel the tolerance of nature to everything.
Nature exposes our ugly qualities such as narrowness, jealousy and greed to the sun, and at the same time she washes our hearts with this spectacular sight. The vastness of nature makes us face our hearts. It drives away the evil in our hearts, purifies our dirty hearts and unties our inner knots. If you want to find yourself, you might as well come to Tibet, where you will have the answers you want.
