The Mountain Knows
An award-winning documentary produced by Yiwei Cheng.
The Mountain Knows is a short documentary that explores green economic development in Nanping Village.
It focuses on three main characters: an elderly beekeeper, the owner of a century-old B&B, and a clerk at an organic farm.
Each of them runs their own business while prioritizing environmentally friendly practices.
The film concentrates on their daily routines and attitudes toward the ecological economy through interviews.
All the kindness towards the land will be rewarded with both principal and interest in the future.
Bees are better at survival than humans. Only if they live well can we have honey.
Why is the honey here so sweet?
Since mountains raised the bees up,
and the bees also raised people up.
