【Synopsis】
In order to show the true life of herdsmen, this documentary
sheds light on the Zhaxi Cairen family as the typical representative of
herdsmen. Shot in summer and winter, the film begins with the trifles of daily
life and gradually develops to the problems they faced. The Zhaxi Cairen family
lives on the plains of the unfrequented Qinghai Yushu plateau, and they find
themselves without sufficient food for the winter when severe snows blocks
routes to their mountain. The family faces the threat of huge financial losses,
calling into question their ability to continue paying for their children’s
education and sustaining the family. They ask around for help, but to no avail.
This film attempts to give the viewer a more direct experience of the helplessness
and difficulty of herding life, where the livelihood of any one individual is
left up to the whims of the weather. The Zhaxi Cairen family exemplifies a
classic example of those transitioning from the nomadic life to permanent
settlement. New life, new fortunes, and new confusion – this family is the most
authentic portrayal of contemporary herdsmen life.
为了更加真实地展现牧民的生活,纪录片选取了扎西才仁一家人为牧民的典型代表,分夏季和冬季拍摄,从日常生活的琐事入手,逐步延伸到他们所面临的问题。扎西才仁一家生活在人迹罕至的青海玉树高原牧场,夏季怡然自得,冬季充满艰辛。大雪即将封山,过冬的草料还没储备完毕,但有的车却都已经开不进来了。如果想不到办法,一家人将蒙受巨大的经济损失,孩子上学的学费,以及家人日常的开销都将出现问题。多方联系,还是没能找到好的办法。影片从旁观者的角度,更加直观地展现了牧民靠天吃饭的无奈与辛酸。扎西才仁一家是“从游牧转定居”的典型。新的生活,新的际遇,也有了新的迷茫,这一家人是当代牧民生活最真实的写照。
