“The actors are gathered together, the themes are bold and innovative, and it shows the quality and courage of the drama.” This was the post-screening evaluation of the media at the advance screening of “River Rises”. When environmental issues are integrated into literary and artistic works, and when ecological governance propositions are narrated in daily life narratives – why do the audience’s praise for this audio-visual experience in the name of “environmental protection” come from?

It tells the story of Zheng Hanjiang, a professor at Qijiang University who has made great achievements in the field of environmental protection, and was appointed as the director after the discovery of snack streets, water pollution, wetland protection and other environmental problems in the wetland city of Qijiang.

In terms of artistic creation, “River Rises” attempts to use a fast-paced, multi-perspective, and strong plot narrative method to explore innovative expressions of the main theme.

It leaves room for more intuitive and profound thinking.

Pay attention and think about. “River Rises” will present the difficulties behind ecological environment management through innovative perspectives and sharp writing, and restore a vivid picture of the construction of ecological civilization in the new era with the texture of real life.
