My village is very comfortable. He has warmed the night sky in the countryside with movies for 42 years

As night falls, the summer evening wind blows gently in the countryside. In the courtyard dam of Laoguan village, Xiaoshui Town, Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, the villagers who had been busy for a whole day gathered one after another, moved benches and chatted about their daily life, quietly waiting for the opening of an open-air film. A screen, a beam of light and shadow, and lively Yuanba movies are the warmest fireworks at night in the countryside. This beauty can not be separated from the 42 years' silent persistence of 60 year old projectionist lixianghong.

We saw at the scene that the film public benefit screening in Laoguan village arrived as scheduled. Nearby villagers came on foot with flashlights and benches, while villagers farther away rode electric cars and tricycles to the film viewing site. The staff of the village committee carefully prepared the tea. While tasting tea and watching the film, they applauded warmly at the wonderful place and immersed themselves in the pleasant rural night time.

From the farmyard, the tea garden to the nursing home, Li Xianghong can be seen everywhere. Not long ago, in the tea garden in Mingqu village, Mingde Township, taking advantage of the gap between the tea farmers' finishing work, he brought equipment to the door to deliver light and shadow. The trumpet spread the news of the screening in advance, and the tea farmers quickly collected the fresh tea, unloaded their work baskets, and sat around in twos and threes. As the projector lights up the beam, the clear film picture spreads all over the screen and instantly attracts everyone's attention.

Lixianghong rewinds the film, checks the film, and keeps the old film objects properly.

Li Xianghong, 60, started his relationship with country movies in his youth. When he was a child, he was obsessed with movies. He often followed the screening team around the surrounding villages and towns. He never tired of watching a movie more than a dozen times. In 1984, at the age of 18, he officially became a rural film projectionist. Since then, he has been accompanied by light and shadow and stayed with the local people.

In the early years, the rural traffic was blocked, the projection equipment was cumbersome and cumbersome, and there was no convenient means of transportation. He carried more than 100 kilograms of equipment on his shoulders. The mules and horses in the mountains were his only transportation assistants. On the rugged mountain road, he went back and forth to every village and household again and again, started on the morning dew and returned with the starlight, and measured the local land of Yingshan with his feet.

In 2007, Yingshan County vigorously promoted the screening of public welfare films that benefit the people through culture, and lixianghong officially joined the public welfare screening team. In 2009, he purchased his first motorcycle, which opened a convenient "motorcycle screening" road. In 17 years, he has replaced four motorcycles. Over the past 42 years, 5 sets of screening equipment and 42 dense screening logs have been used to record the time, place, content and villagers' feedback of each film in detail.

Over the past 42 years, he has traveled to many towns, such as Shuanghe, Xiaoshui, taipeng, Laolin, etc., and his presence has been found everywhere in fields, farmyards and dams, and nursing homes. He has shown more than 10000 public welfare films, lighting up the quiet rural night with beams of light and shadow.

Lixianghong rode a motorcycle and dragged projection equipment across the bridge to the village to deliver movies.

Lixianghong, who experienced the changes of the industry, witnessed the iteration and upgrading of rural films. From old film projectors to high-definition digital projectors, from black-and-white films to color digital films, from bulky and vulnerable film carriers to convenient digital hard disks, the equipment is becoming more and more advanced, the image quality is becoming clearer and clearer, and the viewing experience is getting better and better.

As he keeps pace with the times, his services are constantly upgraded. In order to fit the villagers' movie viewing preferences, he played with the new media, set up the villagers' wechat group, released the screening plan in advance, and started the "single point" movie viewing service. He arranged what movies the villagers wanted to see according to their needs. In addition, he also practiced his barber skills. During the day, he cut hair for the villagers for free. At night, he set up a screen to show movies, and delivered warmth to the countryside with both hands. According to statistics, he shows more than 300 public service shows every year, and travels around the countryside for nearly 200 days a year. In addition to the story films, he also regularly broadcast popular science propaganda films such as fraud prevention, forest fire prevention and garbage classification, so as to imperceptibly popularize safety and environmental protection knowledge and improve the civilized literacy of villagers. He has been devoted to the film industry for 42 years and has been deeply involved in public welfare screening for 20 years. His most simple promise is "as long as the villagers want to see it, I will always let it go".

Villagers watch open-air public welfare movies.

Nowadays, Nanchong Rural Public Welfare Film screening has long said goodbye to single handedness and formed a linkage mechanism of "government leadership + company implementation + mass supervision". The functional departments strictly supervise and regularly supervise, the screening company standardizes the process and guarantees the equipment, and comprehensively guard the effectiveness of rural culture in benefiting the people.

Lixianghong is the epitome of many guardians of rural culture in Nanchong. After 42 years of ups and downs, they rushed to the countryside with equipment on their shoulders, connected urban and rural warmth with mobile screens, and sent laughter to people's homes. A glimmer of light reflects the countryside, and a film warms the hearts of the people. This unremitting adherence has made the seeds of culture benefiting the people deeply planted in fertile soil and illuminated the warm road ahead for the revitalization of rural culture.
