BEIJING, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A report by CRI Online:

The vivid charm of Huizhou's century-old intangible cultural heritage comes alive on screen!

Set against the backdrop of the "Forty Peers' Shrine Festival", a century-old intangible cultural heritage inherited in Jixi County, Anhui Province, the film tells a heartwarming story of Li Yan, a live-in son-in-law.

Without deliberate dramatic conflicts, the film narrates gently with delicate images, embodying the traditional eastern humanistic spirits of benevolence, righteousness, courage, propriety, wisdom and faith in every rural detail. The authentic performances of the villagers make the warmth of clan inheritance and the sincerity of neighborhood companionship even more touching. They also bring the century-old folk customs out of books, turning them into a vivid living heritage passed down from generation to generation, and fully demonstrating the profound heritage of Huizhou culture.

As an outstanding cultural film rooted in eastern rural China, it reflects the bigger picture through small details, recording the protection and inheritance of traditional folk customs in Chinese villages. More than a window to explore Huizhou culture, it breaks the boundaries of regions and cultures with a heartwarming human story, letting the world see the perseverance of eastern rural China and feel the endless vitality and unique charm of China's intangible cultural heritage.
