Japanese film director Ryo Takeuchi’s latest documentary,Beyond the Mountain, which was shot last year, has met Chinese audiences this month.
Takeuchiis known for his documentaries about China’s efforts in combating the coronavirus, includingLong Time No See WuhanandThe Post-Pandemic Era.
This time, his camera was aimed at China’s poverty alleviation efforts in Liangshan, Sichuan province, which was officially declared to be out of poverty at the end of last year.
在这部纪录片中，竹内亮搭上了绿皮火车，来到大凉山有名的“悬崖村”。

陡峭的钢梯吓坏了竹内亮，恐高的他手脚并用攀爬，连连直呼“太可怕了”。
途中，竹内亮还结识了背着打印机去“悬崖村”山顶办业务的银行工作人员，让生活在大山中交通不便的村民们，足不出户也能办理银行业务。
Takeuchi took a train to the mountainous area and got off at a “cliff village” that has become famous through numerous media reports. The director overcame acrophobia to climb the steep express iron stairs that were built in 2020.
The filming crew met with staff at a local bank after finally reaching the cliff village. The bank provides financial services to villagers and staff will also climb up steep mountain paths to allow villagers to enjoy banking services at home.
一路上，竹内亮遇到了形形色色的人，村民们三言两语地向他讲述着大凉山的变化。其中有位村支书说，一些村民也选择搬下山住进了政府提供的新家。
The director also talked about the villagers who moved out of the cliff village with the village secretary.
The village secretary told him that these villagers have lived in a county under the mountain and their houses were provided by the local government.
竹内亮的镜头也记录下了搬到山下的村民们的生活，纪录片中，一群身穿彝族传统服装的绣娘们正在山下的昭觉县城开设的彝绣培训班埋头工作。
如今，这些人在山下都有了自己的房子，搬到当地政府出资建造的安置房小区。
Their cameras captured a skilltraining class in the county, where many Yi women dressed in traditional clothing were learning to produce traditional Yi embroidery.
Takeuchi chatted with some of the women and discovered they were “immigrants” from the nearby cliff village who were provided with fully furnished free housing.
这里的孩子们，也可以像城里的孩子们一样进行足球训练。

这些足球少年的梦想单纯而真挚，他们想要一直把球踢下去：“成为像武磊一样的球星！”
The documentary also mentions how the government and some Chinese educational institutions are trying to provide more opportunities to local children to help them leave the mountains, like a soccer school co-established by one education institution and the top Spanish soccer club Real Madrid that aims to send children who show some aptitude for the sport to Spain for further training.
“I want to be a football star like Wu Lei,” one boy said.
这里的孩子们有各种各样的梦想：成为舞蹈家、音乐家、演员……
多数人无法选择自己的人生起点，大凉山的孩子们也是。
蓝天和云朵下，孩子们唯一要做的就是跑快一点，再跑快一点，梦想也没有那么难追。
而一些家长的观念也发生了改变，他们越发重视教育，希望能够有更多的老师来帮助孩子们提高成绩，走出大山。
Some of their parents’ views have changed due to poverty relief efforts. In the documentary, they said they want to try to send their children to school andhope they can learn as much as possible so that they can have a better life.
These parents said they are longing for more teachers who can boost their children’s school grades to come work at local schools.
“我希望看了这部纪录片的人能来美丽的大凉山看一看。因为我认为，脱贫的重点在于让更多人知道他们的存在。”竹内亮在片中说道。
在影片的最后，想要成为音乐家的女孩儿，弹着支教老师送给他们的尤克里里，和朋友们唱起了五月天的《知足》。
歌声在大山里回响，时大时小。
