Also known as Tea Horse Road Series: Delamu

The film takes the rugged and dangerous "Ancient Tea Horse Road" as a clue to explain the life of the residents along the way (especially the Hengduan Mountains in Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet). The original residents who are neither humble nor overbearing tell the audience the story happened in this vast and lofty land of sounds of nature. There is no narration to explain, no exaggerated sensationalism, everything happens quietly and ends quietly under the simple record of fixed lens, naturally.

Just like the director's interpretation of the film: "The people living here, like the mountains on the plateau, are neither humble nor arrogant, full of legendary colors, and coexist in harmony with nature - we people from outside can only look up to them, appreciate them, and praise them - here can give you a kind of strength, a kind of harmony, and joy from the heart, and they will not change themselves because of your praise."

Director Tian Zhuangzhuang won the 2004 China Huabiao Award for Outstanding Digital Film.
