The movie is based on moving the Chinese winner of the year 2011 “grassroots philanthropist ” Alimu. Alimu Hurlik made his living in Kew in Bijie, Guizhou, and helped hundreds of poor students with modest income. He was called “grassroots heroes” by local people to “light up the warm sunshine of the inner world.” This is off the traditional English-style film macro-wide narrative, sublime aura of solemn aesthetics, with the pursuit of aesthetics for documentary. Overall, the author’s attitude is more calm and self-sustaining,
