Character evaluation

Li Ruijun is concerned about the people's livelihood and ordinary people. He is full of care and strength. Although he is low-key and nameless, he is sharp. In this era when everyone is in the rush to sell a film, he still holds a pure heart for the film - to obey himself and refuse the temptation of fame and wealth. Through the works to influence some people, let us think about some of the current social phenomenon (Sohu Entertainment review).

Li Ruijun grew up in Gaotai, Gansu Province. Her works are mostly related to the background of her hometown. She often pays attention to the elderly, children and other groups. The style of the film is realistic. There is a kind of northwest people's obstinacy in him, from "old donkey head" to "tell them I went by white crane" to "home in a place with abundant water and grass". He takes the trouble to point the camera at the land, the old man and even the loneliness of a nation, and uses the connection of the past to express his dissatisfaction with the reality (Sina entertainment review).
