Family of Da Mashi
Nu Ethnic Group, the only minority ethnic group of Nujiang, Yunnan, China, lives in Nujiang Canyon. With deep canyon, high and steep mountains, the living conditions are extremely precipitous. The family of Da Mashi, multiplied on the cliff for 100 years, is a typical mountainous ethnic family.
Nujiang Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world only next to the Grand Canyon of the U.S. Originated in Naqu on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it enters Yunnan and becomes torrential due to Yunling and Biluo Snowy Mountain; and the mountains, cut by the river, become steep and precipitous.
You can never imagine how dangerous the Nujiang River is if you are not there personally. To plant potatoes on the slope, the local people have to place a fistful of weed with the potato; otherwise it will roll down from the slope into the river. The gradient of 90% of the land cultivated by the local people is over 60°. Looking to the people working on the farmland, you will think of the wriggling insects at the horizon.
Nu people live in such environment. Nujiang had been beyond social revolution, with no contact with the outside world but the annual relief by the government until the 1990s. In addition, having been isolated for a long time, the Nu people believe that Gods exist in the mountains, rivers and brushwood.
"They have to face the nature, an enemy existing since the ancient. They have no way to get their limited cultivated land unless overcoming the infertile land and hillsides." (from An Essay on the Principle of Population by Malthus). The infertile land and precipitous environment have been the greatest problem faced by the local people. Farmland is the life of the local people as well as the origin of contradiction between the local government and people.
In 2000, with the promotion of the national poverty support policy and ecological protection policy in the Three Parallel River Area, Da Mashi's family was faced with a new option for survival. Under such background, this documentary records the life of Da Mashi from 2004 to 2007.
