The posthumous work "There Should Be a Tree Before the Mountain" by the late director Wanma Caidan was exposed for the first time.
"There Should Be a Tree Before the Mountain" is a short story written by writer Zhang Zhe. It tells the story of a group of children saving a Populus euphratica tree under the leadership of their teacher. The novel finally won the short story award of the 8th Lu Xun Literature Award.
Judging from the outline of the story exposed in the film project, Wanma Caidan has made changes on the basis of the original novel. Taking the supporting teacher in the barren mountains and bald mountains as the protagonist, it tells the story of the teacher leading the students to transplant a dense and lonely tree to the school.
