A river has nourished the ancient civilization and witnessed the long-standing friendship between China and Laos.

  A section of railway connects high mountains and big rivers. There is love that breaks through national boundaries and beauty across mountains and rivers.

  December 3, 2022 is the first anniversary of the opening of the China-Laos Railway.

From December 1st, China News Network and China News Service Yunnan Branch jointly launched a series of short films "Beyond Mountains and Rivers" co-produced by China and Laos. The series consists of 10 episodes (5 episodes in China and 5 episodes in Laos). "Weaving", "Taste", "Road", "Root", "Dream", "Love", "Aid", "Home", "Music" and "Like" 10 chapters, telling about a Laotian female mechanic, a Laotian daughter-in-law in Yunnan, and medical staff on the China-Laos border , Lao Chinese and other groups, showing the changes and longings that the China-Laos Railway, a road of friendship and happiness, has brought to the lives of the two peoples.

  Today, we launched the fourth episode of the short film "Roots", which shows the most authentic life in Laotian Chinese villages.

China and Laos have the same mountains and the same source of water. In a place called Ban Nam Dee, there are Chinese who moved from Guangxi.

The "treasure books" filled with Chinese characters, the "martial arts" of weaving and dyeing cloth, and the traditional "movements" of the Miao people are the main themes of their lives, and they have been passed down from generation to generation... The family relationship between China and Laos is reflected here.

With the operation of the China-Laos Railway, changes have quietly taken place here.
