Story:
For thousands of years, they have been living in the primitive forest of Ailao Mountain in southwest China, living a primitive life of slash-and-burn farming and hunting. After liberation, in order to give them a better life, the government wanted to move them out of the forest and live at the foot of the mountain, but the Kucong people did not appreciate such kindness. In the 50 years from 1958 to 2008, the Kucong were moved out of the original forest five times and returned to the forest five times. In 2008, the government decided to move the Kucong out of the forest for the sixth time. Will the Kucong leave the forest this time?
