Filmmaker's book captures lives along China's Yangtze

Lai Yun from Wuhan, who grew up along the Yangtze River, described the river as a symbol of home and said the book has evoked a strong emotional resonance among readers.

From 2010 to 2011, Takeuchi filmed a documentary about the Yangtze River for the Japanese public broadcaster NHK. This time, he retraced the river and revisited some of the people he filmed more than 10 years ago.
