Rene Liu returns to Wuzhen: Don’t rush to live slowly, but really live slowly.
BEIJING, Beijing, August 23 rd "Don’t rush to live too slowly, but really live too slowly." Recently, Rene Liu returned to Wuzhen again and talked about traveling. She said that a few days of local life is the best way to travel.
Rene Liu’s new film, as the spokesperson of Wuzhen, has also been released, which is the fourth collaboration between her and Wuzhen after the 2003 TV series "Time flies", the first endorsement in 2007 and the ten-year return in 2017.
Sixteen years ago, the TV series "Time flies" was broadcast, and Rene Liu became attached to Wuzhen. During this period, Rene Liu spoke for Wuzhen three times, from the "Miss Ying" in the play to the "Miss Ying" in Wuzhen. The classic slogan "I have been here and never left" has also become one of the comments of many people on Wuzhen for many years.
In the past 20 years, Rene Liu’s changes are obvious to all. She has gone from a little-known music assistant to a singer and actress, and then from the "most natural" status in the eyes of the world — — Wife and mother became film directors again.
And this once dilapidated town has gradually wiped away the dust of the past, turned into a tourist destination integrating sightseeing, vacation and leisure, and became the permanent meeting place of world internet conference Wuzhen Summit. The annual Wuzhen Drama Festival and Wuzhen Contemporary Art Invitational Exhibition also make it a "holy land" in the hearts of young artists.
Wu Cun, a village in the south of the Yangtze River, 500 meters away from Xizha and close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is also connected with tradition and the future. On the one hand, it satisfies people’s desire to escape from the familiar urban environment and gives everyone a brand-new space. On the other hand, in addition to the original natural features, a large children’s playground, a swimming pool with boundless paddy fields and a gym are all well equipped.
Going back to Wuzhen, Rene Liu is just like Wuzhen people: catching up with the morning market, having breakfast and drinking morning tea. Run in Xizha in the early morning, go to Wuzhen Water Market early, say good morning to Aunt Baozipu, who just opened the door, and buy fresh, crispy radish cakes … …
"In fact, every time I go to Wuzhen, I have a familiar and fresh feeling. Wuzhen is very beautiful when it is cloudy and not completely bright. If you don’t really have an early morning or a night there, you can’t feel it. It seems that you live in a foggy water town, and there are very few people. If you walk at will, you will have a sense of tranquility in the morning, which will often move me." Rene Liu said that she likes Wuzhen in the morning best, because it has the original appearance of life.
Rene Liu’s trip to Wuzhen happened to meet the Wuzhen International Contemporary Art Invitational Exhibition. After watching the exhibition, she wrote in Weibo: "Time is still in the exhibition, and it is well worth visiting."
In addition to the Wuzhen Art Exhibition, Rene Liu also experienced the ancient town carnival of Wuzhen Drama Festival during filming. "I feel that the travel in that ancient town seems to be a dream experience, and suddenly it has become an amusement park, so that you can go back to a very pure and childlike time."
"Living a local life for a few days, I think that is the best way to travel." Rene Liu went to the fields in Wu Cun, picking vegetables and cooking, and lived a "village life". This time, she is no longer a traveler who has been away from home for many years. She is more like a urbanite who has finished a week’s tiring work and just went home for an ordinary weekend.
After the filming in Wu Cun, Rene Liu said: "My agent told me that her favorite part was that I played with a group of children, probably because that life is very close to me now. I really like to take my children to get close to nature, let my feet step on the land, and let my hands touch nature. It is safe for you to step on that vegetable garden. I think Wu Cun feels very good."
