Wang Jicai (Liu Ye) has experienced many difficult times and faced numerous difficulties and choices during his 32 years in Kaishan Island, a coastal area of the motherland. Wang Shihua ()' s affectionate waiting, Wang ()' s careful care, the surprise appearance of Little Bean (Zray) and the loyal companionship of dogs all gave Wang Jicai strength in different periods of his life.
When his wife, Wang Shihua, visited her husband on the island for the first time, she secretly decided: "He will keep the island and I will keep him." Wang, Minister of the People's Armed Forces, silently supported the task of guarding the island in different ways within his power, and has been fulfilling the oath of "between brothers, if they promise, they will certainly do it" for decades.
Film evaluation
The Islander has won unanimous praise from all walks of life for its true and touching story prototype, solid and delicate script and artistic pursuit of Excellence. The film takes a different approach, breaking away from historical events and the traditional shaping of typical characters, focusing on an ordinary militia, and bringing the ordinary and great life story of Wang Jicai, the island keeper, to the big screen.
Although the hero has no grandiloquence or earth-shattering feat, a group of ordinary figures have written down his incomparable loyalty and unchanging initial heart to the motherland. Wang Jicai stayed on Kaishan Island for 32 years, 1 1680 days and nights, and wrote 189 diaries. A person, an island, a lifetime, a thing, a promise, a lifetime.
