The movie "I Am a High Mountain" has a slogan adapted from Zhang Guimei's true deeds on the marketing promotion and poster.
Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge Principal Zhang Guimei's deeds are well-known in China, and she has gone through hardships to realize her dream of establishing a school and allowing girls in poor mountainous areas to receive free high school education. However, in the movie "I Am a Mountain", Principal Zhang Guimei is portrayed as a person who has no faith and insists on running a school only to fulfill her deceased husband's last wish. This kind of magic change made the audience feel very dissatisfied. When the movie "I Am a High Mountain" introduces Principal Zhang Guimei, although it introduces her true story, it does not emphasize her belief as a Communist Party member. Viewers believe that the film deliberately ignores Principal Zhang Guimei's communist beliefs and changes her story to another story. They believe that the film does not show the real motivation of Principal Zhang Guimei to run the school, but adapts her story into a love story. The audience said that they wanted to see a real, powerful, and faithful Principal Zhang Guimei, rather than an image that was adapted into a faithless one.
We hope that the film can face up to Principal Zhang Guimei's beliefs and restore the true story of her overcoming difficulties to establish a school for her beliefs, rather than adapting her into a person who only pursues personal feelings.
