Japanese film director Ryo Takeuchi's latest documentary, Zoujin Daliangshan, which was shot last year, is about to meet Chinese audiences later this month.

Takeuchi, who is also called Liangshu, or Uncle Liang, by Chinese fans, is known for his documentaries about China's efforts in combating the coronavirus, including Long Time No See Wuhan and The Post-Pandemic Era.

This time, his camera was aimed at China's poverty alleviation efforts in Liangshan, Sichuan province, which was officially declared to be out of poverty at the end of last year.
