The 2026 Guangdong promotional film "Winds Rise over Guangdong" uses "wind" as its central motif, connecting Lingnan's rich cultural heritage, the region's surging industrial vitality and its openness to the world. Wind provides the thread, while people are at the heart of the story. The film features sweeping scenes: the South China Sea monsoonpaints layers of green across the mountains; the Canton Fairdraws merchants from around the world, while Shenzhen is set to host the APEC event; Lingnan's cultural heritage continues to thrive, while low-altitude economyand intelligent manufacturingsurge ahead. But while the stage is grand, it is the real, ordinary people who stand at its center.

We see young Yingge dancer Zhuang Enqidancing confidently to the beat of the drums, carrying on the cultural heritage of her hometown; postdoctoral researcher Fan Yining working in an automaker's laboratory and joining the wave of scientific and technological innovation; Zhong Wei rushing fearlessly into a fire to save lives, and Li Mengyi coming to someone's aid in a waiting hall, spreading warmth and kindness; There is also the teenage girl Li Ruoxi conducting business negotiations in fluent English at the Canton Fair; Li Sitong, who plays Xie Nanzhi in the movie "Dear You", bringing Chaoshan stories to distant places. These familiar and vibrant faces come together to form Guangdong's most vivid portrait of people striving forward.

Making "wind" the core motif is a creative choice. Guangdong has long been a pioneer in embracing new ideas and trends. The winds of modern reform first arose here, while the spring breeze of reform and opening up awakened this land. "Winds Rise over Guangdong" reminds us that the new trends in industry and the spirit of openness are rooted in the people of this land— people who dare to lead, act with practicality and embrace others. Decades ago, the explosionsthat blasted through the mountains in Shekou, Shenzhen, shook the skies and the earth, each one set off by builders who dared to dream and act; crowds of people heading south poured through Guangzhou Railway Station, each ticket carrying a dream of venturing forth and striving for success. Today, as Guangdong's industries surge forward, they are still driven by countless people who work steadily and tirelessly. Guangdong is not only a beneficiary of the winds of its time, but also a pioneer in creating those winds.

风起南粤，最鲜活的是风里的人｜羊晚快评

2026年广东形象片《风起南粤》以“风”为核心意象，串联起岭南深厚的人文风骨、澎湃的产业活力以及链接全球的开放格局。风是线索，人才是内核。影片不乏壮阔图景：南海季风染出千峰叠翠；广交会客商云集，深圳又将迎来APEC盛事；岭南文脉生生不息，低空经济、智能制造浪潮奔涌。但壮阔的是舞台，站在舞台中央的，是一个个鲜活真切的普通人。

我们看到，英歌小女孩庄恩琪踩着鼓点自信起舞，接续乡土文脉；博士后范祎宁扎根车企实验室，投身科创浪潮；钟威奋不顾身火海救人，李梦旖在候车厅出手相助，传递人间暖意；还有“小孩姐”李若希在广交会上用英文从容洽谈，电影《给阿嬷的情书》谢南枝扮演者李思潼把潮汕故事带向远方……一张张熟悉而生动的面孔，构成了广东最鲜活的奋斗群像。

以“风”为核，是这部形象片的精妙手笔。广东向来“开风气之先”，近代革新之风自此发轫，改革开放的春风唤醒热土。《风起南粤》提醒我们：产业新潮、开放气象，根源在于这片土地上敢为人先、务实包容的人。当年深圳蛇口的开山炮惊天动地，每一响都出自敢想敢干的建设者；广州站南下人潮络绎不绝，每一张车票都载着敢闯敢拼的梦想；如今南粤产业浪潮滚滚向前，背后依旧是无数笃行不怠的奋斗者。广东既是乘时代长风的受益者，更是主动造风的先行者。
