The film is adapted from William Kamkwamba's autobiography The Boy Who Rides the Wind

(The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind)

Tell a life-changing story:

Kamkwamba himself at the age of 13

Insight into the needs of wind power generation with your own eyes

Change the farming habits inherent in the village with your own hands

Wind turbines built from scrap metal, old bicycle parts and wood

he saved his village

no longer like a poor supplicant

Ask God for rain and a good harvest

Instead, I believe that endless "green" can be born on the barren land

This is modern life created by a mind with knowledge

The film tells the story of such a young wind chaser who becomes more and more frustrated

Following the guidance of teenagers, we can also hope to be touched

Red and blue uniforms, teenagers studying

This is a primitive town

People work and farm to the local trading floor to buy life items

All matters are negotiated by the local chief

13-year-old Kamkwamba also got a chance to go to school

He put on the red and blue uniform and began to yearn for school life

Boys really love to learn

He would sit by the window in rainy weather and study

It's a pity that poverty can't meet his needs for lighting and learning at the moment

So he helped his father to farm together

But "upright" classroom learning time is limited

Boy expelled from school for lack of money at home to pay $80 a year

But he was thinking about the lectures in the knowledge class in the school library

So he, who loves learning, sneaks into the school library and classroom

He may be the only kid who sneaks out of the fields to study

The existence of a system is inexcusable cruelty

This "stealing" time was officially discovered by the principal

Again he was fired

In times of famine, teenagers bury dogs

Local tobacco companies came to lobby many people to realize the land in their hands

Let the "people from the company" cut down the windbreaks in their fields

The boy witnessed this scene with his father

powerless

That windbreak not only represents economic value

It is a green barrier for the local land

So the flooded villages had to endure the years of famine

Government's 'limited relief' won't relieve their hunger

There are even some "predators" in many places

Preying on women and children while men at home are away

Wanton plundering of stock at home

This kind of robbery is even worse for the boy's family

The family lived on the food that the boy finally brought back from the centralized relief point

So when you are not hungry

Father doesn't allow boy to leave food to his samba

It's hard to imagine how these animals could endure starvation in an environment of nothingness

So that day still came the boy had to bury it himself

How he wished he could save it

more than it

The wind is blowing, the young man looks away

Smart boy did find a way to save a village from starvation

However, it suffers from the lack of materials and manpower.

Originally he needed the DC machine on the school teacher's bike

The boy's sister and teacher left it to him after he ran away

Then he needs to perform a small experiment to prove his conjecture:

Wind can be converted into electricity to drive electrical devices

This time he found a companion to carry out the plan together

But he was severely denied when he showed the results to his father

This left the boy wondering what to do next

But he never doubted that he was right

He needs to change the environment of the town

"i can make water" he firmly believes

No longer subject to the will of God, no longer controlled by the lack of water

He needs a bigger "windmill" to drive more power

So he came with his mates to tell his father how he needed his bike

Of course, there was a lot of taunting and anger.

friends go away

Desperate look in the boy's eyes

The change of the story is still in the words of the mother

Praying to God does not change the status quo

What does the child want and why can't support him

How much more does she have to lose before she can stop grieving

Every word of the proverb speaks to my father's heart

The boy who finally got his father's bike starts contacting the crowd

Build a humble but workable windmill together

Provides much-needed electricity to the local area and brings water as promised

He is the "wind boy"

Standing on the windmill and looking at the endless green

is the best reward for him

His boldness and ingenuity

Saved countless lives, gave them hope, spread modern ideas

Also made Kamkwamba himself funded by a professor in Malawi

Get a school scholarship to continue your studies

Father said:

Whether he leaves or not , he will always be remembered here

As long as people look at the windmill

Will naturally think of the boy who rides the wind

    Adapted from a true story, a touching and admirable experience. Various NGOs and charitable organizations in Western countries have donated to Africa for many years. Not only have they not seen any improvement, they have also helped worse and worse. Aid for infrastructure construction is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is necessary to learn skills and have the ability to survive, otherwise they will all help. After eating and waiting to die, outsiders have become "walking wallets."

    (What kind of bike do you want??) A good story about a real thing is too long as a foreshadowing for a movie. It makes people anxious to watch the progress bar, and the climax comes too easily. PS. The Nyanja Nyanha language is mainly used in the film, which is a Bantu language in Malawi (the most widely spoken language in Africa, Swahili, also belongs to the Bantu language branch).
