Dozens of documentaries have shown the fight against COVID-19 in Wuhan. But Long Time No See, Wuhan by Japanese director Ryo Takeuchi, 41, has drawn a lot of attention in both China and Japan. It presents the real lives of 10 ordinary families in Wuhan after the city lifted the lockdown.
这部纪录片不光刷屏国内外，就连外交部发言人赵立坚都点了赞↓↓↓
该片导演竹内亮先生通过实地走访，以普通人的视角展现了武汉这座城市经历疫情创伤之后的实景，以及武汉人民坚韧、豁达的精神。这部纪录片中的很多内容感人至深，它之所以能打动中日两国广大观众的心，关键在于它贴近公众，朴实无华，透着真善美。
Even Zhao Lijian, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, praised it in a news conference.“This documentary is very touching as it shows people’s lives in a plain, sincere and heart warming way,” Zhao said.
近日，竹内亮导演受邀参加第十届北京国际电影节活动，而世纪君也在电影节活动现场采访了这位火遍中国的日本导演，听他聊了聊自己“记录真实中国”背后的故事。

采访中，竹内亮向世纪君回忆起了当时得知自己的作品被外交部发言人赵立坚点赞时的情景：
“听到这个消息的时候，我们办公室所有人都非常地惊讶，就万万没想到吧。很荣誉，特别荣幸。”

On Aug 28, Takeuchi was invited to the Beijing International Film Festival to share experience of making documentaries.
He told TEENS that Zhao’s remarks surprised him and his team. “It was a great honor for us,” Takeuchi said. His original intention was “to help foreigners overcome their prejudice of Wuhan” since there were biased remarks and reports.
在中国生活了7年的竹内亮，在拍摄记录真实中国的过程中，依然会遇到让他“万万没想到”的时刻。
今年7月7日高考当天，竹内亮来到了考场现场拍摄高考题材纪录片《高考2020》，直击高考现场的竹内亮再次被“惊”到了。

“高考现场感受到了，中国人对高考的重视程度。特别是英语（听力）考试的时候，就整个学校考点周边的路全都封了。这个日本不可能实现、执行这样的办法，没想到整个社会为了考生而做不同的帮助，这个 万万没想到。”
在竹内亮执导的这部短片《送你去高考》(Escort)中，竹内亮导演将镜头瞄准了南京市民中志愿接送考生的“爱心司机”。

在导演竹内亮看来，从“爱心司机”这个第三方的角度来看高考挺客观的，他们想要拍的，就是真实客观的中国高考。
面对疫情之下2020年这场特别的高考，不光是“爱心司机”，导演也用镜头记录下了全社会为考生保驾护航的瞬间：“在每个考点都准备好医生，如果有发烧的人，赶紧去找这种专门看新冠病毒的医生，都准备好了。然后救护车、警察，有很多很多人帮助。”

China started the national university entrance exams, or Gaokao, on July 7. The exams were the "largest organized mass gathering" in China since the COVID-19 outbreak in January, and documentary series Gaokao 2020 offers a window into an event with major significance across the country.
Directed by Takeuchi, the episode Escort chronicles the experiences of a driver in a volunteer taxi team during the three-day exam period. At the same time, the shooting team also visits the Nanjing traffic radio station, the site of traffic management for Gaokao, and other places to show how people from all walks of life effectively coordinated and collaborated to ensure smooth commute to the examination sites.
在纪录片走红之前，竹内亮已经在圈内小有名气，他拍摄制作的《我住在这里的理由》系列节目被许多年轻网友视作中日文化交流的一扇窗。

《我住在这里的理由》聚焦住在中国的日本人和住在日本的中国人的生活，目前，该节目已经做了5年，共有200多集。观众们都很喜欢节目中接地气的叙事方式。
竹内亮导演在接受世纪君采访时表示，他拍摄《我住》系列最大的契机是想要增进中日两国年轻人之间的相互了解。

（节目）从2015年开始的，当时很多年轻人不太了解日本的文化，所以想通过我们的节目来让大家了解现在的日本。这是我们的契机，后来发现，日本年轻人也不了解中国，所以想通过‘住在中国的日本人’，他们的故事，他们的生活介绍给日本人，通过他们的故事来介绍现在的中国。
而这，也是他住在中国的理由：
消除掉中日互相的偏见和误解，这是我们最想做的事情。因为现在，很多日本人还是不了解中国，误解中国。中国人也是，不喜欢日本的也很多。所以 想要通过我们的视频来让彼此互相了解吧。
This is not the first time that he has fought against prejudice. Since 2015, he has been filming the documentary series The Reason I Live Here.
In the documentary series, he interviewed many Japanese people living in China and Chinese people who have settled in Japan, asking them the reasons why they have lived in these countries.
He told TEENS that he wanted to promote understanding among people in the two nations.
“That’s the key reason why I live in China,” he said.
在北影节活动现场，竹内亮还透露了自己下一部纪录片的计划 —— 在四川大凉山拍摄脱贫主题的纪录片。

In an interview after the forum, Takeuchi revealed the content of the documentary he wants to make next — poverty alleviation in China, filmed in the Daliang Mountains in the southern part of Sichuan Province.
他表示，自己对这个题材很感兴趣。因为疫情期间大家都关注的是中国大城市的生活状况，而他也挺好奇，大山里当时是什么情况。十年前，竹内亮曾经去过大凉山，“当时那里真的很穷，要如何在十年内做到脱贫，我个人特别感兴趣。”
The director said he was very interested in the topic. Because during the epidemic, many people are paying attention to the situation in the big cities, but very few people are paying attention to the remote mountainous areas. "So I was wondering, what was their life like during the epidemic?" said the director.
And the director said he visited the Daliang Mountains a decade ago. "It was really poor at that time," he said, "So how are they going to get out of poverty in only 10 years? This particularly interests me."
对于竹内亮而言，他享受着用镜头记录中国普通人生活的过程。
This is not the first time that Takeuchi has made a documentary about China. In his own words, he enjoys photographing the life of ordinary Chinese people.
“因为中国普通人的生活发生了很大改变，作为纪录片导演，通过生活的变迁来表达他们的故事，是件很有意思的事。”
