But even in blue, Qin Yi is beautiful. Her beauty, surrounded by flowers. Her beauty, even more beautiful, is elegance and strength in the face of humiliation after the prosperity is exhausted. At the age of 86, Qin Yi donated his life savings to the earthquake-stricken areas. At the age of 93, Qin Yi wrote, performed and filmed the film Qinghai Lake with his own funds, and he was full of passion. This story has been in my mind for ten years. Therefore, Mei Xinyi, a female meteorological engineer, told a touching story for the country. It took Qin Yi only one and a half months to complete a script of more than 30,000 words. She said that because she shared the same fate with the characters in the play, the whole script was written in one go. At that time, for the health of the elderly, she was advised to set up a set in the studio in Shanghai. "Artistic creation cannot be divorced from reality. I must personally go down to life and go to the plateau to shoot on the spot, so that I can come from life and be above life, so that I can move the audience and be worthy of the audience. " Therefore, regardless of her age and health, she insisted on boarding the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the crew members, insisting on working in the first line of shooting, and persisting in living and working until she was old. "We filmed on the plateau for more than a month, and I walked to 4,300 meters (altitude)." It's almost seven years since the film was made.

In the following years, Qin Yi participated in the costume film The Legend of the Demon Cat directed by Chen Kaige. At the age of 95, she played an old mammy who witnessed the ups and downs of the Tang Dynasty. Although we only filmed for three days, Qin Yi studied very hard on the set. "As literary and art workers, it is necessary for us to learn everything. As a film actor, although I have some experience, it is not enough. "
