Features: The evolution and rise and fall of civilizations is an eternal mystery. Phoenix TV's Millennial Journey, to be precise, is a cultural expedition aimed at deciphering this mystery. Zhao Wei, a veteran reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, followed the overseas itinerary of the Millennial Journey in its entirety. Passing through the cradles of four ancient civilizations and the origins of three major religions, she highlighted their current decline and past glory through her observations, thoughts, feelings, and unique perspective. As the author Zhao Wei puts it, it was an increasingly heavy and disheartening journey through civilizations. Fortunately, when she stood at the end of the overseas journey of the Millennial Journey, at the border town where China meets Nepal, and gazed upon the vast Chinese land and its civilization with the renowned scholar Yu Qiuyu, she suddenly felt that the hope of human civilization in the 21st century was on the rise.
