Features: "Journey of Discovery" is not a traditional educational documentary, not a news-style documentary, nor an elite documentary. It has very distinct characteristics, and its appeal lies in its storytelling approach. This book is part of the "Journey of Discovery" series, starting with the excavation of Li Lianying's tomb, revealing surprising truths that uncover hidden aspects of history. During the process of discovery, it challenges the unknown, seeks the truth, solves mysteries, and fills in the gaps. Over the past two and a half years, "Journey of Discovery" has won more than 30 domestic and international awards, nearly all of China's major documentary awards. The documentary model it pioneered has become a benchmark for many domestic documentary programs, with peers even calling this phenomenon the "Science-Documentary Phenomenon." As the parent program, Beijing Science and Education Film Studio has a 45-year history of producing educational documentaries, having made over 1,400 such films, with more than 100 of them winning domestic and international awards. Today, the studio employs over 300 mid-to-high-level professional documentary filmmakers, providing more than 300 hours of educational content annually to China Central Television (CCTV). Excellent works are continuously entering mainstream international markets for distribution and broadcast. All of this proves that the success of a program is never accidental. In today's highly competitive media landscape with endless formats, "Journey of Discovery" has taken a unique path to success—it is the perfect combination of the right team, passion, and hard work. Let's call this a secret for now. This book is one of them.
