Features: 108 individuals, 108 stories; spanned 4 years, multiple transoceanic field shoots. Unraveling the threads, narrating successes and failures, the indescribable impact that can only be encountered. Measure their journey of the heart. Bridge the distance, share with you the glory and dreams that can move every Chinese person. Every story has a reason to stir the soul. There are times of hardship and prosperity, places of vastness and narrowness, positions of honor and disgrace. The vicissitudes of life, the ups and downs, warmth and coldness—all of these are no longer important here. Let us get closer, touch these unique yet highly charming individuals. In this ever-changing era, the moving stories buried deep in their hearts and the growth experiences that shine with the light of humanity will allow us to enter their inner world and life journey, their thought tracks and emotional realms, to feel and understand a heartfelt, sorrowful, yet tender confession from the depths of their souls, as well as the impact their existence has on the times, life, and cultural changes. The Chinese is the first panoramic documentary in the history of Chinese television to comprehensively record the Chinese diaspora worldwide. It has now begun broadcasting in over 100 television stations across Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and within China, including Taiwan, Hong Kong's Phoenix Chinese Channel, Europe Channel, and America Channel. It has ranked in the top 10 in local viewership rankings in over 40 television stations. This is truly an eye-opening and captivating work that allows us to glimpse those nearly arrogant celebrities—politicians, scientists, architects, and entrepreneurs—who shape our world. When I learned that this vast project was completed by a single individual, it completely exceeded the boundaries of my rational perception. As the author reveals, life to him is a continuous interweaving of reality and fantasy, the surface and the hidden mystery within. This also gives his work a unique and astonishing emotional impact, clearly presenting the words and thoughts of the most talented and challenging figures of our time, their appearances and their true selves.
