Features: Recommended by Jing Yidan, Bai Yansong, Hai Xia! Dong Hao, Ju Ping, Jin Guizi, hosts reveal the behind-the-scenes stories. Famous writers like Tie Ning, Lu Qin, Su Shuyang, Bi Shumin, and Sun Yunming share childhood tales. Zheng Yuanjie and Liu Xiaolingtong, channel observers, deliver brilliant quotes! I am a mother, and because of my child, I pay more attention to children's matters. As a television professional, I also focus on what happens on television. This book has shown me a perfect combination of television and children—a group of young television professionals who, for the sake of children, bent down, lowered their perspective, and willingly became "child kings." I admire them, like them, and am willing to contribute to their cause. And the childhood stories of those famous writers are delicious to read and worth savoring. Holding this book in my hands, I am once again transported back to my childhood.

Television can represent the past, present, and future, while children evoke memories of the past and anticipation of the future. Meaningful things are rarely done by lucky people in a lifetime. I see those great writers and my admirable colleagues at the Children's Channel, who are a group of lucky adults who spare no effort for children's matters. I also see some children who speak their minds and accurately express their inner thoughts in words. In this era where it is hard to find a quiet moment for reading, I am willing to read a book like this, reflecting on my own childhood—was I as lucky as the children of today?
—Bai Yansong, CCTV Host
As a news anchor, it has been a long time since I read such a "childlike" book. Many chapters are light and easy to read, many reflections are admirable, and many childhood faces remind me of myself. Growth is sometimes a process that cannot be put into words. Today's children grow up with television, cartoons, and the Youth Channel as companions, and I envy them for the richness of their childhood. Wishing the children and the Children's Channel well.

This is a gift. It is a gift for the third birthday of CCTV Children's Channel. It is also a gift from the three-year-old Children's Channel to all the children, young viewers, and everyone who cares about her. Thanks to the full nurturing from the start, a good and relaxed growth environment, and the dedicated care and upbringing of countless people, the Children's Channel has grown up healthy and strong. In three years, she has taken steady and fast steps. Although the small footprints left behind are not yet clear enough, each one is deeply etched in the hearts of the television viewers who love her.
The initial idea for this book came from Yu Peixia, Director of the Youth and Children's Programming Center at CCTV (now Director of CCTV Children's Channel). As a seasoned television professional with over 30 years of experience in youth and children's television, his feelings for the Children's Channel are beyond words. On the third birthday of his child, whom he has poured his heart into every day, he remained humble, simply suggesting an essay competition with the theme "The Children's Channel and My Growth" to hear the voices of the children.
