Each episode is shot over 72 hours to record the human stories around the locations. Among the venues are a small restaurant in Changsha, Hunan Province, and a post office in Beijing.
Following the series, another new food documentary series co-produced by Chen and Tencent Penguin Pictures will also be presented for food lovers.
