Chen Beier and a group of five film crew members traveled through 6 provinces including Sichuan, Yunnan, Ningxia, Hainan, Guangxi, and Guizhou for more than 3 months, and went deep into 14 most representative areas that were once deeply impoverished to produce the documentary " Infinity Road".
In the program, she went from the tropical rain forest in the southernmost part of China to the Grand Canyon of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, stepped into the Gobi Desert in the northwest, and went deep into the Sichuan-Tibet Plateau.
She puts herself in the position of a "passer-by", and uses the mentality of ordinary people to know and learn unknown things. She said that in life, she regards herself as a blank sheet of paper, and with the gains from her infinite exploration, she can learn from the blank sheet of paper. Painted colorful pictures.

Dilemma
Litang County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan is a "net red county" that has just been lifted out of poverty. This "city in the sky", which exploded last year because of a Tibetan boy Ding Zhen, also attracted the attention of the production team.
Although Litang County is surrounded by beautiful scenery such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, glaciers, temples, and white pagodas, the plateau climate with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters makes it difficult for Chen Beier to walk.
For the first time, she knew the feeling that "it took a lot of effort to speak". When she was about to arrive in Litang, she suddenly felt that "the chest was always stuffy, as if a big stone was pressing on her heart", and she was finally unable to defeat the plateau. response, go to the hospital for medical treatment.
The doctor told Chen Beier that fortunately, she was sent to the doctor in time, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
However, the difficulties did not hinder her progress, and she started again after a day's rest.
She said that even though her body has experienced "hell", her eyes have seen "heaven", which is like a paradise in front of her, which makes her feel away from the mundane world and cleanse her soul.

breakthrough
"Where is the most impressive place?" Whenever asked this question, Chen Beier would answer "Cliff Village" without hesitation.
"Cliff Village" - Atulier Village, located in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is located on a mountain with an altitude of more than 1,500 meters. The mountain is almost 90 degrees vertically. The villagers need to climb the 2556-level "Ladder" from the entrance to enter the village, which is breathtaking. The extent can be imagined.
Chen Beier sat on the "Ladder" to rest.

Although the production team said before the departure that it is okay to climb to the highest point, Chen Beier also encountered many tourists who turned back halfway along the way, but with the persistence of willpower, she broke through the psychological and physical limits and finally successfully climbed the mountain top.
At that moment, she felt like a miracle, and when she looked back on it later, she felt incredible.
This miraculous "ladder" has also become a breakthrough to change the lives of the villagers in the "cliff village".
It not only makes the villagers going up and down the mountain more secure, but also attracts tourists from all over the country to visit and drives the development of tourism.

reward
Chen Beier once commented that the "Infinite Road" was a rare adventure, "Going to these places that I have never heard of, but it opened my eyes."
During this journey, she discovered that the world is very big, and there are many people who try to live bravely in different ways.
"Doctor Zipline" Deng Qiandui exchanged his perseverance for the health of the people. The ordinary and great story moved Chen Beier to tears.
This decades-long perseverance is based on a single promise.
When Deng Qiandui was young, he suffered from a serious illness and nearly died. The doctor who treated him at that time asked Deng Qiandui if he wanted to study medicine.
The doctor who got an affirmative answer helped Deng Qiandui go to the county hospital for further studies, and only asked him to stay after he completed his studies to protect the residents of this land.

In order to fulfill this promise, Deng Qian piled up on the fast-flowing Nu River and walked on a "zipline" for decades to treat patients who could not cross the river.
However, in 2016, the problem that has plagued Nujiang residents for more than a century was resolved.
People in the past said: One day above the mountain is a thousand years in the world, but now it is "one step across a thousand years".
The Yunnan Provincial Government has promoted the "zipline to bridge" project and built 199 bridges across the river, so that residents no longer have to take risks to travel, and the "zipline", an ancient means of transportation, can officially complete its historical mission.
The Yunnan government has built a large number of connecting roads.

future
In an interview with Hong Kong media, Chen Beier said that the biggest surprise of the trip was, "I found that the roads built in our country are well built and fast, and the planning thinking is very far-sighted."
She also understands the profound meaning of "cherishing" and "gratitude", "I have witnessed the hardships of the process of poverty alleviation, I am more and more grateful for the improvement of living conditions, I deeply understand the hard-won happiness, and I cherish everything I have now. It also inspired me that we are in the city, we should cherish and appreciate what we have.”
At the end of the trip, Chen Beier once admitted that she was reluctant to give up, and said that she was not used to returning to Hong Kong, because the consumption method of electronic payment in the mainland is too convenient!
She also looks forward to taking her friends to form an "Infinite Road" tour group after the epidemic improves. "They all said they want to climb the ladder and play zipline!"
She also said: "I hope Hong Kong audiences will have some new experiences after watching this show." As expressed in an opening remark in the show, "This 'infinite road' should be felt and understood by themselves. "
Now, her wish has come true. After the show was broadcast, many Hong Kong viewers left messages on Chen Beier's social media, thanking her and the show team for letting them see the development and prosperity of the motherland.
