Last year (2021), the country announced that poverty alleviation was a complete victory, which I think is also very remarkable.
How can it be done?
In fact, many people will have question marks.
I think our show is really about seeing the big from the small.
We went to every point, every area that was once extremely impoverished, to interview those representatives, and from their stories, we could stitch together a blueprint for a progressive society.
[Commentary] From the cliffs to the Gobi Desert, from the plateau to the Grand Canyon, in 3 months, Chen Beier and his party of 5 traveled through 6 provinces, "immersed" and recorded the lives of local residents. There are quite a few challenges.
What impressed her most was the 2556-level ladder in Cliff Village.

During the climb, it was actually very hard, and I felt a little dizzy when I was halfway through the climb.
But I am asking myself to have personal experience, because I think that only if I have stepped on and climbed to every level and every level like this, can I deeply experience those villagers who have been there for generations. It is living in the cliff village, their mentality, how they feel.
And after the filming, we went to their new resettlement house the next day, and then I could really feel their psychological level, from despair to hope, and sincerely feel that their current happiness is not easy to come by. .
[Commentary] Under the grand theme of "poverty alleviation", Chen Beier chose to cut from a vivid personal story, and the shooting style is simple and sincere.
In her opinion, "Infinite Road" is to tell the Chinese story clearly.

After the people are lifted out of poverty, we are also heading towards a better and happier road, and this is also an infinite road that depends on the joint efforts of all of us.
So on this road, we can tell our Chinese stories carefully, and we can take photos of everything that everyone should know and deserve to know.
The English version is also specially produced, and I hope to let audiences at home and abroad know that the life of our people is really getting better.
[Commentary] After the program was broadcast, it was also widely praised in Hong Kong.
Chen Beier hopes that the people of Hong Kong can also come to the mainland more often to experience the development and changes of the motherland.

For example, when I introduced coffee from Yunnan and organic tea from Hainan, the (Hong Kong audience) responded very enthusiastically, and they all asked me where those agricultural products could be bought and supported.
I think through this program, our audience friends in Hong Kong feel that the country is developing so well and so fast now.
Then I encouraged them very much. If they felt that the show resonated with them, was moved or curious, they must also be encouraged, that is, they should take the time to return to the motherland to experience it for themselves.
[Explanation] Talking about future plans, Chen Beier revealed that the sister chapter of "Infinite Road" will start in April.
Together with the team, she will continue to tell more Chinese stories through the lens.
