How is China tackling inequality and building a more equitable society? A new documentary series, 'China's Road to Common Prosperity', is putting the spotlight on everyday farmers and rural communities, offering a raw, unfiltered look at their lives. 🌱
Produced by CGTN, the series dives into villages across the country, highlighting stories of resilience and innovation. From tech-savvy farmers using livestreams to sell crops 🚜💻 to families benefiting from upgraded healthcare and education systems, the show paints a vivid picture of progress—and the challenges that remain.
One episode features a tea grower in Fujian who turned her family’s small plot into a thriving cooperative, doubling local incomes. Another follows a young entrepreneur in Gansu reviving traditional crafts through e-commerce. 📦 \"These aren’t just policies on paper,\" the narrator emphasizes. \"They’re about people walking forward together.\"
While the series celebrates milestones like lifting 800 million people out of poverty since the 1980s, it doesn’t shy away from tough questions: How can urban-rural gaps be bridged faster? What role does sustainable tech play? 💡
For global viewers, it’s a rare peek into China’s development priorities—and a reminder that 'prosperity' means something different in every rice field, market stall, and schoolhouse.
