Dive into the timeless legend of Mazu, the ocean goddess born from the courageous spirit of Lin Moniang—a young woman who became a symbol of hope for sailors in ancient Fujian. CGTN's upcoming documentary 'The Journey of the Goddess' traces her cultural footprint from Meizhou Island, where her story began, to vibrant communities on Taiwan Island that still celebrate her legacy today.
The film captures the magic of Mazu's annual Chinese New Year procession, a colorful spectacle that draws crowds honoring her message of love and resilience. For centuries, her story has bridged the Taiwan Strait, resonating deeply with people on both sides.
Mark your calendars for February 3! This visually stunning documentary promises a heartfelt exploration of shared heritage—perfect for culture buffs, history lovers, and anyone craving a tale that transcends borders.
