Ten years ago, Liu Tiantian swapped the island of Taiwan for Shenzhen’s buzzing streets. Today, he’s a star baker mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs – and his journey is just one of many featured in the new documentary series Diaries of Taiwan Youth 🎥.
The show spotlights young people from the Taiwan region building careers in the Greater Bay Area, a powerhouse zone spanning Guangdong Province, Hong Kong, and Macao. For Liu and his wife Huang Huijun, the road included failed recipes and sleepless nights before their bakery became a local favorite 🥖.
“What kept us going was the community’s support,” Liu says. Now, they pay it forward by offering free workshops to first-time business owners – proving that cross-strait connections can rise like perfect sourdough 🫶.
The series drops as more youth from Taiwan explore opportunities in the Chinese mainland’s innovation hubs. From tech startups to art collectives, their stories blend ambition with cultural exchange – and plenty of drama worthy of a K-drama 📈💥.
