What happens when a 2,300-year-old Chinese parable collides with cutting-edge AI storytelling? 🎬 Soaring Wings, a new bite-sized drama, reimagines Zhuangzi’s mythical Peng bird as a symbol of modern ambition – and it’s going viral among Gen-Z dreamers.
The show follows Wang Dapeng, a relatable millennial grappling with adulting woes and fading friendships. But when China’s homegrown C919 passenger jet takes flight in the storyline, it sparks an aviation renaissance in Wang’s life – with his childhood ‘Peng’ companion serving as both spirit animal and wake-up call. 🌤️
‘This isn’t just about airplanes,’ producer Li Xiaowei tells us. ‘It’s about reclaiming that fearless energy we had as kids.’ The series cleverly uses Zhuangzi’s ‘A fish becomes a bird’ metaphor to explore career pivots and personal growth.
