From lunar missions reviving ancient myths to digital classrooms bridging rural-urban divides, China’s transformative decade unfolds in Charting the Decade, a documentary premiering February 27 on CGTN. The film weaves grassroots narratives with monumental milestones, offering a panoramic view of societal evolution.
A special produce train symbolizes rural revitalization, while an online classroom on the Tibetan Plateau highlights tech-driven education access. A spacecraft bound for the moon mirrors ambitions blending tradition and innovation – a theme echoed in vibrant displays of hanfu clothing reclaiming cultural identity.
The Belt and Road Initiative’s modern Silk Road anchors the global dimension, connecting China’s growth to international partnerships. Viewers witness how individual lives intersect with national development – farmers gaining e-commerce skills, engineers perfecting lunar modules, and artisans preserving heritage crafts.
Analysts note the timing: ‘This visual chronicle arrives as global audiences seek deeper understanding of China’s role in tech adoption and cultural preservation,’ says Li Wei, a Beijing-based cultural commentator. The documentary’s release coincides with rising international interest in sustainable development models.
