We had a very simple feeling of happiness during the entire shoot because of the sincere smiles on the faces of people we filmed. We just captured and recorded their happy moments, instead of asking them to pose for us. This made it easy for us to capture their happy lives," said Sun, adding that this happiness is based on China's unique development road with Chinese characteristics. 

China's efforts in rural vitalization, cultural confidence and high technology have led local people to a better life. During the journey, Sun found that what touched him the most was not the scenic views but the people they met along the way, from hard-working local villagers and officials to China's young Gen Zs.
