In this episode of "Meet China," we present four compelling narratives that reflect the diverse cultural and industrial landscapes of the country. Our journey includes electric car racing in Shanghai, the lively Dounan Flower Market in Yunnan, an ecological recovery area in Yichun city, and an exploration of the artistic style of Chen Jianzhou, who draws from both contemporary and traditional influences.
We begin with an insider's perspective on the electric car racing championship series, Formula E, which recently made its debut in Shanghai. This event offers an exhilarating blend of motorsport thrill while serving as a platform to advocate for electric vehicles and sustainable transport solutions. Unlike conventional races, the Formula E circuit is distinguished by its silent electric engines and zero gas emissions, highlighting a pledge towards sustainability. Our team provides a firsthand account of the experience of witnessing an 'all-electric Formula 1' event in Shanghai.
Next, we travel to the Dounan Flower Market in southern Yunnan Province, where activity peaks at night as trucks deliver fresh blooms for grading and sorting at the Kunming International Flora Auction Trading Center. Flowers are classified into four grades to optimize profits, attracting brokers who bid on millions of flowers every day. Since its inception in 2002, this trading center has grown to become Asia's largest, marking Yunnan's ascent as a major player in the global flower industry after four decades of growth.
We then journey to Yichun, located in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, a city characterized by its lush forests and a past economy heavily reliant on wood production. Years of intensive logging left significant damage to the landscape and devastated much of the local ecosystem. However, a turning point arrived. In 2014, local authorities made the pivotal decision to stop commercial logging in natural forests, aiming to protect the environment. Our reporter visited Yichun to explore how this choice has catalyzed economic development and generated new job opportunities for its residents.
Lastly, we introduce Chinese contemporary artist Chen Jianzhou. He stands out not only for his distinctive artistic vision but also for his extraordinary life journey. Despite being hearing impaired, Chen has carved a unique path for himself over the past decade, drawing inspiration from the legendary Monkey King in the classic Chinese tale "Journey to the West." His artwork blends traditional Chinese culture with modern aesthetics, offering fresh perspectives and meanings to a character that is central to Chinese narratives.
