Exploring Shandong Province Through Documentaries: SDRT documentary promotion event at SEGi University in Malaysia

JINAN, China, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from Shandian News: On September 23, the "Exploring Shandong Province Through Documentaries" promotion event, organized by Shandong Radio and Television Station (SDRT), was held at SEGi University in Malaysia. Since 2019, the documentary team of SDRT has focused on three key themes—natural geography, cultural history, and social realities of Shandong—creating and releasing over 70 documentary series comprising more than 300 episodes. These works showcase the natural, historical, and cultural beauty of Shandong. Among them, documentaries such as Life at the Yellow River Delta and Mount Tai have been broadcast in Belt and Road Initiative partner countries, BRICS nations, and Arab states, guiding audiences to understand China through its magnificent landscapes and earning widespread appreciation from viewers worldwide. Currently, the second season of Life at the Yellow River Delta has been completed and premiered on the National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) on September 27. The documentary, Master Yijing, produced in collaboration with Malaysia, not only traces the millennium-old connection between the two countries but also promotes mutual learning among civilizations through cultural empathy, injecting new spiritual vitality into people-to-people exchanges between China and Malaysia in the new era. SDRT remains committed to using documentaries as a medium to showcase the profound heritage and contemporary vibrancy of the Qilu region from multiple perspectives. In natural geography, works like Mount Tai and Life at the Yellow River Delta present a majestic symphony of landscapes from a grand vision. In the realm of history and culture, The Legacy of Three Confucian Sites through Ages and The Wu Liang Shrine delve into decoding the cultural DNA of millennia-old traditions. While for social realism, A New Portrait of Yimeng and Vegetable Town of China vividly portray the everyday life and new vitality pulsating through this land. These documentary works go beyond chronicling Shandong's development; they are dedicated to bringing Qilu culture to the global stage. SDRT looks forward to engaging in more in-depth collaborations with partners both in China and abroad, to use the power of imagery to narrate China's stories and present a truthful, multidimensional, and comprehensive portrait of the new era.

Cities unite behind cultural preservation

Attendees of Global Mayors Dialogue highlight heritage conservation DUNHUANG, China, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from chinadaily.com.cn: Dunhuang, Gansu province, was once a hub where Eastern and Western civilizations met on the ancient Silk Road — with the Mogao Grottoes as a living witness, boasting vibrant Buddhist murals and sculptures. Guests engage in discussions on the opportunities and challenges of cultural urban governance during the main dialogue session of the "Global Mayors Dialogue · Dunhuang" in Dunhuang, Gansu province, Oct 13, 2025. [Photo by Chen Zebing/chinadaily.com.cn] Today, it still uses its cultural heritage to help cities of diverse cultural backgrounds understand and collaborate with one another, as participants at a dialogue agreed on Monday. The 2025 "Global Mayors Dialogue • Dunhuang" was held in Dunhuang from Saturday to Monday, with guests participating in cultural experiences in the city during the first two days. The official opening ceremony kicked off on Monday, under the theme "A Symphony of Civilizations, Resonance in Harmony", aiming to implement the Global Civilization Initiative and build a more effective international communication system. The event welcomed 200 attendees, both from China and abroad, including 23 international representatives from government delegations and cultural institutions across nine countries. "Over the years, we have developed a set of core conservation technologies to protect ancient murals, sculptures and grotto temples. These practices can not only be applied to the conservation of the Mogao Grottoes, but also provide valuable experiences for other countries," said Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. The academy's cultural heritage conservation pattern has been promoted and applied in many key cultural heritage sites across China. He added that the next plan is to expand such efforts to the protection of cultural relics in Belt and Road countries, including Kyrgyzstan. During the ceremony, Dunhuang officials signed letters of intent on establishing sister-city relations with Garni, Kotayk province, Armenia, as well as friendly exchange city relations with Manisa city, Turkiye. "Both cities share a commitment to protecting cultural heritage. I'm impressed how Dunhuang promotes its deep culture via cultural and creative products and intangible cultural heritage," said Burak Deste, general secretary of Manisa Metropolitan Municipality. He shared the city's experiences and vision on the preservation of cultural heritage and expressed hope that more people from both nations will visit each other's countries to explore magnificent historical sites and gain a deeper understanding of each other's culture and history. Dunhuang officials also signed a memorandum on further enhancing friendly relations with Venice, Italy. "The two cities will cooperate in various fields, including cultural heritage conservation, commerce, and education," said Massimo Andreoli, chairman of the Venice Carnival and artistic director of the carnival's opening ceremony. He believed that for cities like Dunhuang and Venice with rich cultural heritage, the challenge lies in striking a proper balance between tradition and innovation. Tradition refers to the preservation of traditional manufacturing, while innovation means leveraging the opportunities offered by new communication and promotional tools including artificial intelligence. "Cities across the globe share common challenges such as environmental protection. It's important to have such a dialogue for participants from different countries to share our views," he said. He noted that Dunhuang was a symbolic place to host the event, just as it once served as a strategic gateway for cross-cultural exchange along the ancient Silk Road. "It's necessary to have such international cultural exchange, as it facilitates vibrant interactions among different civilizations, making this a mutually beneficial endeavor," said Steven Back, representative of the Hungarian National Museum in China. He noted that the Digital Dunhuang project enables both Chinese and international scholars to better understand and learn more about Dunhuang.

Chinese Actress Tiffany Tang Takes the Golden Panda Best Actress in Television: Holding True with Craft, Shining Bright in Changing Times

SHANGHAI, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Golden Panda Awards, jointly hosted by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the People's Government of Sichuan Province, is a major international film and television cultural award permanently based in Chengdu, Sichuan, held every two years. It comprises three main events — the Golden Panda International Cultural Forum, the Golden Panda Grand Ceremony, and Golden Panda Night — and its mission is to use film and television as a vehicle, with the giant panda as a cultural symbol, to promote cultural exchange, mutual learning among civilizations, and the universal values of humanity. The awards are presented in four categories — film, TV drama, documentary, and animation — plus Special Jury Awards, totaling 27 prizes. Within the TV-drama category are key honors like Best Series, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Leading Actor and Actress, and other major awards. The 2nd Golden Panda Awards took place from September 12th to 13th, 2025, in Chengdu, Sichuan. International film and television professionals brought home top honors: Brazilian actress Delis Weinberg won Best Actress in the Film category for her role as Teresa in O Último Azul; Danish actress Trine Dyrholm earned Best Supporting Actress in Film for her portrayal of Dagmar in The Girl with the Needle; British director James Strong won Best Director in the TV-drama category for Mr. Bates vs The Post Office, among others. Chinese actress Tiffany Tang, for her brilliant portrayal of Miss Wang in Blossoms Shanghai, won the Best Actress award in the TV-drama category at the 2nd Golden Panda Awards. In Blossoms Shanghai, Miss Wang is a character rich in both the spirit of the times and personal charisma, holding onto the belief "I am my own dock", fighting through both career and life against the backdrop of changing times, embodying the individual struggle as well as the core spirit of contemporary women who are independent and resilient. Through her nuanced performance, Tiffany Tang brings out the character's vibrant life force and unyielding will, giving Miss Wang both a sense of weight rooted in her era and genuine warmth — making her one of the memorable, classic figures in the series. This substantial award, together with her strong acting chops, perfectly validates her professional pursuit of "rewarding audiences with high-quality works." At the concurrent Golden Panda International Cultural Forum, Li Xingwen, Vice-Chairman of the China Literary and Art Critics Association; Zhao Youxiu, Executive Producer and Production Head of Heard Island; Guo Jingyu, Chairman and Director of G.H.Y Culture & Media; Feng Wei, President of Greater China & Vice President Asia-Pacific of The Motion Picture Association of America; Bob Underwood, Head of the International Committee of the Writers Guild of America; and actress Tiffany Tang all shared deep insights on emerging trends like the light-weighting of film-and-TV content and shifts in creative modes. Among them, Tiffany Tang drew widespread attention for her sharp perception of industry development and her sincere dedication to the craftsmanship. When speaking of today's "light-weight" trend in the industry, Tiffany believes that the rise of short series (miniseries / shorter-format TV dramas) and boutique productions do not form an adversarial relationship with long-form TV or film. Rather, they reflect the industry's adaptation to changing times and viewer demands. From an actor's perspective, she views short series as a "reminder and spur" to long dramas—pushing them to sharpen their content, to be more gripping and more astonishing. To her, a flourishing entertainment landscape needs diverse voices and forms; competition fuels progress. Whether long stories or short ones—whether concise or expansive—the essence lies in fitting the story's form to its content. Such diversity not only offers more creative playgrounds for creators and actors, it allows the industry, through experimentation, to find expressions that are truer to the core of each story. In the digital era, as creators of content and audiences themselves collaborate more—via user-generated content, remixing, fan creations—Tiffany points out that a work's life no longer ends at broadcast: "show's release is just the beginning." Audiences now re-interpret, clip, remix, and re-create content. That places higher demands on an actor's performance: it has to withstand not only the scrutiny of the original piece, but also survive dissection, recombination, magnification. Therefore, in her creative process she intentionally leaves room—spaces and codes—for interpretation, allowing the character and the audience to interact more, building a symbiotic relationship. At the forum she shared her interpretation of this role: the resilience in Miss Wang and her belief that "I am my own dock" are not just the spiritual core of the character, but also a mirror of the spirit of contemporary striving women. "Even when Miss Wang lives in a different era, audiences can still feel from her growth that a woman keeps her tenacity in both smooth sailing and adversity." According to Tiffany, it is precisely this timeless resonance that makes Miss Wang a moving, classic figure. When asked whether this role might become a label and difficult to surpass in the future, she gave a powerful answer: "Miss Wang will grow, and I, Tiffany Tang, will grow too." This composure and certainty not only show her clear understanding of character building, but also signal her steadfast attitude toward continuous breakthroughs in her acting journey. Her natural smile and confident presence in front of the camera further let fans feel the unique charm and positive energy radiating from within. From the lively, vivid Miss Wang in Blossoms Shanghai, to her deep reflections on industry development, and now holding the Golden Panda Award for Best Actress in Television high in her hands—throughout it all, Tiffany Tang has stayed true to her acting roots with craftsmanship. In this time of rapid change in film and TV, she shows by doing that a real actor not only absorbs what the era offers but also guards what is genuine, consistently delivering works that feel warm and weighty. Her perseverance and passion not only help her to keep pushing boundaries in her career, but also win her honors and applause on the global stage. The future, undoubtedly, will see her shine all the brighter. About Legend Films Limited Legend Films Limited is founded in 2020, active in the film and entertainment industry, as a Media Consulting Agency Authorized by Tiffany Tang's Studio.

A Glimpse into the Future of "People, Cars and Life": The 2025 Chery International User Summit Set to Open

WUHU, China, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the global automotive industry rides the wave of a once-in-a-century transformation, a new era marked by openness and integration is unfolding. The role of automakers is evolving—from being mere providers of transportation to becoming co-builders of an interconnected mobility ecosystem. Yet, the journey from simple product trade to deep value resonance, from meeting basic mobility needs to shaping modern lifestyles, is one filled with challenges and breakthroughs. As a world-class enterprise in green and intelligent mobility technology, Chery Group has spent the past 28 years forging a path from product export to cultural integration—and now to co-creating lifestyles with users around the globe. Today, this remarkable journey is about to enter a new chapter. The 2025 Chery International User Summit will officially open on October 17 in Wuhu, China. More than a celebration of technology and innovation, the summit will be a grand gathering for millions of users worldwide to look back on the road traveled and envision the future together. Vision: A Journey Shared with the World From the moment Chery's first vehicles drove overseas in 2001, to the present where its cars travel the roads of over 120 countries and regions, every kilometer represents a story of trust and companionship. When a Brazilian father drives his CHERY to pick up his wife, or a German family chooses an OMODA for their weekend getaway—these everyday moments compose the living chronicle of how Chery has grown from Wuhu to the world. Chery Group has become the fastest-rising automaker in the 2025 Fortune Global 500 Today, Chery Group has ranked as China's leading passenger vehicle exporter for 22 consecutive years, becoming the first Chinese independent automotive brand to surpass five million cumulative overseas sales and earning the trust of more than 17.72 million users worldwide. Yet, Chery's globalization is far more than the accumulation of sales figures — it is a profound journey from commercial presence to community integration. Guided by its global philosophy of "In somewhere, For somewhere, Be somewhere," Chery has established eight overseas R&D centers, gaining deep insights into local markets and user needs while delivering tailored products and services. From cooling systems optimized for the Middle East's scorching climates to precision chassis tuning that caters to European driving preferences, Chery's localized operations have allowed it to grow not only as a mobility partner and a household name for families worldwide, but also as an active contributor to local economies and communities. Evolution: From Product Operation to Ecosystem Co-Creation For Chery, an automobile has long transcended the notion of being a cold mechanical tool. It is a bridge of emotion that connects people, and a "third space" that carries lifestyle, identity, and imagination. Rooted in this understanding, Chery has evolved its vision from product operation to ecosystem co-creation, giving rise to the WCWL (With Creative, With Love) user ecosystem. Chery supports UNICEF’s global education programme At the heart of WCWL lie Creative and Love. Creative symbolizes infinite possibilities, while Love represents heart-to-heart connection. Whether it is through ESG initiatives co-developed with UNICEF and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)—embedding social responsibility into the brand's DNA; or through innovative technologies such as the AiMOGA Robotics and Argos robot dog, bringing "a trusted intelligent assistant for humanity" into everyday life; or through co-created lifestyle products like iCAUR-life, transforming user imagination into reality—each example vividly illustrates the living spirit of the WCWL ecosystem. In this two-way journey between brand and users, traditional boundaries between supply and demand are dissolving. The automotive experience is extending far beyond mobility itself, reaching deeply into every aspect of users' lives. An open ecosystem covering people, cars, and life is gradually taking shape—one in which every user is not only a product owner, but also a co-creator of the ecosystem and a co-sharer of its value. Opening: A Global Rendezvous with the Future Years of innovation and exploration will soon culminate in a moment of brilliance at the 2025 Chery International User Summit, opening on October 17. As the centerpiece of the event, the Chery International Eco-Exhibition will present the full WCWL ecosystem matrix—a vivid embodiment of Chery's global vision and diversified brand strategy. Inside this exhibition hall—an immersive reflection of Chery's globalization journey and multi-brand evolution—visitors will relive Chery's "brand trilogy" and revisit the shining milestones it has achieved alongside users worldwide. Here, guests will experience Chery's diverse brand universe: from CHERY, representing hybrid technology, intelligent electrification, and family-first values; to OMODA & JAECOO, co-creating better lifestyles with a new generation of young users; from EXEED, redefining luxury, technology, and new energy; to iCAUR with the slogan "classic never fades". And for those seeking refined inspiration, the world's first LEPAS Global Boutique Store will offer a unique showcase of Chery's personalized approach to modern living—crafted for diverse user circles and their individual aspirations. Within this space, visitors will experience the warmth of cutting-edge technology. Through immersive displays in hybrid, electric, and intelligent driving innovations, guests will witness how technology empowers a better, more human-centered life. Beyond technology, a "User Co-Creation Living Room" will bring the human touch to the forefront. In creative spaces like the Coffee Library and Elegant Lifestyle Marketplace, users can exchange ideas with like-minded enthusiasts and discover co-created products born from real user inspiration and imagination. This is not merely an exhibition—it is an intimate encounter with the lifestyle of the future. From exploring how technology can seamlessly integrate into daily life, to connecting with a global community of kindred spirits, to engaging in thought-provoking conversations with Chery's engineering minds—every participant becomes a protagonist in this ever-evolving "dream space." Together, users and Chery will jointly define a new paradigm for "People, Cars and Life"—one that reflects the imagination, sustainability, and emotional connection of our shared era. AiMOGA robot Mornine From a provider of mobility products to a co-creator of a diversified global mobility ecosystem, Chery's growth journey has always been one of walking side by side with its users. The 2025 Chery International User Summit is not only a reflection of past achievements, but also the starting point of a shared vision—where Chery and its global users join hands to shape a smarter, greener, and more beautiful way of mobility and living. Together, we look forward to witnessing at this grand event a future of travel that is more open, more human, and filled with infinite possibilities.

People's Daily Survey Reveals Strong Consensus across Asia-Pacific: Building Regional Community Reflects Public Aspiration

BEIJING, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily: A report titled "An Asia-Pacific of Vitality: Public Opinion Across 16 Countries" was released on Oct. 13 by People's Daily at the 2025 China-South Korea Media Cooperation Forum in Seoul. Participants examining the report booklet at the conference. Photo by Wan Yu from People's Daily The report reveals that people across the region view the entire Asia-Pacific as an interdependent community with common interests and a shared future. They support enhanced cooperation among Asia-Pacific economies to build a dynamic, harmonious and prosperous Asia-Pacific community. Cover of the Report Booklet According to the survey, over 80 percent of respondents acknowledge the contributions of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to regional economic development, social progress, and improvement of people's well-being. More than 70 percent support their own country engaging more actively and deeply within the APEC framework. Over 70 percent look forward to building an open, dynamic, resilient and peaceful Asia-Pacific community by 2040. These findings demonstrate resounding public desire across the region to deepen APEC cooperation and develop an open regional economy. As a major APEC member, China actively engages in practical cooperation with other member economies, sharing the opportunities of its high-quality development through high-level opening up and continuously contributing positive energy to regional peace, stability and prosperity. Nearly 60 percent of respondents say China plays an important role in promoting sustainable growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific; 83 percent believe China's development experience provides insights for their country; and 41 percent hope their country will strengthen economic, security, and people-to-people cooperation and exchanges with China. The survey was jointly initiated by the International News Department of People's Daily and the Global Times Institute. Among the 21 APEC member economies, this survey selected 16 representative Asia-Pacific countries based on economic size, population, and the feasibility of sampling, namely Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Malaysia, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam. Between August 25 and September 12, 9,077 valid responses were collected through multilingual questionnaires administered in 11 languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. The report presents the region's clear public demand for open cooperation and multilateralism, providing solid popular support for building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future. At a time of global uncertainty and geopolitical turbulence, the survey indicates a strong regional commitment to multilateralism and deeper regional cooperation toward an Asia-Pacific community - a stance of substantive significance for regional stability. The 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will convene later this month in South Korea. Next year, China will host APEC for the third time. Together with all parties, China will advance the implementation of the Putrajaya Vision 2040, promote the building of an Asia-Pacific community and a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, deliver practical cooperation outcomes across sectors, and inject fresh momentum into economic growth in the Asia-Pacific and the wider world.
