This program is directed by Chen Xiaoqing for the first time, stepping from behind the camera to in front of it, presenting his own perspective to explore food and delve into the stories behind it. In this show, Chen Xiaoqing travels to eight different regions in China, embarking on a flavorful exploration journey accompanied by various guides. Among these guides are both Chen Xiaoqing's old friends and new acquaintances. They come from diverse backgrounds and identities, including philosophers, archaeologists, anthropologists, musicians, professional chefs, economists, writers, and more. Chen Xiaoqing uses food as a means to bring more people together, believing that "food is not only delicious but also a kind of adhesive that enables people to have greater understanding and communication."
