My Date with Rural China—-VOC.com.cn Unveils Season Two of I Am in Rural China

Published

on

By

CHANGSHA, China, Dec. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Modern China’s rural revitalization strategy is crafting a remarkable narrative of transformation across the countryside, while progressive opening-up policies encourage foreign visitors to delve deeper into the nation’s heartland. On December 26th, VOC.com.cn premiered the second season of its acclaimed series, I Am in Rural China. The show follows Teona Kvartskhava, an international guest, as she explores the villages of Hunan Province, offering viewers a firsthand look at the dynamic implementation of comprehensive rural revitalization. This captivating series invites a global audience to witness the dawn of a new era in China’s rural landscapes, showcasing the country’s evolving countryside to viewers worldwide.

Rice field came as the first surprise. Hunan is the largest rice grower and producer in China. Hunan provides the high-quality and tasty rice. Teona Kvartskhava, a foreigner hardly feeding on rice, was tempted to have plenty of it. In Qunle Village, Lixian County, Changde, she also experienced “Double Rush”, which is a time-honored agricultural event in China. An event that used to call for the joint efforts of all family members, has now become much easier thanks to technology.

Departing from Lixian County for the moment, Teona Kvartskhava embarked on an exciting trip of tastes in Rucheng, Chenzhou, Southern Hunan. Hunan people are keen and expert on peppery food and spicy taste dominates the Hunan cuisine. Hunan is also rich in varieties of peppers. Jingpo town, a well-known town where spicy food prevails. It is a producer of red cluster pepper, officially one of the hottest peppers in China. From the crowded market, to the red and yellow pepper planting base, and then to the modern processing pepper workshop, the small cluster pepper strung up all corners of the town, so that the original ordinary mountain town has become extraordinarily lively and affluent.

Of course, the “star” of the countryside here is not only agriculture, but also culture, which has also blossomed in this ancient land. As the birthplace of papermaking, China has preserved a unique handmade papermaking technique, which is used to make some “special” papers. In Shanghong Village, Liuyang, Teona Kvartskhava was lucky to meet two Chinese masters, who showed her hands-on experiences of “Gushan Tribute Paper” and “Floral Paper”. As the process progresses, the paper took shape in her hands, as if history and culture were meeting in front of her eyes, and became the “first paper” in Teona Kvartskhava’s life.

So,What’s rural China like? It’s about hospitable peasants, about various agricultural produce, about profound history and culture, about colorful intangible cultural heritage. It’s like a book telling numerous absorbing stories. Hopefully Teona Kvartskhava’ll be luckier to visit more villages for their unique interest and charm.
