🍎 Ready to explore a story of transformation that spans deserts and orchards? This month, the three-episode docu-series Apple Scent — Partnership in Khorgos kicks off with Episode 1, Hand in Hand, celebrating the fifteen-year legacy of the Suzhou-Khorgos pairing assistance program.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Xinjiang in the Chinese mainland, the episode follows five ordinary but inspiring individuals:
- Guli, an investment promotion officer who transformed uncertainty at the land port into bold confidence.
- Lai Yuning, a photojournalist capturing the fragrance of time through his lens.
- Gugu, a grassroots worker weaving the Industrial Park Experience into local growth.
- Baikerheni, a vocational school student whose welding sparks ignite big dreams.
- Wang Yong, a specialist tracing the cultural roots of the Apple City deep in the Gobi Desert.
Together, their stories form a vivid tapestry: from giving aid to building capacity, from project development to embracing fresh ideas. Episode 1 invites viewers to journey across mountains and deserts, honoring a pact made hand in hand and feeling the evocative Apple Scent that lingers after fifteen years.
