🎥 This month, the three-part docu-series "Apple Scent — Partnership in Khorgos" premiered Episode 1: "Hand in Hand", celebrating the 15-year journey of the Suzhou-Khorgos pairing assistance program.
In this immersive episode, we meet:
- Guli, an investment promotion officer at the Khorgos land port in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, who turns uncertainty into confidence as she navigates cross-border trade 🤝.
- Lai Yuning, a photojournalist capturing the "fragrance of time" through his lens 📸.
- Gugu, a grassroots worker weaving the "Industrial Park Experience" into local development.
- Baikerheni, a vocational school student whose dreams spark to life under the glow of his welding torch 🔧.
- Wang Yong, a flexible-term specialist journeying deep into the Gobi Desert 🏜️ to trace the cultural roots of the so-called "Apple City".
Their stories weave a vibrant tapestry of transformation — from aid to empowerment, and from project builds to fresh ideas taking root.
Join this ride across mountains and deserts to honor a pact made hand in hand, hear echoes of growth in this rising desert city, and experience the evocative Apple Scent that lingers after 15 years 🍏.
