I. Theme Planning

Connecting the world and people, bridge is a symbol of openness, inclusiveness, and international understanding. To thoroughly implement the spirit of the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, highlight openness as a distinctive feature of Chinese modernization, effectively tell China’s story, and enhance the image of China as a major power in the new era, the Hubei Provincial Radio and Television Bureau and Hubei Media Group, under the guidance of the Publicity Department of the National Radio and Television Administration and the Publicity Department of the CPC Hubei Provincial Committee, are hosting the international short video solicitation and exhibition event: Bridges Witness a New Era: From the Yangtze River to the World. The event aims to globally solicit and select a series of visually, audibly, and emotionally engaging short videos. These videos will be showcased through national mainstream media, Hubei International Communication Center’s overseas network matrix known as Open Hubei, and international mainstream media platforms. With a focus on bridges, the event seeks to highlight the great achievements of China’s reform and opening-up and present a thriving, confident, open, and inclusive image of modern China.

I.Submission Requirements

Submissions should closely align with the theme “Bridges Witness a New Era.” Participants are encouraged to document inspiring stories from their own experiences or those of friends, highlighting the innovation and creativity brought about by bridges and the significant changes they have brought to local people’s work and lives. These stories should showcase the high-quality development achievements of China in the new era, the development of new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions, and how these contribute to global economic growth by injecting new vitality and creating new opportunities, thereby promoting a peaceful and prosperous world.

The bridge has already seen over 100 million crossings, leading to the formation of a living and residential circle around Malé.
