從一個平平無奇的窩窩頭開始, 細述飢荒時代到糧票時代, 為填飽肚子的難忘故事. 由一窮二白到豐衣足食到窮奢極侈, 十三億人價值觀大轉變. 如今人人有飽飯吃, 繼續追求的是什麼?

China once saw its own traditional culture as the greatest obstacle to achieving national greatness. Now that the sixty-year-old nation has impressed the world with the absolute principle of development, it wants to back up its superpower aspirations with the soft power of culture. Are Beijing's effort's a genuine tribute to Chinese traditions, or just propaganda packaged in cultural cliches?

文革十年, 傳統文化破碎零落; 時至今日, 文化復興熱潮湧現. 京劇、祭祀,昔日被打為封建落後, 今日被視為傳統瑰寶. 大型現代表演, 融合傳統, 對外輸出中國文明. 然而, 有評論謂, 中國創造力薄弱, 對人權的尊重有倒退跡象. 金錢以外, 中國文明如何得到國際社會尊重?

China's breakneck speed of urban development has been dubbed "The China Speed". In the 2nd of our three-part show to mark the 60th anniversary of the PRC's founding, we visit a mammoth infrastructure, the Shanghai HongQiao transportation hub. This project may be the world's most complex hub of its kind, combining airport, railway including a maglev, metro and road transports. It's geared to make Shanghai the centre of manpower, logistics and wealth in the YangTze river delta. What's also remarkable is that it's set to take only four years from conception to completion. This project is a symbol of China's organisational and mobilisation prowess. But achieving the speed has given rise to a myriad problems including forced demolitions that wreck lives and environmental hazards. Is rapid progress worth the soical costs?

In ancient China, 60 years is considered a calendrical cycle. From dire poverty to eradicating starvation, from political fanaticism to affluence, the People's Republic of China has seen great changes in six decades. In our three-part series, we start with the experiences of people born in 1949. They are workers, peasants, blackguards and intellectuals. Their lives are intertwined in tumultuous times, emerging from chaos to abundance to greed and a lack of faith. From their stories, we take a closer look at the changes over 6 decades, and the differences brought by the reform and opening up policy.
