Chief Director: Chen Xiaoqing

Chen Xiaoqing has two identities. One is a documentary director. He started shooting documentaries in 1991. He became famous with his masterpiece "Dragon's Back" and has won many awards. Won awards from international and domestic TV festivals; the other is a food columnist who loves tasting and studying food. When his two most beloved careers, documentary and food, collided, sparks flew.

Zhang Ailing once used white roses and red roses to describe men’s struggles when facing different types of women. As a foodie, Chen Xiaoqing devotes more hesitation to the choice of food - "For example, which is better, cabbage with moss or red cabbage with moss?"

Chen Xiaoqing's foodie skills, as a good friend of Zhejiang Xia Yanping, senior editor of satellite TV documentaries, has experienced this many times. When he was worried about food in Beijing, he only had to send a text message to Chen Xiaoqing, and the other party would take the trouble to send more than a dozen recommendations, and his "living map" radiated across the country.

But Chen Xiaoqing never recommends food in restaurants. Most of them are roadside stalls and private dishes. "When he first discovered Jiangnan Yi, no one in Hangzhou knew about it," Xia Yanping said.

As a result, the attitude of looking for the simple and safe original flavor of China runs through "A Bite of China". "Chinese people's love for food stems from their love for life. Big taste must be light. Often in the most remote and closed kitchens, you can taste the best taste of the world." Chen Xiaoqing said.

"Make this documentary with respect and emotion for food." This is Chen Xiaoqing's initial and final positioning of "A Bite of China".

In fact, this sincerity can be seen just from the time and manpower consumed by this documentary: "From receiving the task to broadcasting, it took 13 months, and nearly 70 shooting locations across the country were used. , including 3 early-stage researchers, 8 directors, 15 photographers, and 3 editors.
