Story shoot.

"A Bite of China" is an ode to gourmet food dedicated to ordinary workers. There is no "cooking master", no "gourmet expert", and no "cooking competition". Some of them involve digging lotus roots by hand for two hours. Picking bamboo shoots, fishing on stilts that only 5 people in China have inherited, Jilin's "fish boss" in his 70s, an old man from northern Shaanxi who sells yellow steamed buns, and a girl from Cicheng, Zhejiang who accompanies her grandmother to make rice cakes. "China on the Bite of the Tongue" quietly conveys the intelligent thinking and taste aesthetics produced by the Chinese people in their labor for thousands of years. Every dish of food can evoke a deep homesickness in the viewer. It is precisely because of these that this documentary presents a unique charm and appeal.
