Celebrating the lives of people who care for others

Produced by the Fujian Women's Federation, Fujian Working Committee on Children and Women, and Fujian Satellite TV Center, the eight-episode series focusing on the struggles of Fujian women in different times was aired on the South-East TV recently. The three seasons have received 350 million clicks online.

"As an old revolutionary area, Fujian has witnessed many important events in the history of the Communist Party of China, so we have many red resources and revolutionary predecessors. It's an attractive angle to see how the female Party members follow the Party and made their respective contribution in different periods of the history," says Lin Yeping, president of Fujian Women's Federation.

"We choose the most symbolic figures of different times, namely the New Democratic Revolution (1919-49), Socialist Revolution and Construction (1949-78), Reform and Opening-up and Socialist Modernization (1978-2012) and the New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (2012 to present).

"Some of them are well-known, like Lin Qiaozhi, one of the founders of modern Chinese gynecology and Xie Xide, former president of Fudan University. And we try to show details that people may not be familiar with. Some others are typical figures who can represent a group of people, like community worker Lin Dan and police Lin Chunlan," says Guo Quan, deputy director of Fujian Satellite TV Center.
