Super idol rewrites the script
Seeking better work-life balance, multi-talented celebrity with nearly 42 million Weibo followers broadcasts his relationship with nature and climbing, Xing Wen reports.
On May 20, the series became a gold award-winner in the series-documentary category at the United States' 46th Telly Awards.
Notably, his first encounter with climbing during production sparked a lasting passion, one he continues to pursue in the series' following season.
The new season, recently aired on Tencent Video, follows Wang on a six-week North American RV (recreational vehicle) road trip. Along the way, he trains at climbing spots, practicing disciplines such as traditional climbing, aid climbing, and deep-water soloing.
All of this builds toward the journey's ultimate goal — to complete a multiday ascent on the Liberty Cap's massive rock face in Yosemite National Park.
"Making this documentary is a great way to achieve work-life balance. I'm doing what I love while also working," Wang says.
