The title of the show comes from a popular song of the same name from 1985.
In each show, after short videos are broadcast, a group of guests discuss them.
About 20 short videos made by young people from various sectors of society are broadcast on the show, which piloted on Aug 31. A new episode is uploaded each week. It highlights the changes that the country and its people have experienced throughout the years from multiple perspectives.
Topics vary, ranging from the dining table, to TV animation, farming and traveling. Basically the changes Chinese people have witnessed over the decades are captured by the video uploaders, who were born in the 1980s, 1990s or the 2000s.
In one music video, a rapper presents a song dedicated to the people who have diligently worked at their positions, including doctors, firefighters, sanitation workers and border-guards.
"They are heroes, and they share the same great dream," the lyrics say.
In one video, a young woman plays three roles from different generations to show how fashion trends have been revived in China, while in another video, a group of fans of ancient culture show how the past still has a role to play, especially in terms of fashion.
In yet another video, a man mixes sound from old-film footage with videos he shot during his everyday life. The kaleidoscopic video gives a tantalizing glimpse of modern ways through the soundtrack of the past.
