About Qinghai Satellite TV:
Qinghai Satellite TV is a province-operated nationwide satellite broadcaster located in Qinghai province in western China. Its target audience is women above 30. In recent years, star-producing audition shows have won the favor of the younger audience. Amidst this trend, Qinghai Satellite TV has broken from the pack to produce a show geared towards entertaining the entire family. According to Qinghai Satellite TV, "It's a new experience for us to broadcast an entertainment program that incorporates the Japanese documentary touch." "There hasn't been a show like this before" and "there were so many touching moments" were among the comments from viewers.
