Minning Town

2021 · 1 season

A grounded, earnest chronicle of communal struggle and gradual triumph, watching feels like witnessing history through intimate, hard-won human stories.

Created by: Kong Sheng, Sun Molong
Genres: Drama
Starring: Huang Xuan, Zhang Jiayi, Yan Ni

Overview: Since the 1990s, the people and cadre of Xihaigu responded to the national poverty alleviation policy, completed a relocation program, and, with counterpart assistance from Fujian, through hard work and relentless exploration, transformed the windblown, rocky "Dry Beach" into the highly valuable "Golden Beach." They built Minning Town from scratch.
