Film Director Chen, who went to Osaka, Japan to receive the award, said that he intended to portray the enduring human bonds forged by way of one traveler helping another, even though they are strangers to each other, the TTD said.
Since the release of the film two months ago, it has been viewed more than 18,000 times, and some viewers have left messages saying they must experience the Shen’ao Rail Bike themselves. [FULL STORY]
