Adventure documentary retraces perilous journeys of China's revolutionary heroes

An adventure documentary series featuring Chinese and foreign explorers retracing some of the perilous journeys soldiers and heroes took in China's revolutionary history will be released online on Tuesday.

Co-produced by Tencent Video, a Chinese streaming platform, and Discovery Channel, the six-episode Journey of Warriors series is set to air on Tencent Video on Tuesday evenings starting Nov 9 and on the Discovery Channel on Sunday evenings from Nov 28.

The doc series follows Chinese performers, including Wallace Chung Hon-leung, Dou Xiao, Zhang Xinyu, and Yan Xujia, and New Zealand adventurer Josh James through five action-packed trips.

The documentary brings to life real-life scenes of the dangers faced by Chinese Red Army soldiers marching through snowy mountains, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army soldiers braving freezing coldness, and the Red Detachment of Women marching in forests of southern China, among others.
