The Pacific Ocean is vast, stretching across thousands of miles. Yet it is also small enough for a single piece of fresh fruit, a flock of migratory birds, a shared dream, or a partnership to bring the economies along its shores closer together. As the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Informal Meeting approaches, the documentary series "Shining APEC Journey" premiered on November 9th. Comprising eight episodes, the series uses vivid documentary footage to show how APEC brings its member economies closer together and brightens the everyday lives of ordinary people.

What exactly is APEC, and what benefits does it bring? To some, APEC may seem like an abstract concept confined to high-level meetings and official documents. Going beyond abstract explanations, "Shining APEC Journey" tells the story through a journey. Beginning in Guangdong, China, the documentary travels across the Pacific and visits several APEC member economies, showcasing the rich diversity of Asia-Pacific cooperation through a series of vivid stories about everyday life.

In "Shining APEC Journey", we see, on the stage of Asia-Pacific cooperation, people pursuing their dreams, technology and goods flowing smoothly across mountains and oceans, and inspiring exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.

The Pacific Ocean may remain vast, but closer ties among APEC member economies can be forged step by step. We believe that as Asia-Pacific cooperation continues to gain momentum, countless more "shining APEC journeys" are setting sail.

亚太携手的故事，何以落地为“闪亮的日常”？

太平洋很大，大到横亘万里；但它也很小，小到一枚鲜果、一群候鸟、一个梦想、一份合作，就能将沿岸的经济体紧密相连……在亚太经合组织（APEC）第三十三次领导人非正式会议即将启幕之际，纪录片《闪亮的APEC之旅》于11月9日起开播。该纪录片共有8集，将用生动纪实的影像告诉我们，APEC连接各成员经济体、也连接普通人的生活，成就了一个个“闪亮的日常”。

APEC究竟是什么，带来了怎样的利好？在一些人的印象中，它或许是一个停留在高规格会场和文件中的抽象符号。《闪亮的APEC之旅》跳出概念化阐释，以“一场旅程”为叙事主线，从中国广东出发，跨越太平洋，深入APEC多个成员经济体，通过一幕幕鲜活的日常故事，展现亚太合作的绚丽画卷。

从《闪亮的APEC之旅》中，我们可以看到，在亚太合作的“舞台”之上，有尽情逐梦的“你我他”，还有跨越山海畅通流动的技术和货物，更有文明交流互鉴的动人气象。

太平洋的宽度是既定的，但APEC成员经济体之间的亲近，是可以一步步走出来的。我们相信，在亚太合作的热潮中，还有无数个“闪亮的APEC之旅”，正在扬帆起航。
