Unboxing the world: A blind-box livestreamer's global adventure

In 2024, cross-border e-commerce was highlighted in the Chinese government work report for the 11th consecutive year, with the annual "two sessions" consistently focusing on this booming trade trend. In this episode of WanderLens, English-language livestream host Geng Lu takes us into her livestream studio where we explore how tiny blind boxes are winning hearts worldwide.  

CGTN's Wander Lens 2025 project mails over cameras and invites people from all walks of life to share with us a glimpse – through the lens – of their lives' ups and downs. From snowy peaks to sunlit classrooms, our "Light Catchers" are armed with a camera, traversing cities, mountains and seas to capture all the fleeting blink-and-you'll-miss moments. Their mission: to help the world discover the hidden surprises and unique stories tucked away in the daily grind of their work, hobbies and passions.
