"People who can pay attention to culture are very valuable."

Even today, documentaries are a niche category compared to other forms of film, but for those who really love it, documentaries can burn something in the heart and make people think deeply. In terms of documentary production, the number of existing practitioners has increased a lot, which shows that people's demand for "watching documentaries to improve themselves" is increasing.
