How do you evaluate the program "In That Far Place" on Jade Channel?

With a four-person filming team and an eight-day visa, the production is a bit unexpected. "In That Distant Place" is positioned as a travel program. Its most prominent point is to observe North Korea from a "Hong Kong-style perspective," and this perspective comes from the host Hong Yongcheng.

Hung is a member of the post-80s generation in Hong Kong.

4. Funny conversations often reveal a sense of social responsibility, and occasionally raise some questions worth thinking about:

< p>One of the episodes talks about the construction of Pyongyang. The following is the conversation between Hong and the supervisor:

Hong: In Hong Kong, an ordinary white-collar worker needs to struggle for 20-30 years to buy a flat of about 300 square feet.

Supervisor: As expected, socialist North Korea is better. We all have public housing provided by the government for free.
