| To honour Chinese people of distinction who have risen to positions of eminence around the world, the series looks at their prestigious achievements and draws valuable lessons from their personal life experiences. Specially devised by RTHK as a biographical TV series, so far covers 13 distinguished personages, and since its initial broadcast, it has been swamped with the highest critical acclaim.
Profiled subjects, all internationally renowned successes in their own professions, include scientists, scholars, specialists in various fields, as well as artists and film directors, whose work have pushed back the boundaries not only in their respective fields, but for society as a whole as well.
A panoramic view of every aspect of the subjects' lives encompass: glimpses into their private lives through interviews with their families and following them on their daily routine; analyses of the political and social context to their achievements; and in-depth inquiry into the critical factors that have brought about their success.
Each of the profiled success stories is one of endless struggle, perseverance, diligence and passion. Every successful Chinese interviewed in the series has his or her own exceptional tale, which serves as an inspirational template for the next generation.

They are the first Chinese Nobel Laureates. "Parity non-conservation" means that the real world and the world in the mirror image are not in symmetry. Their discovery impacted upon the development of theoretical particle physics and is one of the great milestones in the scholarship of physics.
