Beneath the starlight: Capturing the shimmer of poles and people

In this captivating episode of the micro-documentary series The Journey of Chasing Stars, we are introduced to Qiu Bi, a woman whose life exists at the intersection of extreme adventure and intimate storytelling.

"I just hope my lens can be a pen, writing the stories of the Earth's polar majesty and its fragility", said Qiu.

As a polar expeditioner, polar photographer, and astrophotographer, Qiu Bi has dedicated her life to documenting the world from a unique perspective. Her lens acts as a bridge between two seemingly opposite worlds: one half is turned toward the vast, frozen silence of the Earth's ends, while the other captures the warm, flickering "fireworks of humanity" found in everyday life.
