This Is Shanghai Global Short Film Program award

The music video for All Rivers Run to the Sea has received the Outstanding Works Nomination at the "This Is Shanghai" Global Short Film Program.

Selected from more than 600 submissions from around the world, the music video was recognized as one of the program's outstanding works. In June 2026, it was officially announced as a selected project during the 2026 Shanghai TV Festival.

The "This Is Shanghai" Global Short Film Program is guided by the State Council Information Office, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the National Radio and Television Administration. It is jointly organized by the China International Communications Group (CICG), the CCTV Documentary Channel (CCTV-9), Shanghai Media Group (SMG), and Discovery Channel, with support from the Shanghai Municipal Information Office. The program is undertaken by the China Center for International Communication Development – Decoding China Studio and Real Media Co., Ltd.

All Rivers Run to the Sea is a commemorative single composed by Yu-Peng Chen to celebrate the first anniversary of his album Fantasyland. The project brought together a number of outstanding music creators from Bilibili and distinguished instrumentalists to collaborate on both the recording and the music video.

Blending the poetic aesthetics of traditional Chinese culture with the unique spirit of Shanghai, the work paints a musical portrait of a city defined by openness, inclusiveness, and innovation. Through expansive yet intimate musical storytelling, it celebrates dreams, encounters, and journeys toward new horizons.

Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who contributed to the composition, performance, filming, and production of this project. It is through the dedication and creativity of every collaborator that this work came to life. We invite you to experience once again this musical tribute to the city, where music and moving images come together in harmony.
