A media event was held on Sept 1 in Beijing for the seventh season of the romantic social reality show Heart Signal. The show began airing on Tencent Video on Sept 2.
This season of Heart Signal is centered around the theme "falling in love across cities", focusing on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and showcasing the relationships and values of young men and women navigating cross-city lives.
Chinese writer Rao Xueman, serving as a first-time celebrity observer, claimed that she was deeply moved by the courage shown by Gen Z in their approach to love.
Chief director Chen Zhixiong explained that each city has its own unique character, and by expanding the show's setting from one city to the entire Greater Bay Area, they aimed to present a richer and more diverse range of participants, generating new dynamics. Additionally, by featuring guests traveling between cities, the show highlights their courage in pursuing love across distances.
Producer Yang Zhuo emphasized the show's commitment to authentically portraying contemporary love, offering audiences a more relatable and empathetic perspective. She noted that today's young people are increasingly focused on self-growth, showing more bold and individualistic traits.
"We hope that the audience sees not only romance but also a reflection of themselves within the show," said Yang.
