And Yet the Books is Luo's second book-themed documentary, following 2018's Being a Book Fanatic.

"That one is more about professionals in the book industry, while And Yet the Books is about people's relationship with books," she explains.

The 31-year-old leads an all-female team, all of whom are under 30, and believes that the content of the series may only scratch the surface of the subject.

"However, we hope this documentary will be a spark to light up people's interest in books," she says.

Zhu Yue, a novelist and book editor of Chinese original literature, is one of the three protagonists in the first episode about book editors and translators.

"If we can find one person to read our book among 100,000 people, we can survive. The largest encouragement for me is to find a good book," he says.

The second episode looks at how a book transfers from one person to another, which made Luo realize that making a documentary is like finding a treasured used book-it's about fate.
