A TV series featuring more than 200 actors and actresses to portray individuals who uphold the spirit of the Communist Party of China over the past century began airing on Hunan Satellite TV on May 4.

The work, titled Faith Makes Great, was produced to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of CPC this year. Actors Wang Kai, Jing Boran and Deng Lun, pop idols Wang Yibo and Wang Junkai and actress Zhao Liying have participated in the 40-episode TV series.

Faith Makes Great features unsung but inspiring stories of people who have contributed to the founding or development of CPC. The first episode centers around the life of Chen Wangdao, a young translator who translated the Communist Manifesto into Chinese which in turn paved the way for the birth of the CPC.
