Tips

culture
Mango TV's 2020 smash: 30 female celebrities aged 30+ compete to form a 7-member girl group, explicitly inverting the idol-industry premise that young = valuable. Season 1 cast included 宁静, 伊能静, 张雨绮, 万茜, 黄圣依. Spawned the male counterpart 《披荆斩棘的哥哥》 the following year.
culture
Title comes from the chengyu 乘风破浪 — from 《宋书·宗悫传》, where young general 宗悫 says 愿乘长风破万里浪 ('I wish to ride the long wind and break the ten-thousand-li waves'), expressing youthful ambition. Applied here to women refusing to fade out at 30.
