Since the fourth quarter of last year, iQIYI has launched a series of hit titles, which also make up part of the list.

Of the new titles made available as part of the CNY list, many of them are either iQIYI original productions or titles that stream exclusively on iQIYI platforms. Debuting on Jan. 28, A Lifelong Journey is a realistic drama series that depicts the half-century epic journey of Chinese people pursuing happiness through hard work. Gold Panning, the ninth instalment of the company's Light On series, also debuted in January and tells the little-known story of gold panners who travel to remote mountains for their pursuit of gold.
