A First Look at Tong Yao in Footprints of Change 足迹

I haven’t had time to watch Footprints of Change yet because I’ve been quite busy, but Tong Yao’s part of the story proper started airing last night for VIP members from Episode 11 onwards. What some people may not realise is that she actually appeared way back in Episode 1, about five minutes in.

Tong Yao’s New Drama Zu Ji (足迹) Premieres September 4

The official Weibo account for 足迹 (Zu Ji) announced that the series will premiere on 4 September on iQiyi and Tencent channels. Unfortunately, there’s still no official English title.

Until then, I’ll continue referring to it as Zu Ji.

Hello fellow Tong Yao fans! The plot for Tong Yao's chapter in The Miracles (奇迹) just got thicker. New details have emerged that confirm some rumors while making the details even more mystifying.

First, let's start with what we know. The Guomao Building's official XiaoHongShu account has been a good source of information. Not only did it confirm that Tong Yao's story is set at their iconic location and that Chen Xiao (陈晓) is her co-star, but the post also tagged two more actors: Deng Jiajia (邓家佳) and Dong Yong (董勇). While their exact roles are unconfirmed, we now know more details about the cast, whereas previously all we knew was that Tong Yao would most likely be starring in this short story.
