This documentary series focuses on the Gynaecology and Obstertrics Department in the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. Through the lens of mothers giving birth to babies, it expresses the shock of alternating between life and death as well as the delight of celebrating the coming of a new life. No matter in cities or countryside, the Gynaecology and Obstertrics Department is always a window through which we can observe the complicated relationships between individuals, families and society behind the birth of a new life. Life is difficult and behind the birth process is the fickleness of human nature among the general public. A large number of real stories present a pathetic perspective and conveys emotional warmth through ups and downs. In a word, This is Life is the most real, vivid, sensitive epitome of contemporary social environment in China.
