IN VIDEO: What stays when the postcard fades?

We plan trips around monuments, museums, and must-see sights, and they're incredible for a reason. But years later, what actually sticks? A new report on young Chinese travelers suggests that human connections matter more than a museum ticket. They're choosing destinations not just by what's on the postcard, but by how welcome they feel. / What if your TV could follow you from room to room? That's the reality taking shape in China right now, thanks to something called the "bestie screen." This isn't sci-fi. It's the next chapter in how we consume content. / Heart to Heart. On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun.
