Romance in Post-Socialist Chinese Television, 1st ed. 2020 East Asian Popular Culture Series
Auteur : Wen Huike
The book focuses on how romantic love, which plays a vital role in China?s ideologically highly restricted social environment by empowering people with individual choice, change, and social mobility, must struggle and compromise with the reality, specifically the values and problems emerging in a transitional China. The book also examines how the representation of romantic love celebrates ideals?individual freedom, passion, and gender equality?and promises changes based on individual diligence and talent while simultaneously obstructing the fulfillment of these ideals.
