Kong, Shuyu, 'Family Matters: Reconstructing the Family on the Chinese Television Screen', in Ying Zhu, Michael Keane, and Ruoyun Bai (eds), TV Drama in China (Hong Kong , 2008; online edn, Hong Kong Scholarship Online, 14 Sept. 2011), https://doi.org/10.5790/hongkong/9789622099401.003.0006, accessed 18 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter examines prime-time series that deal with love and marriage in the contemporary urban middle-class family. It discusses how this new discourse is implicated with gender issues, class concerns, and state ideology. The chapter also argues that Chinese family drama has opened up a cultural forum for various social groups and ideological agents to make sense of dramatic social changes and to address the everyday emotional concerns of Chinese viewers.
Keywords:
