one of my all-time fav documentaries by CCTV
from the very typical Made in China
manufacturing, construction,
plantation business
to architectural firm,
animation, tech biz
import of cultural performances
to fashion runway in NYC
(Liu Wen was in there)
Kung-fu schools, grasslands in the U.S.
Chinese homestay in India
Chinese plants in Africa
building port in Qatar
the Chinese barbers in Spanish towns
just to name a few
basically
globalization from the
Chinese point of view
the two-way traffic of
how the world is making an impact on China
and vice versa
one unexplainable features about
CCTV documentaries are
somehow it’s filled with emotions
about the people underneath the stories
no matter what the topic is about
I hate to say this
like certain moments could
even bring tears
how I came across this
it always happens
one of the nights
waking up in hotel
that is nothing but the TV
tuning from one channels to another
watching some, fell asleep
and I found this and
actually sat up to watch
in the middle
my dad woke up
watching some and he got K.O.
and I went on, until 4am I think
5 episodes, now that I checked back
that’s really a new record
for a documentary
與世界做生意 / A Biz Date with the World / ep 1/7
p.s.
that’s how an old folk spends
her Saturday night
and sometimes on Sunday afternoon too
documentaries or rather
non-entertainment shows
have been taking up
a bigger and bigger chunk of
my TV time
