Review of china's mini C drama

Chinas mini C drama lacks creativity as its too brief to develop a plausible plot and character.The flat characters run on stereotypical plot of poor girl falling in love with secret ceo or president rich man.the girl from the village is portrayed as uneducated but with high moral values while the urban colleagues have superiority complex and looks down on village girls as lacking social etiquette,vulgar,greedy and crude. the stereotypical flaws in character makes for a cinderella plotline with fairy tale ending.the ability to bear children is touted as a virtue of the heroine. i prefer independent movies by directors who capture social realism and remain true to stagecraft instead of quick to make money short dramas.the urban residents are portrayed as shallow and scheming maniipultors while the village girl is simple and naive. its time the censorship board stop misperceptions of urban rural dichotomy.the country bumpkins lack manners and are loud and crude,likely to litter,spit everywhere,jaywalk or dont flush public toilet,smoke at non smoking zone while the city dweller is educated,sophisticated,use English or french,dress in branded clothes and dine in western cafes, this misconception ignores the reality that urban dwellers depend on food grown by rural workers and their houses are constructed by migrant labour from the villages.the city dweller. symbolise mental work of knowledge worker but the rural worker represent physical labour. the dichotomy betweeen mental and physical labour results in unequal salary and reward system. but social media is a good equaliser.through vloggers and live streaming urban dwellers get to understand how people in rural aeas live daily lives.like li zi qi and rose and anzai offer us a glimpse of rural lives.what they need is to have adult classes and access to library and reading clubs to imrove mentally.Ecotourism and homestays also sre areas to develop financial security the urban dwellers lack physical. exertion and goes to the gym to workout.they also feel lonely and lack the communal spirit of villages.perhaps social clubs and neighbourhood centres can be set up to lessen social isolation.with the advent of technology,the dichotomy between urban n rural dwellers can be over come and the dichotomy between mental and physical work be reduced. so there is a fairer distribution of skills and talent.vloggers like tina xixi show case lifestyle of urban bicultural families while rose and anzai showcase daily lives of mixed race families in rural China.both African wives are fluent mandarin speakers ,great in culinary chinese cooking and have friends of chinese background. the rise of mixed marriages is a sign of open mindedness to tolerance and diversity of multilateralism unlike the xenophobic views of neighbouring east asian nations. .
