Abstract:

"To understand the complex issues in China, you must examine each intricately balanced piece of Chinese society. This highly acclaimed series does just that, offering a fascinating look into the lives of typical Chinese people. The result is a rich understanding and empathy with the peopl that make up nearly one-quarter of the world population. Peter Montagnon and a team of leading filmmakers were given unprecedented access to the lifestyles of the Chinese people. Each program focuses on an activity that is found in all societies. The Times of London said 'It presents the most detailed and fascinating picture of Chinese society ever seen, in images that hold the attention instantly--an old woman making an omelette, a crowd of young students sneering uneasily at superstitious peasants. Winner of the International Emmy Award." Twelve titles are REMEMBERING, CARING, EATING, BELIEVING, CORRECTING, WORKING, LIVING, MARRYING, UNDERSTANDING, MEDIATING, CREATING, and TRADING. CREATING "Contemporary artists use unconventional materials but traditional values."
