Pingfan Wangshi Collection - Volume I is author’s second book followed by his first popular novel named Cost of Love. A number of outstanding works are selected into this book from his last six years’ works. The first section of this collection includes 4 novella, 3 short stories, and 13 micro-fictions. Three fictions, Wake up Desire, I Want to Divorce, and Shackles of Human Being, are considered to be the most influential pieces in all. Again, the author uses his powerful pen to depict struggling and pain that ordinary people face in their trapped marriages and relationships. The most fun and impressive part is in the second section of this collection. More than 60 brilliant prose and essays are gathered, and are further categorized into 5 parts according to its contents. Starting with Part 1 - Childhood Expectation, the author reveals his childhood hardship during the China culture revolution. A serial of unexpected changes in his family caused by a political reason has contributed to his independent and strong personality at a very young age. As a result of this change, it made a great impact on his later on in life. In Part 2 - American Dream, the author shares his experience, as a father and the 1stgeneration immigrant, on how to handle a teenage son in United State. He makes a good point and comparison between two different cultures and education systems. Whereas, in Part 3 - The Trip to Home and Part 4 - Eat Drink Men and Women, he expresses his deep love and passion to his country, and manifests a multiple unique points of view on the relationship between men and women. The book is finally ended at the most interesting Part 5 - Monologue or also called Self Portrait. Here, the author often uses I to narrate things and people he has encountered from his childhood, youth, and up to the middle age of his most recent years. Overall, the second section summarizes his life time experience, which also reflects the real life of the generation who has gone through the same period of ups and downs, such as China culture revolution, reform and open door policies, and immigration waves to foreign countries. His work is not just limited to novel, prose and essay. He is also identified as a very fine poet. About 108 his poems are featured in the third section. The first half portion of poems is present in modern poetry style. The second half portion of poems is written in Chinese ancient poetry style. A number of love poems are incorporated with prose elements, which he wrote for the characters in his fictions. The others are mostly dedicated to his country and friends as a way to express his personal feelings. His poems in styles and subjects demonstrate his diversified writing skill and solid literal foundation. Author’s pen is known for catching the most tender and sensitive part of reader’s heart, and driving reader’s emotion. His work is widely accepted by Overseas Chinese.

Chinese Television and National Identity Construction by Lauren Gorfinkel Pdf
This book examines music entertainment programmes on China Central Television, China’s only national level television network, as well as on nationally-available provincial channels, exploring how such programmes project a nuanced image of China’s identity and position in the world. It shows how the images presented - primarily to domestic audiences - are in step with China’s party-state nationalism, and at the same time flexible and open to change as China’s circumstances change. The book contextualises identity construction in the media by examining the development of television in China and the political struggles between provincial and national television stations, as well as by foregrounding the historical and contemporary role of musical culture in China's nation-building project. It discusses the portrayal of the majority Han Chinese, and of ethnic minorities and their music, which, the author argues, are shown as fitting with the party-state rhetoric of “a unitary multi-ethnic state”. It also outlines how the Chinese of Greater China – Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao and the overseas Chinese – are incorporated into a mainland centred Chinese identity. In addition, it shows how the performances of foreign personalities on the Chinese television stage emphasise foreigners' attraction to China, the uniqueness of the Chinese nation and Chinese civilisation, and the revitalised role of China in the world. Overall, the book demonstrates how the variations of Chinese identity fit with prevailing political ideologies in China and with the emerging theme of a China-centred world.
