More than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today. Phone calls and messages help us easily keep in touch with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive is bringing back this old habit.
Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to microphone and read the letter.
The letters were written by people from different times in history. Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show, said, “Every letter opens another world for us. It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.”
Since its first episode（集）on December 5th, Letters alive has been widely praised. Many audiences-- the people who watched the TV show, said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today’s TV shows.
Besides Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences. They include Chinese Poetry Conference, a classical Chinese poetry competition, and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.
“This means that our audiences are not only looking for entertainment like gossip（八卦）and eye-catching games, ” reported China Youth Daily. “Cultural values and true feeling are the keys to winning praise.”
