A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshipping Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho as demigods (被神化的人物).Chinese denizens always have different opinions over Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that pro?grammes from the neighbouring country are now enjo?ying a new round of popularity in China. And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came from the Star ， the Korean TV series.
You Who Came from the Star and The Heirs (《继承者们》)have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero in You Who Came from the Star was a hard-to-get item on Am?azon for a while.
The two TV programmes have several common ele?ments M) ： a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programmes describe the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Per?haps that's the secret of their success; perhaps people still like Cinderella-type stories.
The widening wealth gap is a matter of social con?cern both inKoreaandChina, and the challenges that young people face in their hope for a better life might have caused many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular Ko?rean TV dramas describe. In fact > Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market's demands.
Many denizens even said at an earlier time that Ko?rean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (模式化的)themes： traffic accidents, canc?er and other incurable diseases. But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came from the Star and The Heirs ， which Chinese directors can use as exam?ples, as well as inspiration, to improve their produc?tions,

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 per cent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.
It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it tookFrance115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 per cent to 14 per cent. It is esti?mated to takeChinaa mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.
What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for gov?ernments is that the longer people live, the more likeli?hood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possi?ble, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.
Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.
Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programmes need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.
Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.
To achieve equality in such matters will take con?siderable time and effort. One thing is sure: there is no time to be lost.

A.Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

C Supplying life-long learning programmes to older people.
D.Providing free health care for sick older people.

A.governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem
