Old TV dramas

Youku is a very cool website where you can’t miss almost what you want, and don’t have to wait longer than that on Tudou or some other video websites before it works smoothly. So it’s not exaggerated to call it YouTube in China. I had a great time reviewing and reminiscing to the happy old days.

I gotta be out of mind spending hours looking for the old operas shot in the early 1990s that was once on Pearl-river channel, as well as their theme songs. All my memory about TV amusement was cartoon at the dusk and soap opera in the evening because TV programs were not available before sunset.

Cantonese tend to watch TV shows in Cantonese, produced in GD or HK, and the corny dramas once on “soap opera” from 9 pm to 10 pm was the highlight of the day, most of them featuring Martial Art, sometimes love stories showing us a spectacular HK. On the list were 天蚕变，鹿鼎记，情满珠江（canton-produced）…. The others from Taiwan were 包青天，新白娘子传奇（legend of the white snake, and a lot more beyond I can list.

Do those names ring a bell to you?
