What are good Chinese TV programmes?

Hello everyone,

 

What are good Chinese TV programmes I can watch to help me with my Mandarin? When I say good I mean programmes that are not cheesey love stories. I want to watch something that is actually good so that it engages me and I am motivated to watch it. I beleive I will be able to learn more if I can find an actual interesting programme to watch. 

 

I think people that are learning English are lucky because there are so many good American TV shows people can watch and also English ones too. However, Chinese programmes tend to be all the same; boring, corny love stories that I struggle to watch haha..

 

大家好,

我想要进步我的听力水平,还有学了新的箪食。当一个人学习外语的时候,他们总是看着节目。当我在中国的时候,有时候我认识一个中国人有很好的英文。我问他们,你在什么国家学习英文,有时候他们回答我没有去外国的国家,只有看美国的节目和英国的节目学习英文。我觉得美国有很多很好看的节目,英国也有。这是为什么我感觉英文学习的人很幸运。

 

无论如何我想要做一样的东西,总是看中国的还有台湾的节目,所以我可以联系我的听力。但是,每个节目我看过,我不喜欢。这些节目太女孩子的合适。总是有爱人的故事。我不想爱人的故事,我的意见是这是假的东西。我更喜欢真的东西。 

 

请你帮我进步我的中文,给我有意思的节目我可以看。

 

Please help me correct my Chinese in this post, and give me some exciting and interesting programmes to watch :) Thank you!

If you're interested in the sino-japanese war (抗日), then I would recommend 生死血符. It's a story about an American pilot who was shot down and parachute-lands in a Chinese village. During that time the Chinese government ordered citizens to safely escort all American pilots to Military strongholds and protect them from the Japanese.  Needless to say, there is a lot of action, and the main characters come across so many problems on their way to the destination. Sometimes this show has a sense of humor, but sometimes it is very sad. Some of the sidelines in the story are about love, but they are in no way cheesy. I would definitely recommend this show because it has an American in it who isn't too versed in the Chinese language, and his interactions with the other characters are interesting. Along with this, you can learn a little bit about 抗日, and some of the atrocities that the Japanese committed against the Chinese. This show is great, you can trust me. I spent around 7 hours one day just watching it. Haha

Daniel 你好!
我推荐你看一个节目,我觉得非常有意思,名字是《奇葩说qípāshuō》,很多中国人都在看。这不是一个电视剧,是一个娱乐的辩论节目。你会看多年轻人关于现实问题的独特看法。
如果你想看真实的故事,我建议你看《裸婚时代》《奋斗》或者《蜗居》。如果还不是你想要的,再告诉我。
I recommand a programme for you, which I think is very interesting. The English name is U can U BIBI. Many Chinese people are following this.It is not any kind of story, but an entertaining debate programme, where you can see young people's unique idea about some realistic questions.
If you want to watch real stories, I suggest Naked Wedding, Struggle, Dwelling Narrowness to you. If these are not what you want, just tell me.

最好的办法就是你每天生活在中国的街头小巷,市井城区。中国的节目大多数都是各种电视肥皂剧,什么抗日据,都是扯蛋的。“世界青年说”是不错,但是太短了,古装剧虽然与历史有关,可是背景资料你要自己查,虚假成分也不少。
