The Awakening Age, a TV series telling the story of how the Party was founded in 1921 has become a hot topic and has won praise (赞扬) among lots of young people in China recently, who found the part of history encouraging.
The history of the birth and growth of the CPC (中国共产党) has drawn the interest of many young Chinese audiences. It is reported that some young audiences even look through history books while watching the shows to better understand them.
“I love the scene in which young Mao Zedong first appears in the series so much and have watched the two-minute video several times. He walks through the rain, shining like a light,” one reviewer wrote.
Director Zhang said that the biggest pressure in making The Awakening Age comes from how to make it more accepted by young audiences in China, who have set very high standards for historical movies and TV shows.
Using the New Youth magazine as background material, the series linked shining names in the history such as Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, and Hu Shi. Stories about how Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and other passionate youths (有志青年) pursued truth and explored knowledge were also included in the series. Those great men of that generation have great love for the family and the nation. These spirits, passing down from generation to generation, will continue to enlighten (启发) the young generation of today. Many audiences look forward to the sequel (续集) to the series.

Five well-known fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts (沙漠), fishing in the east sea, and selling vegetables to get money back home in the southwestern Yunnan Province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but he learns quickly and does it well now. Another one must stay with his son for three days in the desert, because he and his son don’t know how to cook, the two only eat instant (即食) noodles.
This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society(社会) —what is the role（角色）of fathers in today’s China? In the old days, children must obey parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But Chinese parents now think that discussing and respecting (尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. “As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping.
