A reporter asked: Recently, Taiwanese people have been hotly discussing the TV series "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai. Some public opinions on the island believe that the connection between Taiwan and Shanghai is very deep, and the audience will be easily touched after watching "Flowers". We have noticed that in recent years, mainland TV dramas have been very attractive to Taiwanese people. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

Regarding this, Chen Binhua said that it is a pity that I have not watched "Flowers" because of my busy work, but many friends around me recommended it as "very good", and some experts commented that this drama is well-produced and has created the first Chinese TV drama. new heights. "Flowers" tells the story of ordinary people from all over the world gathered in Shanghai during the wave of reform and opening up in the 1990s, seizing opportunities and working hard, praising the perseverance and positive enterprising spirit. After being broadcast, it was broadcast online and in It aroused heated discussions and widespread resonance among fans of the drama. I saw rave reviews from fans of Taiwanese dramas, and some even left comments like "I want to check in at Huanghe Road" and "I want to eat Mr. Bao's rice and pork ribs rice cakes."

Chen Binhua pointed out that outstanding cultural works such as mainland film and television dramas, including "Flowers", have become very popular on the island in recent years. Not only is the work itself a good work, but also because compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same language and culture, they can easily understand and empathize with the plot. This is the power of culture. The common cultural roots and common emotional resonance of Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait cannot be reduced and have never changed even if time passes, even if we cross mountains and seas, and even if we are separated by man-made obstacles.
