1. 《情人结》 "A Time to Love" (qing2ren2 jie2)
A love story set in Beijing between two people who are forced to wait a very long time before they can ultimately be together. This movie gives the viewer
a good understanding of the matrimonial pressure an Asian family can put on it's children.

2. 《开往春天的地铁》 "The Subway Towards Spring" (kai1wang3 chun1tian1 de di4tie3)
A mix of several young couples' love stories set in Beijing, slightly off-beat/alternative.

3. 《箱子》 "The Suitcase" (xiang1zi3)
A man finds a suitcase that one day mysteriously showed up at the guesthouse he manages. The scenery in this movie is beautiful and is set in Li Jiang, Yunnan
Province 云南丽江.

4. 《花样年华》 "In the Mood for Love" (hua1yang4 nian2hua2)
A French-style filmed romance set in 1960's Hong Kong. This movie, full of subtleties and overtones, is a classic and highly recommended.

5. 《非诚勿扰》 "If You Are The One" (fei1cheng2 wu4rao3)
A modern-day story about a man who places a personal ad in the newspaper for a wife and the story that ensues. This movie gives the viewer a good understanding of
how Chinese men and women relate to one another.

8. 《拳王》 "The King of Boxing" (quan2 wang2)

II. Television Programs 电视剧:
These television
programs are all available on DVD and can purchased at just about any video store in China.
1. 《奋斗》 "The Struggle" (fen4dou4)
Set in modern-day Beijing, this is a series about young people in Beijing struggling for success and love.

2. 《金婚》 "The Golden Wedding" (jin1hun1)
A series that spans 50-years and tells the story of a man and woman, from the time they were married in 1956 up until they're 50th anniversary in
2005. The sets in this series are all authentic and gives the viewer an excellent impression of China before today's modernization took place. I recommend this series because it gives
the viewer a good understanding of everyday life in a typical Chinese family.

3. 《新上海滩》 "Shang Hai Bund" (xin1 shang4hai3 tan1)
A series about the Chinese mafia and it's internal power struggles set in 1930's Shang Hai. A love-story involves the mafia boss's daughter and two men, both
of whom love her, yet she loves just one. There are many versions of this series available, but the one that I like most has the actor 黄晓明 huang2xiao3ming2 playing
the lead role of许文强 xu3wen2qiang2.

4. 《丑女无敌》 "Ugly Betty" (chou3nv3 wu2di2)
A comedy series based on the US television series "Ugly Betty" about a young girl working as a secretary in a large corporation. The humor in this series is
hilarious and gives the viewer a good understanding of what makes Chinese people laugh.

III. Radio Programs 收音机节目:
1. 《背包心情》 (bei4bao1 xin1qing2) - Kunming FM 99.0, The Sound of Shang-ra-la
Nightly from 10pm -11pm (though sometimes the start-time may vary), hosted by 和雨He2 Yu3. An excellent radio program that
accurately represents how Chinese people express ideas, thoughts and emotion. People call-in and discuss with He Yu just about anything and everything that may be on their
minds at the time. If you really want to get a good understanding of how Chinese people use their own language to express thoughts and emotion, I highly recommend this or any radio program
similar to this one. If you would like to receive past recordings of this program, please contact me and I can send you MP3 files of
the programs.
IV. Educational DVD 讲坛类DVD:
1. 《易中天品三国》 (yi4zhong1tian1 pin3san1guo2)
A DVD lecture series given by the acclaimed professor 易中天 yi4zhong1tian1 that explores in great detail ancient Chinese history. This man
lectures in a way that is understandable, humorous and at times controversial.

V. Chinese Books 中文书:
These are some of the books I have
purchased over the years or friends have recommended that I have found to be quite interesting to read.
1. 《有爱才有幸福》 "When There is Love There is Happiness"
2. 《长得很漂亮不如活得漂亮》 "Being Beautiful is not as Important as Living Beautifully"
