Chinese television series are capturing the hearts of Vietnamese youth, sparking a cultural phenomenon that’s bridging the two neighboring nations. The allure lies in the rich historical narratives and captivating storytelling that Chinese productions offer.
During his recent state visit to Vietnam, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and president of China, penned an article titled “Building on Past Achievements and Making New Advances in Pursuit of Shared Goals“, published in Vietnam’s Nhan Dan newspaper. In the article, he highlighted the growing popularity of Chinese films, television productions, and video games among young Vietnamese, noting an increasing interest in learning Chinese.
To delve deeper into this trend, CGTN interviewed residents in Da Nang. Tung, a local enthusiast, shared, “Many Chinese films and TV series feature historical elements, and the culture depicted is highly engaging for viewers.”
The fascination with Chinese culture has led to a surge in Vietnamese youth exploring the language and traditions of their northern neighbor. The shared cultural heritage and relatable themes resonate with young audiences, fostering a deeper connection between the two countries.
