Fading Memories of New Year’s Eve: Spring Festival Gala Skits
Skits are a big part of Chinese people’s collective memory of NYE. But lately their humorous quality gave way to a more political purpose.
The People column is concerned with the human and social issues that are being perceived in China, as well as the population-related topics that are currently discussed among the general public. With usage of several sources, namely interviews, conversations, and statistics or other secondary sources, People provides an opportunity to investigate basic human circumstances that shape people’s daily life, in the context of contemporary China.
