NO MORE PALACE DRAMAS

In the latest news, China decides to ban/censor future production of chinese drama that ACCURATELY portrays palace life (also censoring kids from TV advertisement for profit). The move might have come because of the recent popularity of the Chinese Drama “The Story of Yanxi Palace” in which the main female protagnonist is very PLOTTING AND SCHEMING on her way to the top and to get revenge. China says this is TOTALLY NOT TRUE OF ANY DYNASTY PALACE LIFE, and that these dramas hold no educational value because it doesn’t portray HARD WORK and frugality as the main ingredient to success and not schemes (uh huh…..). I lowkey bet if the story of Yanxi palace took place in the Yuan Dynasty, china would have no problem of those BARBARIANS scheming to get to the top and not getting to the top by hard work! It remains to be seen how hard this ban/censor will be enforce or how much it will impact the entertainment industry…
