Drama set for gold medal debut
A biopic TV drama on a witty ancient Chinese courtier is to hit the small screen on CCTV-8 at 8:00 pm on August 17.
The series, which will run daily, is based on Dongfang Shuo, who was an official under the Western Han (206 BC-AD24) emperor Liu Che. Dongfang was a prolific writer and had a strong sense of humor. His brash self-confidence and ready wit won him special favor with the emperor. Stories about him are well known in China.
