The Great Northern Wilderness is a love triangle involving a young woman (Liang Linlin, pictured left), a soldier (Wang Yu, pictured) and a war veteran (Zhu Yawen). |
The Korean War became the backdrop for the most-watched American TV show in history. When the final episode of M.A.S.H aired in 1983, after a record-breaking 11 seasons, it attracted more than 105 million US viewers, and millions more around the world. The comedy/drama helped shape Western views of the Korean War, but the Chinese perception of this three-year conflict is very different.
