New series puts focus on war correspondents

While most of China's revolutionary period TV productions prefer to feature political leaders or historical battles, a new series, The Waves, focuses on war correspondents.

Two episodes of the 44-episode drama are being screened every night as the country marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Set in the turbulent 1935-1945 period, the series, which premiered on Oct 16 on Beijing Satellite TV, chronicles the lives and careers of four patriotic college students, who become war correspondents to fight the Japanese invaders using pens and cameras.
