5. Han Jiangxue – Grassroot scholar providing lectures that imitate CCTV 10’s Lecture Room
A self-described ‘youthful scholar’ uploaded a video clip presenting his lectures on history in a bid to challenge CCTV 10’s Lecture Room, which is a popular TV program with scholars lecturing on various subjects. Han’s version was embraced in cyberspace because it was a crude but sincere effort at mastering the televised teaching model. Han had been turned away twice by Lecture Room for his grassroot effort because the show invites only established scholars.
