A dashing detective bursts into a secret villa and uncovers huge stacks of cash stuffed in fridges, closets and beds. Meanwhile, the villa'
s owner - a government official - crawls on the floor and begs for his life. This is the dramatic opening scene in China’s latest hit TV show, In the Name of the People, which made its high-profile debut(首次亮相) last month.The series, about China’s anti-corruption campaign, has gained millions of viewers across the country. Some have compared it to the American political drama House of Cards, which has a huge Chinese following.
In The Name of the People describes the internal power struggle of the Chinese Communist Party in the fictional city of Jingzhou, featuring stories about Chinese politics that are often talked about but never seen on mainstream television. In the show, local government leaders try to destroy a top justice’s arrest order; laid-off workers hold violent protests against a corrupt deal between the government and a corporation;.
Viewers are crazy about this TV series. “This TV drama feels so real. It really cheers people up,” one viewer wrote on social media network Micro blog. “I shed tears after watching this drama. This is the tumor of corruption that has been harming the people," said another commenter.
More than a decade ago, anti-corruption dramas suddenly disappeared from Chinese television. Authorities in 2004 had decided to restrict the production of such dramas as too many were of poor quality. But when Chinese President Xi Jinping took power in 2012 and launched a sweeping campaign against corruption, anti-corruption got back. In The Name of The People is thus the latest promotion aimed at portraying the government’s victory i
n its anti-corruption campaign.The show’s screenwriter, Zhou Meisen, is a seasoned writer of anti-corruption fiction. He declined to speak to the BBC, saying he “received instruction not to speak to any foreign media”. But in interviews with Chinese media, he expressed surprise that officials approved all 55 episodes of his show. “For a long time, many people thought that if we kept our eyes closed, there wouldn’t be any corruption,” Mr. Zhou said. He aimed to show that corrupt officials were not all “monsters” and were real people - but at the end of the day, the good people always win.
