TV tells the story of Jiading in 25 parts
Print Edition
A SERIES of documentaries about Jiading District is due to be completed by the end of next year.
Two have already been shown on television.
The series will have 25 30-minute episodes and cover the district’s scenery, its outstanding people and interesting history.
The diverse topics to be covered range from Formula One motor racing to the district’s 800-year-old Fahua Pagoda, said Zhang Yilu, its chief director.
One of the documentaries will tell the story of a newly bereaved woman who has lived in Xidajie Street all her life and refused to move away even though the street was to be renovated.
The widow is only able to find peace and a feeling of being at home on the old street, something that modern buildings are not able to offer her.
The film team found it difficult to find all the old houses and ancient buildings that they wanted so they were forced to adopt second-hand story-telling or even third-hand story-telling, passed down from generation to generation, and may have lost some accuracy in the telling.
The team invited experts to review the stories to keep the stories in line with reality.
Jiading TV Station officials hope that people will learn more about the history and culture of Jiading once the complete series is aired.
