Narrow Dwellings: a TV series that slipped through SARFT’s guidelines
The series has drawn a lot of criticism as well as recommendation. The former for its poor script and one dimensional characters, and the latter for its social commentary, which focuses on people of different social statuses, nailhouses, corrupt officials and mistresses, all wrapped up in the setting of a consumerist metropolis. There are edited versions of Narrow Dwellings on Youku and broadcast on TV, and lines that have been deleted for its “bone-baring” (露骨) directness.

Spring Festival crosstalk and the reform era
Crosstalk and comic sketches at the Spring Festival Gala are pretty lack-luster. Pan Caifu explains that it’s because they’re expected to be uplifting, not satiric.
