himself great reputation as a culture illustrator and holds a vast
readership at home and abroad. [file photo] | The
upcoming program, "Qiuyu Moment," will feature a systematic comb through various
aspects of the profound Chinese culture as well as penetrating reflections on
certain cultural phenomena, said Liu Biao, the show's producer.
The show won't be too long, added Liu, as "Yu insists that each edition run
for just several minutes. He said it is important to offer diverse programming
to viewers, as they are prone to boredom when watching the same face for too
long."
Yu Qiuyu, 60, a Zhejiang native, attended secondary school and university in
Shanghai, hence the recurrent theme of "Shanghai people" in his writings.
His works, including Stressful Cultural Journeying (1992) and Notes Made
While Living in the Hills (1995), won him prizes and a broad readership in
Mainland China and its Taiwan Province and Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region as well as the city-state of Singapore.
