When I go-go heard well-nigh Chinese Drama called Ebola fighters, I wondered whether it was related to Africa or not. I wanted to scout it since Africa had the Ebola virus inward more or less countries also I know well-nigh of my followers are inwards Africa therefore I desire to hash out this drama with everyone. Good or bad, this drama volition change the perception of people around the Earth on Africa and then it'second important that I consequence this review in addition to office my thoughts.
Synopsis.
Tells the grade of Zheng Shu Peng, a virologist, inward improver to the Chinese medical squad that involves their contend against the Ebola virus inward 2014. They use their humanitarian spirit to contend the virus inward addition to lastly successfully contain the spread of the virus to save a big upshot of lives.
First Impressions.
I paid a lot of attention on the first 2 episodes every bit if I was a detective. The offset episode had a perfect offset past showing the friendship between Africans as well every bit Chinese, totally loved how they interacted amongst each other. I actually tin can tin't explain that I had when I noticed huge issue of Black actors, it'sec and then rare to observe that inward a Chinese Drama. So far, the become-become ii episodes clearly showed that at that home are more than than challenges on the way but allow'second review the whole drama.
The Good.
Better representation of Africa.
I accept watched films that gave Africa a bad icon also this drama is better than most. The drama likewise had approximately scenes where they would do cleansing ceremonies, dances... they're function of our civilization every flake Africans fifty-fifty though we have unlike cultures. I likewise noticed just about African music existence played oftentimes, which is really exciting specially when yous realize that you lot lot're watching a Chinese Drama. Most of the time, it felt similar I was watching an African celluloid.
Story.
This drama is based on a true level inward improver to from my side, I loved how they turned that floor into a picture palace.
The Bad.
Plots got buried.
The drama was running polish with it's plots and storyline until Dr Zheng left the village. I admit that Dr Zheng is the primary graphic symbol merely that doesn't hateful they should drib other plots simply to get him on encompass all the fourth dimension. They had a dandy grade with Mosses, Tabanashi together amongst the Diamonds but they buried the plot together amongst only gave us 10 moment action betwixt them, you solely see Mosses shooting somebody too you lot don't even know how did he find him... as well as and then nosotros become dorsum to the drama at the hospital between the doctors.
Conclusion.
Propaganda or non?
One tin tin enjoin Red mainland China is using this drama to make upwards their motion-picture show past helping the "struggling inward addition to sickly" Africa. They take been promoting People's Republic of China since the start episode, the medical team wears wearing apparel amid Chinese flags all the quaternary dimension. We know that it'second a Chinese drama but they must besides think that the floor revolves around Ebola together alongside Africa. It's unnecessary to set flag stickers on your uniform since it'second a mainland Communist China too as Cabalia hospital, it clearly shows that Communist China wants to go all the merits lonely. You tin club from the second their medical squad started demanding to use their "Chinese" kits instead of using kits from South Africa, heed yous lot that those kits make the same results only they kept changing the laws of Cabalia inward improver to did everything their "Chinese" means... Everything they did was "Chinese" related. The way they used Ebola besides Africa to promote mainland mainland China is similar allowing Coca Cola to advertise in 1 of your videos for thirty seconds simply they finish up taking ane minute... it'sec also much in addition to annoying. Every scene had a Chinese flag also as I wondered, 'why isn't Cabalia's flag inward every scene similar the Chinese flag? Yes, Cabalia is an imaginary land but it'sec regarded every scrap an African country in the drama and so they should've promoted it simply similar they did with People's Republic of China. In short, People's Republic of China is telling it'second people " Hey, nosotros went to Africa likewise equally this is how Africa is... this is how we helped Africa..."
One could besides order it's not propaganda because United States of America always does the same matter. You tin as well enjoin that they just followed the floor of Dr Zheng who was inward Africa during the Ebola outbreak in 2014 since the drama itself is based on a truthful floor. You can tin can likewise order West Africa is indeed struggling because of bandits too wars. You tin besides order that People'second Republic of China'sec intentions amongst this drama was to present the Chinese people that people of all races tin can can coexist, they tin can can get through life together with expiry together. You can tin order mainland PRC wanted to role the legacy of Dr Zheng amongst others and so that his storey tin can tin inspire them. You tin can tin can enjoin the picture of Africa wasn't hurt by this drama. The product team spent more than than iv months inward South Communist Cathay's Hainan Province building sets replicating the natural in addition to residential environments inward West African countries, they did their inquiry earlier jumping to conclusions, everything that'sec being portrayed is truthful.
Propaganda or non, the drama had positive reviews too as it besides had negative reviews peculiarly with how Africa was portrayed inward the drama. My idea inward improver to your views volition always live unlike, I exactly desire to portion my thought good-nigh the drama besides here'second the truth:
PRC played a meaning part inward the international efforts to stop the spread of the Ebola disease. Through four rounds of emergency assistance supplied in Apr, August, September also every bit Oct 2014, a full of 750 million yuan (good-most USD 123 million) was contributed to West African countries by PRC. In improver to financial inward addition to fabric help, Red China as well sent more than than i,000 medical personnel to the region to help amid local epidemic prevention in improver to command go (NHFPC 2015a; UNDP 2014a). This was unprecedented inward the history of Chinese strange help. In fact, Communist China has frequently been considered as lacking a philanthropic culture, also its international aid as well every bit financing models are often criticized every chip resources-backed in addition to tied to help inwards a means that exclusively serves the concern business organization interests of the land.
