Watch series "Chinese School -- Young Pioneers" on BBC iPlayer

A very touchable and moved TV documentary was displayed on BBC iPlayer. The story describes 5 young Chinese's different life, all of them are living in rural China.

A convinent tool to what TV programme via PC

BBC iPlayer is a very convinent tool to watch TV Online, audience could download the TV programme.

He/she can start to watch it within 30 days, and finish to watch it within 7 days, afterwards the programme will be deleted automatically.

The newly developed technology is pretty useful for young people, like us who don't own TV, and the programmes are free for UK licence fee payers.

Back to the Chinese series

Watching carefully about the TV series,it reflects China's one child policy; the most pressureful and serious "gaokao" exam; children's "young pioneers" dream.

China's domestic immigrants phenomenon; Chinese youngsters' english learning and open to see the world.

The way BBC combining the story are excellent, I enjoy watch from the very beginning, though some of the details I feel funny, still an pretty interesting story.

Just few doubt

How BBC choose the main character? for instance, the girl who come first during the gaokao examination, the young boy who got hurt for his arms?

Because when BBC start to shoot the story, it's one week before the girl's gaokao examination, and before the boy got hurt with his arm.

Imagine if both of them nothing happen at the end? Does the story still attractive enough?
