The answer is yes. Chinese TV drama Awakening Age, which narrates the story of how the Communist Party of China (CPC) was founded in 1921, ended several months ago, but it remains a hot topic on social media, where discussion shows that it has played a positive role in educating young people about China’s revolutionary history. The TV series celebrating this year’s 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC has won high praise online. The stories of the young people in the drama — who gave everything, even their lives, to the revolution — have touched a large number of viewers. The storytelling in the show has also been hailed by viewers for successfully showing the depth of the CPC’s history and spirit, as well as the warmth of China and every family in the country. Many audiences were inspired to find background information about the series and commented that this is their first time to voluntarily learn the history about the founding of the Party and the country. “I read many of Lu Xun’s novels such as A Madman’s Diary when I was in elementary school, but I couldn’t understand why he wrote them or the angry feelings hiding in the characters. After watching the drama, I read these novels again and found that I can now understand what they wanted to convey to readers,” said Li Lin, a 29-year-old viewer. Some school teachers have been showing video clips（片段）from the series in classes to arouse students’ interest in the time period and help them learn more about history. A junior high school teacher from Taiyuan, in north China’s Shanxi Province, said that this has proven effective as some students told her after class that the show had left a strong impression on them. 1.
