Chinanews, Beijing, July 22 – “Due to my chromosome1 defects, I decided2 to choose a kind of marriage life without sex…” Mr. Wang, an interviewee who was talking in "Who Is Speaking", a program made by Beijing Television Station, was telling the public his trouble in front of the screen with a mask on his face. His words expressed his determined3 mind.

 

Recently, a lot of TV stations across China, including CCTV, Beijing Television Station, and TV stations in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chongqing, have launched a kind of talk show program that encourages people to speak out things that trouble their mind. In many of these programs, the host will let a person to tell the public about his or her problems and invite a psychological doctor to analyse and solve their problems.

 

Many of the topics covered in these programs are things related with extramarital affairs, the troublesome relationship between a man's wife and his mother, problems that people meet in educating their children, etc. Many people are willing to expose their embarrassing private matters in front of the public. However, years ago, people rarely talked about these matters in front of the screen.

 

Such programs make a high audience rating.

 

Yang Lin, a regional director from Fauchon, a French food company’s branch office in China, is a loyal audience to CCTV's talk show program "Xinli Fangtan" (psychological talk show). Whenever she is free, she will turn on the TV and watch the program.

 

“It satisfies my curiosity. Sometimes I see that other people have the same experiences as I do,” she said.

 

Old people, who used to be conservative about their private matters, are also willing to tell the public something about themselves.

 

Zhou Qiangling, 52, is a retired4 worker in Wuhan. She once took 6 plastic surgeries in 70 days. Recently, she began to show in many psychological talk show programs made by local TV stations, telling the public about her experiences. In the program, the lady revealed her hopes in front of the screen: she wanted to find an ideal husband, open a small restaurant and participate in a lot of social activities.

 

Some people thought the woman was ridiculous while others supported her. When she exposed her good figure in front of the screen, many people started to find it not too unacceptable.
