In the 1990s, China's economic reform campaign reached a new high.
Amid the eager adoption of capitalism, however, the spectre of
revolution re-emerged. Red Classics, a historic-revolutionary
themed genre created in the high Socialist era were widely taken up
again in television drama adaptations. They have since remained a
permanent feature of TV repertoire well into the 2010s. Remaking
Red Classics looks at the how the revolutionary experience is
represented and consumed in the reform era. It examines the
adaptation of Red Classics as a result of the dynamic interplay
between television stations, media censorship and social sentiment
of the populace. How the story of revolution was reinvented to
appeal and entertain a new generation provides important clues to
the understanding of transformation of class, gender and locality
in contemporary China.
