From old times, India has been a good friend of China. The two big Asian countries now work more closely on border problems, trade (贸易) and IT.

   India is an interesting and mysterious( 神秘的)country with a long history. Around 2,000 BC, Indian civilization (文明) was born. It is one of the four oldest civilizations in the world. India is also the birthplace of  Buddhism (佛教). A famous  Chinese novel, "A Journey to the West", is about a Chinese monk (和尚) who tried very hard to learn about Buddhism from India.

   The book comes from a true story. Xuanzang, a Buddhist monk was sent to India by the King of the Tang Dynasty. After many years, he brought back lots of Buddhist books. The name "India" was first used by Xuanzang in his work.

   Today, religion(宗教) is still an important part of Indian culture. There are many religions there. Most Indian people believe in Hinduism (印度教). In India, cows are very special animals because  Hinduism  says they are holy (神圣的). So Indians don't sell or eat beef. Like China,

India is a developing  country with a large population(人口). It has  about 1.03 billion people compared to China's 1.3  billion.  More than two thirds of  Indians still live a poor life in the countryside.

   India has no birth control so its population is growing fast. By 2030, India could even have more people than China.

   Hindi (印地语) is the mother tongue of Indian people. But Britain took India in 1757 and stayed there until 1947. Because of this, English slowly became the other official  language.

1.Why don't Indians sell or eat beef?

   C. Because they see cows as holy animals.

A Report from People’s Daily

"Chinese style of crossing the road" is a ridicule(调侃)used by the net friend. It describes a way of some Chinese walking across the road, namely "enough of a person can go（凑够一撮人就走）, not red light”. Just look at other people and do not see the light. It is generally believed that as long as we cross the road together, no car dares to hit us. Here is one of the excuses given by a pedestrian (行人).

Reporter：You know, you can’t run a red light, can you?

Pedestrian：No, I can’t.

Reporter：But why did you do that just now?

Pedestrian：I am in a hurry. I’ll be late for work.

… …

Everyone knows rules are made for people to follow, not to break.

Chinese TV shows that describe young people's lives in modern society are crossing the cultural divide and attracting a lot of foreign audiences.

One of the examples is the Chinese TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law Era", a light comedy about a modern Chinese couple.

The TV series was first aired in Shanghai in November 2009. It was dubbed in Swahili and broadcast in east African countries in 2011. Two Kenyan（肯尼亚人） actresses were chosen to do voice dubbing for the two leading roles in the African version of the series. It was a great success in Africa.

Tanzanians（坦桑尼亚人） say that they are able to understand how young Chinese people live happily in modern times and they may be able to find ways to solve their personal problems by watching the series.

Although China is one of the world's most prolific（多产的） producers of TV series, its series are not particularly popular overseas. The popularity of "A Beautiful Daughter-In-Law Era" may serve as an example for Chinese TV producers who want to bring their work to other countries.

In recent years, some TV series that show the lives of people in Chinese cities have achieved some success in the foreign market.

"Go Lala Go!," a TV series that details the adventures of a female office worker named Du Lala, has also started to reach global audiences. The series has been exported to Singapore, Malaysia, the United States and Canada.

"The Chinese dream will be more easily accepted by foreign audiences when it is manifested in small and touching stories," said Meng Jian, a professor at Fudan University.
