Solarin Posted July 25, 2014 at 02:57 AM Report Posted July 25, 2014 at 02:57 AM I'm looking for a TV show where Chinese people (or one person) moves to a westernized country like America and tries to adapt. Basically something like 北京人在纽约 but more modern. Also looking for novels like this as well. Would really appreciate any recommendations, thanks!! Quote
imron Posted July 25, 2014 at 08:23 AM Report Posted July 25, 2014 at 08:23 AM You could try 《别了，温哥华》. I haven't seen it, and it's no longer modern (though at 2003, it's decidedly more modern than 《北京人在纽约》), but it might be close to what you are looking for. Have a look and come back to let us know. 1 Quote
Divato Posted July 25, 2014 at 09:14 AM Report Posted July 25, 2014 at 09:14 AM You could try 屌丝留学记 Diao's overseas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn9CF1N7duE It's sitcom but I don't find it particularly funny. Maybe I don't have that sense of humor. 1 Quote
msittig Posted July 25, 2014 at 09:37 AM Report Posted July 25, 2014 at 09:37 AM It ends up being more about Shanghai than about the US, but 陈丹燕's 《慢船去中国》 involves two main characters that travel to the US and integrate with varying degrees of success/failure. 1 Quote
