During the past several years, the imitation and introduction of South Korea's reality show, which is characterized by good-looking celebrity, have taken over grand percentage time of TV screens ranging from local to central TV stations and this distorted phenomenon have raised many parents' concernings about the effects imposed by this kind of nonsense-like programmes, especially for the new growing children who will be misled by the entertainments show and lose their decent values viewing the strange world.
Cultural programmes, from recently released Declaimer to earlier aired Letter Alive, is presenting a visual and acoustic confrontation between blundering TV and peaceful literature, and their popularity, based on Chinese historical culture attraction, is somewhat milestone of New Variety Show which will apppeal to more audiences. From another view, we can feel some relief toward the transition of the society and people who possesses knowledge and literary talent are still respected by our common folks.
