        I learned what life looks like in New York City by watching the TV show Friends and understood British cultural traditions by enjoying Shakespeare's plays. And, of course, hundreds of Hollywood movies have shown me what a hero is supposed to be and defined "the American dream". These are some of the strongest ties that connect observers like me to the United States and Western culture.

        As a Chinese correspondent based in Africa, I have been thinking about how to depict China, such a fast-changing country, to my African readers. Writing a feature or describing the scenery may begin to paint a picture, but far more is necessary to give readers a clear understanding of the lives of real people.

        Trade and economic ties between China and Africa are making great strides, but sometimes misunderstandings between the two distinct cultures hamper relations. In a move similar to what Hollywood has done for the US, China hopes its films and TV shows can bridge those cultural gaps and further develop collaboration with Africa.

        Two hit Chinese TV shows dubbed into Swahili, the national language of Tanzania, are due to be aired during primetime in the country this month. Father's Wishes and Mother's Glorious Days are stories about the everyday lives of ordinary people who have experienced the great changes in China over the past few decades.

        This is the second time that China has introduced its TV shows to Africa. The first was in 2011, when the soap opera Mao Doudou and Her Sweet Days made a successful debut in various Swahili-speaking countries in eastern Africa.

        Rather than calling this the spread of "soft power", the term coined by Harvard professor Joseph Nye, China is more likely to see the broadcasting of its TV shows in Africa as a way for African audiences to learn more about contemporary China and how it is changing.
