UP Profile---
Chinese learn U.S. broadcast industry
By DANA MURRAY
UP staff writer
The communication department
has two special guests.
Officially recognized as “guest
scholars,” Da Lian Liao (David
Liao) and Xiong Fei Ye (Jack Lee)
arrived October 11 for an eight-week
visit. The two adopted the English
translation of their names for
simplicity.
They are from the Shanghai
Television Center in China and the
visit is a continuation of an exchange
program which began in 1982. That
summer, a delegation of broad-
casters from Shanghai and Beijing
visited Lamar at the invitation of the
communication department.
Liao and Lee are attending depart-
mental classes as listeners and lec-
turers.
They have toured the area’s televi-
sion stations, including Telecon Pro-
duction studio, Liberty Cable TV,
and radio stations KVLU and KWIC.
They have also gone to Houston and
visited Channel 8, a Public Broad-
casting Station television studio and
Channel 2, the largest television sta-
tion in Houston.
Their interest in the United States
is in comparing the two countries’
broadcast industry.
Both men were graduated from
colleges in China. Liao, 35, is mar-
ried and has a daughter. He is a
television production manager for
the Shanghai Television Center. Lee,
Da Lian Liago, left, and Xiong Fel Ye
26, is single. He is an ENG engineer.
He maintains and operates elec-
tronic newsgathering equipment for
the center.
The center operates three chan-
nels and employs 1,200 people. Its
broadcast range is 20 million
viewers, although all of those 20
million do not have television sets.
Lee said the big difference is that
U.S. stations produce their own news
programs, sports, some commer-
cials and public service programs
and the Chinese stations produce

almost 100 percent of its programs
for all three channels. He said the
center has its own orchestra for
television movies and plays.
Liao pointed out that they produce
“some” commercials, but the center
is funded by the government. He
said their commercials are not pro-
duced to obtain operating funds
from sponsors.
Lee said their production depart-
ment has a section called “Program
Translation,” which edits foreign
films and substitutes a Chinese
language script. Last year they
translated 60 foreign films.
Liao said his personal American
favorites were “Coal Miner’s )
Daughter,” “The Turning Point,”
and “On Golden Pond,” which Lee
agreed was his favorite. Liao said he
enjoyed “Kramer vs. Kramer,” but
said his wife did not.
Lee said that communication is a
new major to Chinese universities.
He said that while he pursued a ma-
jor in television, it was a non-
specific degree. Now, he said,
students can do internships in broad-
casting, like students in the United i
States.
When Lee was graduated from col-
lege, he did not go and apply for a
job at the center. He said the
graduating students list six choices
in order of preference of where they
would like to work.
He said he went home for two
weeks, received a letter notifying
him which of his choices he receiv-
ed. He said you do not go and apply
for a job. “This would never happen *
in China,” he said.
Lee and Liao both said they are en-
joying their visit and are learning
things they can take back to China
and utilize at the center.
Liao said high efficiency manage-
ment is important in the Chinese
television industry and reform is
made one step at a time.
“In China, TV is a new future,”
Lee said. .
