Sinovision - Chinese version of Sesame Street
Elmo to teach Sesame Street values to Chinese children. There are now 30 different language Sesame Streets. Below are some key points of why there is a Chinese language Sesame Street.
- Chinese version of Sesame Street
- Fun fun Elmo
- Elmo represents the aspirational desires of young children
- One purpose is to bridge China and the USA
- Help the Chinese define their images beyond their shores
- See a world beyond China.
- The production of this version of Sesame Street is based in China
- The puppeteers are Chinese, the set is Chinese and the writers are Chinese
- An authentic Chinese version of Sesame Street
- A growth in Chinese media and a growth in education
The creation of a Chinese language version of Sesame Street looks like a very well thought out strategy to for children to be educated in the values that have been part of this long running education series. The program has been reinvented over and over since its beginning in 1969. I wonder how popular the program will be with Chinese children and parents?

A story in which each syllable is pronounced "shi"
施氏食狮史
石室诗士施氏，嗜狮，誓食十狮。
氏时时适市视狮。
十时，适十狮适市。
是时，适施氏适市。
氏视是十狮，恃矢势，使是十狮逝世。
氏拾是十狮尸，适石室。
石室湿，氏使侍拭石室。
石室拭，氏始试食是十狮。
食时，始识是十狮，实十石狮尸。
试释是事。

« Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den »
In a stone den was a poet Shi, who was a lion addict, and
had resolved to eat ten.
He often went to the market to look for lions.
At ten o'clock, ten lions had just arrived at the market.
At that time, Shi had just arrived at the market.
He saw those ten lions, and using his trusty arrows, caused
the ten lions to die.
He brought the corpses of the ten lions to the stone den.
The stone den was damp. He asked his servants to wipe it.
After the stone den was wiped, he tried to eat those ten
lions.
When he ate, he realized that these ten lions were in fact
ten stone lion corpses.
Try to explain this matter.
