A Date With Luyu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Date With Luyu (also spelled A Date With Lu Yu) is a popular Chinese television talk show that airs on Phoenix Television. Because the show emulates the success and format of The Oprah Winfrey Show, its host and creator, Chen Luyu, has been called "China's Oprah". The show includes a studio audience of about 300, and tackles issues that traditionally have been censored by Chinese media officials; its guests have included people who are HIV-positive, lesbians, and transsexuals. Despite discussing taboo subjects, the show has yet to run afoul of Chinese censors, according to Luyu.
