This video is from CCTV (China Central Television, not closed circuit TV) Channel 7, one of my favorite TV channels. By watching CCTV 7 you can learn how to grow crops, how to raise pigs, chickens etc. They have shows on everything having to do with agriculture or the Chinese military.
I have published my translation of the audio as a Google document here, it is too long to put into the blog. You shouldn't need an account to view it. It might be a good idea to print out the translation and read along as you watch the video on full screen. I couldn't see the time elapsed when not in full screen mode.
For best results open the video with Internet Explorer. It does not work with Firefox, or Google Chrome. It seems to work with Opera and Safari. The streaming video might not be so good outside of China.
The video can also be found at:
and tudou.com
However, the commercials have been cut out, so my elapsed time notations would have to be modified.

Thanks a lot for this video and the translation!
very intersting...
I opened my best dan cong box and make a gong fu cha with for the occasion: a MO LI XIANG coming from an old tea tree (more than 2 century)
The video link doesn't seem to work anymore.
Thanks, Thomas. I am afraid the video didn't have tons of new information for a seasoned Dancong drinker, but I thought it was fun to watch. Some of the family argument scenes seem a bit staged, but as I don't understand their dialect, I can't be sure.
I have edited the post. The link does work, but no Firefox support. I also posted two other links for people who for any reason can't access the first.
