A China Central Television documentary series, The Corruption Fight is Always Underway, has been popular viewing these days.
The title has derived from Party leader Xi Jinping's remark, "Anti-graft efforts are always underway", meaning they are continuous. The documentary has gained 37.9 million views on domestic video website v.qq.com, among the highest viewing figures over the past several days.
It is rare for such a documentary to enjoy such popularity nowadays. Compared with other popular programs, it features neither pop stars nor dramatic plots; its major characters are the officials in prison or disciplined for corruption, who share their stories with the audience.
