 Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China published a notice about promoting integration of intangible cultural heritage and tourism so that the tourism industry can become one of the most important platforms for advancing fine traditional Chinese culture.

Intangible cultural heritage is an important part of traditional Chinese culture and also a significant resource for the tourism industry. Tourism is the main means of entertainment in modern society and can give intangible cultural heritage a larger stage and stimulate its vitality. Integrating intangible cultural heritage with tourism through diverse means such as demonstrating local handicraft techniques can benefit both the conservation of intangible cultural heritage and the development of the tourism industry.

Gao Qiqiang, one of leading roles and the No.1 antagonist in the series The Knockout, has become one of the favorite roles that has sparked numerous discussions among Chinese netizens. Many netizens expressed sympathy for Gao and his experiences because they were fond of the role.

The reactions to antagonists among netizens reflect improvements in creating characters and the higher quality of TV shows, but writers who create characters should consider their social influence and how to correctly guide public opinion. Producers should not ignore a sense of right and wrong when creating stories.
