Chinese movies have become one of the favorites among the youth in Malawi. Because lots of Chinese movies are available in the country, many people can now enjoy them in video show halls, homes and through the Internet.

Luis Ndalama, 38, is a businessman who has been doing a videodisc（影碟）business for over 15 years. He told Xinhua Agency his customers have been watching Chinese movies for a long time. However, because they didn’t understand Chinese, many of them used to have difficulties in following the movies. “But with time, we have seen many Chinese movies with subtitles（字幕）, and this helps many of my customers to understand them even better because the Chinese language is new to most of us,” Ndalama said.

In an interview with Xinhua, many young people were able to explain things they learned from movies about China. “It’s always fun watching Chinese movies. At first it was very hard to understand them because everything about them and us was different in terms of language, food, dressing, dances and many other cultural values. But now, there are a lot of things that I know about China through movies. For example, I know about Kung Fu, the Great Wall, food like BiangBiang noodles and many other interesting things about China,” Khama said.
