Family installs acrylic shield to protect TV screen, avoiding a projector, fearing she might hit the wall and injure herself
A 91-year-old grandmother in northeastern China has amused internet users with her passionate reactions to TV dramas, including becoming angry and even hitting the TV set when she sees her beloved characters being wronged.
The nonagenarian, who lives in Dalian in Liaoning province, captured significant online attention after her granddaughter, Liu, shared videos showing her strong reactions while watching these dramas. In the clips, she can be seen slapping the TV set and berating the characters, as reported by Xianfeng News.
Watching TV dramas is the grandmother’s favourite pastime, and the two shows she has been binge-watching lately are Chang Xiang Si, known in English as “Lost You Forever,” and Lian Hua Lou, which translates to “Mysterious Lotus Casebook.”
The former series is an ancient-costumed love story, while the latter is a suspenseful tale set in ancient times.
“If she dies, can you live? Have you ever thought about that?” the grandmother is filmed shouting in fury at a male character. “You’ve hung her on a tree! She is bleeding all over! Look at what you’ve done!”
In another video, she condemns another character, saying: “This villain is so bad! I must call the police to catch him. His sins will seek him out.”
