In its long-term and complicated contacts with the surrounding nationalities, Serbia has been seeking cultural uniqueness and corresponding national identity. The establishment of Serbian film and its national identity has experienced frustrations. Serbian movies played an important role in the Balkans during several periods of Serbia as a part of Yugoslavia and after its independence. Especially in the Yugoslav period, Serbian films participated in the writing and reflection of national identity through Partisan Epic films, Black Wave films, Prague School and other unique creative practices, and promoted the evolution of the connotation and development direction of national identity. Since the founding of the Republic of Serbia in 2006, its films still play a key role in the construction of national identity.

Xi Jinping pays more attention to Confucianism than any other leaders of PRC, which provides the first lady a diplomatic possibility of building new image by Confucian narratives. This essay analyses the non-verbal elements Peng carries, and tries to decode her narratives in global media from the perspective of Confucianism. Peng’s image showcases Chinese aesthetic concept of ‘Unity of Form and Spirit’ by combining Chinese traditional elements and contemporary design. The interaction between Peng and her husband, in diplomatic occasions, reflects Confucian tradition of ‘Husband Singing, Wife Accompanying (fu chang fu sui 夫唱妇随)’. Peng’s diplomatic contents demonstrates Confucian worldview ‘Under Heaven (Tian Xia 天下)’ and Confucian humanitarianism. Peng’s Confucian narratives in global media reinforce both Chineseness and worldliness of China.

This paper will explain the nature of the media system in China and its internal mechanics from a Chinese perspective. The media system in China is a combination of different media philosophies and the result of the long history of Chinese civilisation. In this system, the Chinese Communist Party, government, private enterprises, media professionals, public individuals and Chinese culture play different roles and provide different forces from different directions and in different fashions. By analysing each force and their interaction inside the media system in China, this paper elucidates the mechanics of the media system in China and attempts to explore the possibility of using these mechanics as a new model to explain media phenomena in China.
