After all, the world is not a stage-not to me: nor a theatre: nor a show-house of any sort. And art, especially novels, are not little theatres where the reader sits aloft and watches. . . and sighs, commiserates, condones and smiles.

Now things on TV are every bit as good or better than what you find in movie theatres.
All movies in China are censored. Out of 600 movies produced in China, only 60 are allowed to show in theatres.
