With titles of classics such as The Secret History of Kang Xi and Outlaws of the Marsh, Stuart Wachowicz expects the DVD section of the Confucius Institute Library will become a favourite haunt for aficionados of Chinese soap operas.

The library, which officially opened to the public this week, contains 24,000 volumes of print and electronic Chinese literature covering everything from language learning, history, economics, philosophy, geography and tourism. It also has a DVD collection of Chinese movies and soap operas, many with English/ French/Spanish subtitles such as the 40-episode TV serial, Outlaws of the Marsh, an adaptation of one of the four most famous ancient Chinese novels.
