"Every letter opens another world for us，" according to Guan Zhangwen， the director of the TV show． "We can also touch the heart of the writers'．" Since its first period on Dec． 5， Letters Alive has been widely praised． Many audiences （观众） said that it had provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows．
