BEIJING, May 25 (Xinhua) -- Like many foreigners, 33-year-old Mildred had an initial idea that Chinese films and TV programs were all kung fu-style as that was what they saw on screens.

But things are changing as more Chinese video products are available on the international market.

"When I was a child, the only reason of going to China, it occurred to me, was to learn martial arts, but my thought changed recently after watching a Chinese teleplay," said Mildred, a Kenyan single mother, referring to "Go, Lala, Go!", a hot television drama about the story of a successful Chinese career woman.

With box office of 44 billion yuan (about 6.9 billion U.S. dollars) in 2015, China has become the second-largest film market in the world, following North America.

Additionally, more Chinese movies and TV dramas with diversified subjects and styles are being watched internationally.

Speaking of Chinese TV drama "Shanshan Is Coming," Russian viewer Rutla, who only give his first name and spent a single day finishing all the series, called the drama amazing.

"Shanshan Is Coming," a romance story between a girl and her boss, is now ranking No. 1 among all Chinese teleplays on Russia's video website Dorama.ru.

"The Journey of Flower," "Empresses in the Palace," "The Three Kingdoms" and some other period dramas can be found on the Internet with Russian subtitles.

While a limited number of Chinese teleplays became popular in America, Africa has the most fans of Chinese movies and teleplays.
