In China, the 1970’s and 1980’s are the golden years of dubbed films when a generation of fans cultivated their own hearing habits: to hear those foreign characters speaking Chinese in dubbed films where the characters’ new voices meet their personalities so much. Those dubbed films and the voices therein accompanied the growing of a generation of fans. They are so familiar with those voices and are obsessed by them: Jane Eyre, Rochester, Esmeralda, Zorro, Eceнuя, and Du Qiu … each voice reminds one of an image, and each image is deep in the memory of that generation of fans.
