China’s urbanization entered a stage of advanced in1992, and urban construction had become the main driving force of urban development, and promoted the development and changes of urban space. In the course of the demolition of the old building and the construction of the new living space in urban space, China embarked on the path of a speeding urban modernization, with constructing and destroying coexisting at the same itme. Modern city is a spatial city, but also a virtual city. City space is presented in the drama, and people’s imagination, and works with virtual city to constitute a virtual city of our perception of the city.There is a dialectical relationship between television and the city. In1992, as china’s TV career was included in the tertiary sector, a large number of outstanding dramas are put on the screen,which tell the story of Beijing with much Beijing flavor. As a reflection of urban development and changes, the drama cannot fully present what is urban space, but it has provided us with a research model of a city.From the1990s, we can sew " Huangchenggener "," Beijing Chronicle"," Gossip happy life," and some other dramas, to the beginning of the21st Century with" will always have far "," pro-brother hot brother," and " struggle"" Who shall call the shots for my youth "," Beijing Youth ","home of the n-th power "," Beijing love story ", etc.Through the evolution of the drama of urban space, we can set off a corner of the curtain era, from which peep into the development and changes of Beijing society in20years.As China’s ancient imperial city of Beijing empire," hutong " was the main living space of old Beijing." hutong culture" is seen as a symbol of Beijing culture.For the Beijing citizens duirng1990s, the " Hutong " means what is "home",and is the main living and social space. However, the old crowded narrow " hutong " cannot adapt to the city’s building and meet people’s needs for living,thus was demolished one by one in the acceleration of urbanization, with the rise of high residential, bars, cafes and other new living space and social space to largely cover every corner of Beijing, becoming a new way of life and social way." In the last two decades,Beijing goes through the huge changes from "Hutong Beijing" to "Bar Beijing".With the urban changes from the " hutong " to " bar ", spatial and interpersonal communication mode is also changing.Hutong is a closed and social living space, and maintains a stable and harmonious relations among the people living in the hutong, resulting in a lack of independent space, with courtyard, kitchen, wells in the side hutong to become public space,to provide a social human hutong platform for human.Exchange interacts between family neighborhood through these social platforms, but this interaction is limited in the hutong inside a closed unity contemporary urban space with a wide range of features. People living in high-rise have a separate living space. Bars, cafes, plazas provide people with an open, pluralistic social space." Bar " expands the scope of people’s social activities and thus encourages people to seek more open, pluralistic lifestyle and social interaction.In the process of cultural integration and spatial changes, the Beijing Youth become more self and independence relative to their parents, along with the evacuation of people from the hutong.Family relationships are no longer the core of human interaction, and it has broken neighborhood, relationships become increasingly alienated and diversification.In the end of the thesis, the author throws a thought at some issues about the china’s urbanization. From the "hutong" to "bar", the process of urbanization lay a mark in the urban space.China s urbanization has brought development to improve the economy and quality of life, but it is also accompanied by digestion culture, history and oblivion loss of city personality.Among the "thousands of city side", modern civilization in a form of universal abrasive, consumps the traditional culture, and cultural nostalgia became urbanized derivatives. Urbanization also lay the mark on the city’s interpersonal relationships, the development of urban expansion enlarge the interpersonal space and time factors,with genetic and geographical relationships between people no longer dominant.The structure of the stranger social interaction between strangers become increasingly oriented person to person. Contemporary society is gradually entering a world of strangers, become indifferent between city people and utilitarian, and a crisis of confidence in the current interpersonal problems and new challenges.
