Just two short weeks after pop idol-producing talent show Youth With You wrapped up a hugely successful season, China is once again abuzz over a new reality TV singing contest — but this one is significantly different. Mango TV’s Sisters Who Make Waves swaps cutesy teens and twenty-somethings for a cast of mid-career female celebrities who are all over the age of 30, with the eldest competitor aged 52.

在流行偶像选秀节目《青春与你》大获成功的两周后，一场新的真人秀歌唱比赛再次在中国引起了热议——但这次却截然不同。芒果电视台的姐妹们掀起了一股热潮，她们把娇媚的十几岁和二十几岁的年轻人换成了一批30岁以上的职业生涯中期的女明星，其中年龄最大的竞争对手只有52岁

After debuting this weekend, the show has triggered a wave of discussion around ageist stereotypes and female empowerment. A hashtag tied to the show’s Chinese name — #乘风破浪的姐姐# — has already attracted 7.63 billion views on the Twitter-like platform Weibo and after the first set of episodes aired on June 12, Sisters pulled in a total of more than 370 million views in its first three days of release.

自上周末首播以来，该剧引发了一波关于年龄歧视和女性赋权的讨论。标签与显示的中文名字——#乘风破浪的姐姐#——已经吸引了76.3亿的浏览量类似推特的微博平台和第一组集后6月12日播出的姐妹拉在总共3.7亿多视图的头三天

Sisters is a knock-out competition where 30 female contestants are battling it out for 5 places in an all-female singing group. The top candidates will be selected by judges and the viewing audience based on four factors: individual qualities, potential to fit in a band, vocal expression, and on-stage performance.

姐妹会是一项淘汰赛，30名女性选手将在一个全女子歌唱团体中争夺5个席位。评委和观众将根据个人素质、融入乐队的潜力、声音表达能力和舞台表现四个因素选出最佳候选人。

While similar pop idol-creating shows often feature young, largely unknown individuals hoping for a chance at stardom, Sisters features a host of high-achieving celebrities with established careers that are already familiar to much of the audience.

类似的流行偶像选秀节目通常都是一些默默无闻的年轻人，他们希望有机会成为明星，而这群姐妹们则是一群事业有成的明星，这些明星已经为很多观众所熟知。
