The Pride of Chaozhou

The Pride of Chaozhou (Traditional Chinese: 我來自潮州, Literally I am From Teochew) is a Hong Kong–style television drama series produced by Hong Kong broadcaster Asia Television (ATV) written by Leung Tin (梁天), and directed by Siu Sang (蕭笙) and Jimmy Sin Chi-wai (冼志偉). During filming, its working title was《架己冷》(Our Own People in Teochew). It premiered on ATV Home Channel from October to December 1997, starring Nathan Chan Ting‑wai (陳庭威), Stephen Au Kam-tong, and Lawrence Lau Sek‑yin (劉錫賢), with Kristy Yang, Annabelle Man Chung-han, Lee Heung‑kam, Lung Koon‑tin (龍貫天), and Wong Shu‑tong (黃樹棠) in supporting roles. Its spiritual successor is I Come from Guangzhou (我來自廣州). The copyright is currently held by The Walt Disney Company.

The series is known for its depiction of the unique culture of Teochew. It is also considered to be a semi-autobiography of Lim Por-yen, owner and CEO of ATV at the time, being a Teochew native, hence it was rebroadcast after Lim's death.
