觉醒年代 Age of Awakening is rated 9.3 on Douban, on par with Minning Town, and is almost unheard of in the West. At the same time, the production quality (at least from what I see) is the best the country can offer. But I think the reason they won't bother with English subtitles, is (1) that it's produced by CCTV therefore non-commercial and (2) the nature of the series itself.

That being said, I don't see why not I try and give translating this show a shot, so I translated the trailer and here it is.

I've uploaded the subtitles to a remote Git repository so feel free to contribute whenever you can:

      I have it working too. The 5-minute video takes at most 20 minutes on a 12-core machine. The problem now is finding the right parameters to get the Chinese subtitles in place. Two subtitles lines are sometimes merged together, not properly timed, and some are ignored completely. Fortunately, when it does correctly extract the subtitle, the text is fine albeit with spaces between them.
