"We all work so hard nowadays that after work you want to relax," said Liu Xiu, who came to the Maple Motor Cinema in Beijing to see "The Last Samurai." Also in the family's car were her husband and 5-year-old daughter. "And what could be more relaxing than watching a movie from your own car?" Liu said. Drive-ins, fading into history in the US, are an exciting novelty in China, whose economic boom is creating an urban class that can afford to buy cars -- and wants the newest excitement. It would have been unimaginable 10 years ago, when the richest in Beijing were still saving for their first television. "We'd watch movies outside and sit on a rock or a small bench," said Wang Qishun, general manager of the cinema. "You could say that we Chinese have gone from sitting on a rock to sitting in a car." The largest benefit the audience gets in drive-in cinemas is that it provides them with a more comfortable environment. People can do whatever they like in cars, smoking, chatting, or making a phone call without worrying to disturb others. "I enjoy the cozy environment and cheap price there," said an audience surnamed Li. The Maple Motor Cinema can hold about 100 cars. And it costs each car 80 yuan (9.7 US dollars) to enter the cinema. 百灵编辑：茂军  | ||||
