Ambivalent Geographies and Queer Horizons in Secrets happened on the Litchi Island-series

Abstract | This article examines the 2025 Chinese TV miniseries Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island through the intersecting lenses of Modern Film Appreciation Theory, Cultural Theory, and Queer Theory. By analyzing narrative complexity, visual aesthetics, performative gestures, and spatial imaginaries, this study reveals how the series navigates the contested terrain of sexuality, secrecy, and cultural identity in contemporary China. It argues that the series produces an affective and aesthetic field where queer desire both emerges and is constrained by socio-political forces, offering viewers a deeply ambivalent vision of intimacy, belonging, and resistance. Engaging with critical frameworks by Ahmed, Muñoz, Foucault, and Stam, this analysis foregrounds the series’ contribution to global screen cultures while exposing its complicities with nationalist discourses and hetero-normative anxieties. |
