11.Produced by Hunan Satellite TV,Where Are We Going,Dad?invites five male celebrities (名人)from different fields and their children to spend quality time together in new environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.
Since it first aired in January,2013,Where Are We Going,Dad?has been sweeping the whole nation and has become China's most popular show,averaging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online.Even the China Daily,the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success,"The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming."But what accounts for the show's popularity?
Part of the appeal is the chance to peek(窥探) into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children.Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner,combing hair,and disciplining children.At the same time,the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive.
"Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the father's role in traditional Chinese culture,"said Xie Dikui,general director of the show.In a society still influenced by the concept that"men rule outside and women inside.",many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children.Usually,they appear strict and distant.But on the show,we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing.This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society-what is the role of fathers in today's China?
A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles.The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles,which is great because it shows people there isn't just one way to raise a child.But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children's choices may be a more appropriate way to prepare them for modern society.Meanwhile,the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father.For those parents,they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.
