A good Chinese TV program（節(jié)目）in Hunan TV is very popular now. It is called “Where are we going, Dad?”. This program is about dads and their children who are from 5 different families. They would finish some hard tasks (任務(wù)) without their moms in 3 days and 2 nights. The 5 dads had to play "dad" and "mom" role at the same time. The 5 dads, all of them are famous popular stars, They must forget who they are and just remember they are usual fathers. All the cell phones(手機(jī)) and toys weren't allowed (允許) to use in the program. They had to live in a very hard environment. At first, all the five children cried, because they were just 4 to 6 years old. They had never lived in the countryside. On the first day, the children’s task was to find a pot, vegetables and fish, and their dads cook dinner. As the time went on, the five lovely children were becoming friendly to each other. They made deep friendship and did difficult tasks together. After they found all the things, their fathers could cook delicious food. They all felt so happy. From this program, the five children made us laugh and cry with them together. They were 4-year-old Kimi and Angela, 5 year-old Cindy and 6-year-old Tiantian and Shitou. It was the whole story in Episode 1(第一集). We hope the second one next Friday evening will be more interesting!
