Question

Since last year, Where Are We Going, Dad? has been one of the most popular TV shows. It is produced by Hunan TV. The show invites five stars from different fields and their children. The show follows the adventures of the five dads together with their young children (aged 4 to 10) and try to finish a set of tasks. We can look at the changing roles of dads in the “Where Are We Going, Dad?”. On the show, the five fathers and their children traveled around China riding camels through the western deserts, fishing on the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare in southwestern Yunnan Province.

One dad didn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, so some people tried to help him. Another one couldn’t cook. When he stayed with his son for three days in the desert, they only ate instant noodles(方便面).

Along the way we see the kids and their dads having fun, but we also see tearful moments and uncomfortable moments as the dads try to get on with their children. The show provides an interesting view on modern family life.

Why is Where Are We Going, Dad? so popular? Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their kids. “The show makes modern parents think about what they should do with their kids. In traditional Chinese culture, the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much more gentle on their kids and they can listen to their children carefully. Fathers also teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety.”said Li Minyi, a professor of early childhood education.

In the past, children were taught to obey their parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But today Chinese parents increasingly realize that respecting(尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to get them ready for modern society. As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time.
