The full color book contains 150,000 words, 150 high-resolution images and a high number of bloopers from the hit TV show, which highlights roles of fathers in childcare. A DVD of behind the scenes videos and five cute postcards signed by the stars of the show will also be given to the readers along with the book as an additional special gift.
Many parents are satisfied with the book, saying they can enjoy reading it with their children and also learn the good parenting skills that have been highlighted by the stars of the show.
Vice President of the Hunan Broadcasting System (HBS) and director of the Hunan TV Zhang Huali said that the book is perfect for those who want to think about parent-child relationships. Renowned Chinese female writer Bi Shumin also recommended the book as it can lead the public to consider how to be a good father, and how to contribute to their children's happiness and health growth.
Where Are We Going? Dad, is a program broadcast by Hunan TV that depicts an overnight journey taken by five celebrity fathers and one of their children. It debuted across the country in October 2013 and has since won high ratings. Its verified account on SinaWeibo, China's largest microblogging site, has also attracted millions of followers.
Much of the show's appeal comes from its star-studded cast: Olympic diver-turned-actor Tian Liang and his daughter Cindy, Taiwanese actor Jimmy Lin and his son Kimi, actor Guo Tao and his son Stone, model Zhang Liang and his son Tian Tian, and director Wang Yuelun and his daughter Angela.
In each episode, the five celebrity dads and their young children need to complete tasks such as finding ingredients for cooking food in the countryside. Each task requires the father-child pairs to cooperate with each other while pitting them against other teams.
The film of the same name as has been being shot in Guangzhou, the capital city of south China's Guangdong Province. It stars the same cast and the five celebrities and their children spend five days in Guangzhou's Chimelong Safari Park encountering adventures, while learning about love for animals and nature along the way.
The film will premiere on January 31, which is the Chinese Lunar New Year's Day.
