Where Are We Going, Dad? Presents a new generation of men who, in a break from Chinese tradition, now take active role in their children's lives. Five fathers and their children traipse(走过) China, riding camels the western deserts, fishing off the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare home in Yunnan province. One dad doesn’t know his daughter’s hair. Another one must survive (生存)with his son for three days in the desert, where, because can cook, the two only eat instant noodles(泡面).
The children—and their bumbling(笨拙的)fathers—show remarkable candor(相对坦率). “I’m best at washing up(洗碗), I can’t do ,” one dad says to another. “My wife is great—she’s been raising(养育) our son for six years. I’m and it’s only been three days. I’m buying her some flowers when we back,” says another.
But on the show, we see fathers who are gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing.
