Preamble:
Ten years ago, it was broadcast in the prime time of the Spring Festival, and it set off a trend of "returning to nature with a baby" for a while.
Today, ten years later, are those vivid pictures of the past just a touch of color in the depths of our memory?
Many people remember that once upon a time, a group of innocent children followed their father on a wonderful journey......
"Where Are You Going, Dad", which swept the country, created a precedent for parent-child shows
In 2013, Hunan Satellite TV launched a new self-made parent-child outdoor reality show - "Where Are You Going, Dad".
The show is composed of 8 groups of celebrity fathers and sons, who need to complete various tests in an objective environment, and in this way, show the interaction and growth in the father-son relationship.
At the same time, the children's performance will also be the focus of attention in front of the camera.
On the premiere night, "Where Are You Going, Dad" became the ratings champion of the night with a rating of 5.7%.
In each of the following episodes, the ratings of the show occupied the top spot in the same time slot.
When the reality show gradually became popular, countless satellite TV stations followed suit and launched their own parent-child projects.
But in terms of ratings and influence, no one has been able to surpass this originator.
"Where Are You Going, Dad" not only allows the audience to see the little-known side of celebrities, but also allows the public to witness the growth of a new generation of forces.
The cute babies in the first season have very different styles and distinct personalities
When that classic theme song sounded, who would remember what kind of bright smiles bloomed on those immature little faces in the camera? They were smart or naughty, but they all touched the hearts of countless people.
"Yuexuan, call Dad!"
"Don't~"
Zhang Liang's son, Zhang Yuexuan, is full of innate fashion temperament.
He almost became the first "Internet celebrity cute baby" on the show.
In front of the camera, this 8-year-old boy is never pretentious, but he always controls the audience.
His brilliant mind earned him the reputation of "Little Adult".
When his father asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up, he said, "Be a director!" because I want to bring joy to everyone!"
"Then I'll invest in you to make a movie, okay?" Zhang Liangle rubbed his son's head.
"Hmm!" Xiao Yuexuan nodded solemnly.
If Yuexuan is a "little adult", then the 6-year-old stone is completely a "little man".
As soon as he appeared, he snatched the largest backpack in the group and carried it on his back.
Even if he was later taken away by Guo Tao, the father of the stone, he did not give up easily, and finally snatched it back with all his might.
"Stone, what kind of man do you want to be in the future?" Guo Tao asked his son with a smile.
Shi pouted and said very seriously: "I want to be a policeman and catch thieves and hooligans!"
Guo Tao patted his son's shoulder complimentarily: "Then dad supports you!"
Speaking of the most popular "Meng Bao" in this season, how could it be missing the youngest son in the group brought by Lin Zhiying - Kimi.
His iconic "cannon head", with a round baby face, made the audience want to rub it.
The camera recorded his cheeks bulging when he ate, and then waved goodbye to the camera with a happy face, which immediately healed countless fans.
"Kimi likes her dad the most!" When she heard her son say this, Lin Zhiying proudly showed off to the camera, causing a burst of laughter from the audience.
Now, little Kimi has grown up and is beginning to have the silhouette of a teenager.
Even if it is tightly covered, it can't hide the advantages of outstanding height and long legs - isn't this the signature of Lin Zhiying, who made countless girls crazy back then?
If you really want to select the most delicious "little stomach king" this season, I am afraid it must be Zou Shiming's 5-year-old son Zou Mingxuan.
No matter what kind of food he encounters, he can always taste it first, and the appearance of eating is particularly exaggerated.
However, usually, Ming Xuan is an honest and obedient person who almost makes people forget that he is still a child.
He would take the initiative to take care of the other children and cover them lightly, for fear of waking anyone up.
"Mingxuan, when you grow up, you have to share more housework for your mother, okay?" Zou Shiming touched his son's head and asked.
Ming Xuan hurriedly nodded vigorously, and it could be seen that he was very happy to share his parents' worries.
In the second season of "Where Are You Going, Dad", Tian Liang's son Xiao Liangzai attracted countless eyes as soon as he appeared.
With his short silky hair and a small suit, he looked like a gentleman who would pay attention.
"Let's play icebreakers.
The host suggested that the children get to know each other.
"Hello, I'm Liang Zai, it's nice to meet you.
Xiao Liangzai bowed respectfully to the other children, and then stretched out his hand to wait for the other party's handshake.
"Wow, why are you so polite!" said a young lady in surprise.
Tian Liang stood aside and squeezed his eyes at the camera proudly - his son was really the most outstanding.
Liu Ye's 5-year-old son Nuoyi, who brought "Where Are You Going, Dad", is worthy of being the child of an actor couple, and has shown amazing acting talent and high emotional intelligence since he was a child.
"I like Monkey King the most!" In the self-introduction session, Nuo Yi said crisply.
He even put on a monkey costume and learned the classic movements in the TV series, which was extremely funny.
Liu Ye smiled and stabbed his son with his elbow, and said seriously: "Then you also have to be like Brother Wukong, and become a hero in the future!"
"It must be!" Noichi nodded vigorously, his big bright eyes revealing intelligence.
Yang Yangyang, the 5-year-old eldest son brought by Yang Wei, has short chestnut hair, which is particularly cute.
He likes to stick to the young ladies in the group the most, and sometimes helps them braid their hair into braids.
During an outing, Yang Yang accidentally dropped the finished cake on the ground.
He wanted to hold back his tears, but after seeing his father's distressed expression, he still cried out with red eyes.
"Yangyang, don't be sad.
Let's go back and make you a better cake!" Yang Wei comforted softly.
Yang Yang wiped away his tears and raised a sunny smile: "Okay, okay, I'm going to make cakes for the young ladies!"
Everyone has the impression that Chen Xiaochun has an innate coolness.
Although Ying Caier is a Hong Kong girl, she is also hot.
However, their son, Xiao Xiaochun, has an unexpectedly gentle and introverted personality.
"I'm Koharu.
The first time we met, he greeted everyone shyly.
Ying Cai'er smiled and hugged her son and said, "Smile at everyone and show them your beautiful little dimples!"
Xiao Xiaochun lowered her head in embarrassment, revealing a shy smile.
The eyebrows and eyes that resemble their parents reveal their innate star temperament.
Du Jiang's 5-year-old son is hum, and his round face is always filled with a sunny smile.
He likes to play with adults the most, but he is also very sensible and often takes the initiative to take care of other children.
"Hmm, do you think mom is hard?" Du Jiang asked.
"Hmm!" Uh-hum nodded heavily, "Mom is the hardest! In the future, I will study hard, and when I grow up, I will buy a house for my mother!"
Du Jiang couldn't help but reddened his eyes after hearing this, and praised softly: "Well, hemm, it's really a good son of my mother!"
Today, ten years later, the cute babies have grown into talents
In the blink of an eye, most of the ten years have passed.
We vaguely remember that once upon a time, they would cry because of a toffee that fell on the ground, and they would laugh because of a game...... Today, they have grown up, and some of them are teenagers with little achievements.
Zhang Yuexuan is now 16 years old, and his size is about to catch up with his father.
Not only is he excellent in his studies, but he has already gained a certain reputation in the entertainment industry, and some time ago it was even rumored that he had fallen in love, which broke the hearts of countless "Yuexuan fans".
"I must be an excellent film director in the future!" Yue Xuan when he said this, his face was radiant, and he was like the boy who was coquettish on his father's lap in his memory.
Stone is now 16 years old, inheriting his father's good physique genes, and has developed a beautiful muscle through insisting on fitness.
He still enjoys high-intensity physical sports, and the dream of that "little tough guy" has come true - he is working his way towards the goal of being a police officer.
"Dad, I'm going to attend the police academy interview next month!" Shi said to Guo Tao proudly.
Little Kimi is now in his teens, but his parents still try to protect his privacy, and he never appears in public.
Even if it is hidden behind a heavy covering, it can't hide the boy's tall figure and slender legs.
"Nine times out of ten, this kid will go the actor route.
Fans said, "It's a copy of Lin Zhiying!"
Zou Mingxuan is now 12 years old, and his appearance is almost no different from when he was a child.
He excelled academically and often won first prizes with excellent grades.
After school, he also takes the initiative to help his parents with household chores.
Zou Shiming is sincerely relieved that he has such a sensible son.
Today's Xiao Liangzai is 12 years old and has inherited his father's polite character.
He gets up every morning to freshen up and dress meticulously, and when he walks to school, he always attracts a lot of attention from the opposite sex.
Every time Tian Liang looks at his son's decent behavior, he will think of the "Xiaosheng" era when he was also quite popular in the entertainment industry.
Nuoyi, who is 12 years old, is extremely similar to his parents in terms of appearance and temperament.
He has already integrated "Journey to the West" into his life, and has won unanimous praise from the people around him for his unique appearance as a mixed-race child.
Family members and friends have predicted that this handsome guy will definitely be a new star in the entertainment industry in the future.
At present, 15-year-old Yang Yangyang not only inherited his parents' sports talent, but also was one of the best students in his studies.
He is both lively and very sensible, and can get along well with no matter what kind of friends he makes.
Yang Wei looked at his son running on the court, and couldn't help but think of his youthful years as a professional athlete.
He believes that Yang Yang will be able to have a wonderful life that he has never reached.
12-year-old Xiao Xiaochun has officially entered the industry and played a supporting role in some youth idol dramas.
His innate star genes and gentle personality soon set off a craze in the fandom, and countless girls fell in love with him.
Looking at their son's confident and calm appearance in front of the camera, Chen Xiaochun and Ying Caier, like every pair of parents, are proud and happy for his growth.
The 12-year-old Hum not only excels in academics, but also shows extraordinary talent in music and art.
He has both a high IQ and an excellent emotional intelligence, and is able to perceive the emotional ups and downs of others and give them appropriate attention.
Du Jiang looked at his son's warm little face, as if he saw a warm spring breeze, and said, "I really earned it!"
As the years go by, we are still the same as before
The cute babies of the past are not what they used to be, and they are no longer those delicate children under the knees of their parents.
Instead, the teenagers are tall and tall, the facial features that are gradually showing their edges in their immaturity, and their increasingly mature minds.
However, when they looked at the man, their eyes were still vaguely innocent.
Always remember that once upon a time, you tossed me high and held me tightly in your arms.
Always remember that we sat side by side by the lake, and you pointed me to the brightest star.
Epilogue:
Looking up is no longer looking up, and I will eventually be half a head taller than you.
But when you lower your eyes slightly, I am still the child who is willing to be led by your nose.
As the years go by, I am still the same as before.
