On The Road 向世界出發 (HK TVB)

*(TVB) Blurbs of Season Two of "On the Road"

On The Road 向世界出發 (there is season 1 and 2--watching season 1)

This TVB Show is very meaningful and one of the best specials I have watched from a HK show. From a Law Lan's meaningful meeting with the Pope in Italy, Law Ka Ying in Tibet about mortality and life lessons after surviving cancer, Kathy Chow going to Thailand to see what is considered beautiful, to Karena Lam's visit to some Acrobats Schools in Mainland China, or a H Yu's visit to Dubai to see what wealth can bring are among the few stories shown. I enjoyed the visitor's perspective and comments on how their lives were impacted in their experiences. But also their willingness to be so frank and honest with their emotions and sharing with the viewing audience. I was moved alot. From seeing the little kids trying work hard for their dreams to have a better life but practicing and training 12-17 hours a day, living in frigid conditions, eating a simple diet with no meat but rice soup, a bun and piece of cake was heart breaking. To Law Ka Ying going to Tibet and getting more sense of peace and enjoyment of his life after suviving cancer. Or Law Lan's strength in her faith in Catholicism and finally shaking hands with the Pope. She was fortunate to meet Mother Theresa twice in her life when she visited Hong Kong and her story was poignant when she talkd about her mom.

I can see why there was a followup to this series and now a season three is in the works!!!!

Thanks mom for having me watch this tv programme (Cantonese with Traditional Chinese subtitles).
