After the success of Chinese parenting reality show, Dad, Where Are We Going? <爸爸去哪兒>, a second season will featuring different celebrities with their children. Francis Ng (吳鎮宇), Gary Chaw (曹格), Lu Yi (陸毅), Huang Lei (黃磊), and Yang Wei (楊威) are the fathers in the second season’s spotlight. The production company initially asked Chilam Cheung (張智霖) to join the show with his son for 20 million RMB, but his wife Anita Yuen (袁詠儀) immediately disapproved after realizing mothers cannot supervise the filming process. On the other hand, it came as a surprise when Francis accepted the offer immediately, since he had always been reluctant in the past about publicly exposing his son. Although the participants of the second season were supposed to be kept secret, netizens already uploaded photographs of the celebrities starting the adventure with their children. Hopes to Learn From Experience Francis signed up for the reality show believing his five-year-old son, Feynman Ng, would benefit from having to overcome a course of difficult challenges. Past reports have indicated that he is an extremely strict father who easily loses his temper. Francis once revealed in an interview that he had given a hot plate in his son’s hands to stop him from fidgeting during dinner. He hopes his son can learn to face the tough environment in the countryside villages and become more independent. Besides wishing to help his son grow from the experience, Francis also aims to better understand himself. He finds it hard to control his emotions and often flares up in anger. In 2010, Francis was arrested on suspicion of assault in a French bakery in Kowloon City. He later admitted to the charge and was fined 10,000 HKD. While filming Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄II> in 2012, he was also known to have openly raged at backstage crewmembers several times. Creds: ihktv
