The TV show is called Shanghai A-Z and there are several hosts for this program.

Lifeline Express dinner party

My sister and I made a trip to Hong Kong last week and attended a dinner for the Lifeline Express charity foundation. The dinner was hosted by Samson Chan, the chairman of the HK toys council.

He said that all of his children have agreed to move home after their graduation and raise their families there. It's so traditional and I have great respect for that. Their family bond is obviously very strong.
