China Daily | 19-Nov-2021

A reality show inviting three couples that are in the “cooling-off” period before their divorce becomes official to take an 18-day journey has aroused wide discussion online. The show, See You Again, has documented how the six participants get along while driving two recreational vehicles across Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

Celebrities including anchorman Li Weijia, singer-songwriter Hu Yanbin and Shen Yifei, a professor of sociology at Fudan University in Shanghai, watch the couples and discuss how to solve the problems they face in their marriages.

The program has scored 8.9 out of 10 on the review site Douban. Many viewers have said the show probes into intimacy, the art of communication and the complexity of human nature and can help people better reflect on their own lives and gain a deeper understanding of how to communicate better with their partners.
