As the year comes to a close, the “Tao Quan” (Kitchen Gods) program has become an unmissable event that everyone eagerly anticipates. After a year of waiting, this special program has officially aired, featuring the beloved Tao characters.
One of the highlights of “Tao Quan” that attracts viewers is the year-end summary of events and poignant quotes. This year’s program was particularly vibrant, thanks to the return of renowned artist Cong Ly.
Alongside the “special highlights,” the show also presented moments that caused the audience to reflect, with simple yet profound dialogues. It revisited several trending events from the past year that were referenced in “Tao Quan 2023”:
