Reality show wraps up with touching family bonds

The emotional reality show It's A Daughter, It's Mom, which delves into the intricate relationships between mothers and daughters, concluded on Wednesday. Produced by the video-streaming platform Mango TV, the program followed four mother-daughter duos through a 21-day journey, showcasing diverse yet relatable interaction styles.

The featured pairs included actress Wang Luodan and her mother Xie Hongwu, Taiwan actress Fu Juan along with her three daughters Ouyang Nini, Ouyang Nana, and Ouyang Didi, actress Tao Xinran and her mother Tao Yuedi, and pop idol Zhao Xiaotang with her mother Yue Caijing.

The show's objective was to unveil the genuine dynamics within each family, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation between generations through emotional exchanges and conflicts. This transformative experience aimed to help mothers and daughters establish more harmonious relationships.

For instance, Fu, who previously focused solely on her daughters, discovered the importance of self-love and personal fulfillment. Yue, who once struggled to comprehend her daughter's challenges, now values understanding her daughter's emotions, bringing them closer together.

Tao Xinran and her mother, Tao Yuedi, transitioned from struggling to express their love to openly sharing "I love you" and "I'm sorry", fostering a profound mutual understanding and admiration.

Reflecting on the journey, Tao Xinran said: "I never truly appreciated how wonderful my mother is. Through this experience, we have gained clarity and learned to treasure each other."

In the final episode, Tao Yuedi presented Tao Xinran with a handmade photo album brimming with cherished memories from their adventure, symbolizing her love and empathy toward her daughter. "Through this show, I have finally grasped the nature and challenges of your career," Tao Yuedi conveyed to her daughter, showcasing a newfound understanding and connection.
