Second season of give me five kicks off

Variety show aims not only to bring laughter to audience, but also to bear deeper meanings, such as promoting Chinese culture, Chen Nan reports

The second season of the popular Chinese variety show Give Me Five was launched on April 28 on Zhejiang Satellite TV Station.

The show can also be viewed on major online streaming sites such as Youku, Tencent and iQiyi.

While the first season was about celebrities taking on a series of physical and intellectual tasks, the current one features stars trying out 12 occupations. It stars actress Yang Zi, singer-actor Wang Junkai, actor Dong Zijian, Zhang Yishan and actor Darren Wang from Taiwan.

Unlike some Chinese shows which are based on popular South Korean variety programs, Give Me Five is an original production by the Zhejiang Satellite TV Station.
