A cast of castaways' celeb island intrigue

The program has invited participants from different age groups, including 56-year-old singer Cai Guoqing, 37-year-old anchorman Yang Di, 33-year-old actor Hou Wenyuan and the seven members of the boy group, Teens in Times. Tasked with the challenge of self-sufficiency despite scarce resources, they are required to embark on a journey of exploration, and coexist with one another in the wilderness.

The show's chief producer, Gu Chaofeng, emphasizes that regardless of age, individuals should not fear challenges and should dare to step out of their comfort zones to challenge themselves. In this program, every participant bravely does exactly that.

"We want to convey the spirit of chuang hai and allow more young people to understand that period of history and practice this pioneering spirit in their lives," he adds.

He stresses it's not solely a hardcore wilderness-survival reality show but rather an enriching island exploration program.

Apart from constructing shelters and searching for food on a deserted island, participants engage in boat-building competitions using materials found on the island. They also undergo military training, underscoring the importance of the navy, and even organize a sunset concert on the island.
