"Kang Xi Is Coming" is a very interesting and famous TV show. The TV show will invite different movie or music stars who come from everywhere. A few foreign friends come there. They will talk about their culture and what are the differences between their country and China, such as food, dress, habits and customs. But the anchorpersons will use many different and funny way to ask them. I think the TV show can affect some pop culture because so many people like watching it and learn something from it.
