My Grand Partner
My Grand Partner’ is an outdoor game series that combines facts and information of our society with emotional connections between 2 generations. Grandfathers and grandmothers were all young once, and the younger generation may benefit from interacting with them. On the other hand, by hanging out with their grandchildren, grandparents may learn more about how youngsters think, and perhaps find the adolescent joys they had lost with the passing of time. The program combines the game show with information elements in order to enhance interactions between grandparents and grandchildren. This increases cross-generational exchanges and emotional connection. The game design considers the characteristics of both generations and their worldviews. The game provides a bridge between the two generations, as they learn while going through the game stages together. They can ‘communicate, learn, and benefit’ together, and share their ‘memories of time’ through the game, strengthening their inter-generational relationship and passing on grandparents’ experience and wisdom. Through the ‘transcendence’ games designed for the teams, home viewers and contestants will understand our local history and cultures from new perspectives.Read More + -
Nanyang Chinese

Through their reflections, the audience will be lead to understand how the gaps between the different cultures were bridged. The emigration of Ethnic Chinese (also called “the Han people” or Chinese in ancient times) were said to begin during the Shang dynasty. Subsequently, many Chinese stayed overseas due to many reasons including business, to seek refuge or for religious purposes. Larger numbers migrated to countries in the South China Seas after the expeditionary voyages of Admiral Cheng Ho, a favored eunuch of Ming emperor, Yong Le. Three primary reasons for the emigration of Ethnic Chinese: economic reasons after The Voyages of Cheng Ho, post Opium War migration and the move from Fujian-Guangdong to Indonesia.
