X-change is a TV program launched by Hunan TV, brodcasting in the mode of documentary and reality show, known as the “new eco-documentary”. The show finds its characters combining with the current hot spots of society, arranges them to swap roles in seven days to experience each other’s lives. The participants usually are children coming from wealthy families in city and from poor area. During the seven days, cameramen record their every details throughout the 24 hours, and then broadcast in an original way after rough cuts. This show draws public’s attention because it supplies topics that people care most to discuss, family audiences especially.

變形記是湖南衛視發起的一檔電視節目，以紀錄片和真人秀的形式播出，也叫做“新生態紀錄片”。該節目找到它與當前的社會熱點問題相結合的特征，安排他們在七天中互換角色，體驗對方的生活。參與者通常是來自城市富裕家庭和貧困地區的孩子。在這7天中，攝影師24小時紀錄他們生活的每一個細節，粗略剪輯后以原始的方式播出。這檔節目引起了公眾的關注，因為它提供了人們最關心的話題，特別是家庭觀眾。

In this show, the participants can experience a quite different life. On the one hand, for the children from poor area, they have an opportunity to look at the outside world and to live a life like citizens; on the other hand, the children from city can experience the hardship of poor area and realize how lucky to live in a better environment.

在這個節目中，參與者體驗了一種完全不同的生活。一方面，對來自貧困地區的孩子來說，他們有機會到外面的世界看看并過上城市人的生活；另一方面，來自城市的孩子體驗貧困地區的艱苦，意識到能住在更好的環境是多么的幸運。

In addition, it also opens a window to the whole society to look deep into the poor area and think about what makes the gap between the rich and the poor so huge and what we can do to help the poor. In my opinion, the uneven distribution of wealth and educational unfairness are the two main reasons causing the huge gap,and they are the problems need to be solved by government and society.

另外，它也為全社會打開了一個窗口，讓人們深入了解貧困地區并思考是什么使得貧富差距如此大以及我們可以做些什么。在我看來，財富分布不均勻和教育不公平是引起巨大差距的兩大原因，它們也是政府和社會需要解決的問題。
