Artist Haozi took a dramatic year off last year and traveled around the world with his wife and children. Traveling to foreign countries has become a part of life, silently planting the seeds of wandering in the hearts of the family... "Seeing so many beautiful scenery, eating so much delicious food, and having so much fun

How touching, it will keep accumulating... It seems like there is one piece missing from such a great puzzle: family." Haozi (Xie Xinhao), a member of the comedy artist group "Hong Kong Xiangqi", put away his showmanship in front of the camera and said seriously.

During the visit, only Haozi seemed incomplete; however, this year of absence may be his most complete moment.

Hao Zi and his partner A Xiang (Chen Bingli) host the food travel program "Food Players" to visit delicious food scenes around the world. After more than ten years of debut, with their grassroots and slightly silly characteristics, they have become a local group that caters to all ages.

2016 was the peak of their careers, and media reported that their annual income at that time was as high as tens of millions of yuan.

Job offers came one after another, but for Haozi, the accumulated income did not turn into spiritual gain.

As the host of a food and travel program, it doesn't seem like everything is just fun. "Recording is actually a battle," Haozi said seriously.

At the end of 2016, Haozi took a year off and took his wife "Baby Fish" with him, his then five-year-old son Shibao, and his four-year-old daughter Queenie to travel around the world.

This decision made many fans' jaws drop at the time.

But with so much desire to leave in my heart, it was actually a natural decision to make.

"One morning when I was drinking coffee with my wife, I suddenly said to her: 'Let's go wandering for half a year.'" Although Baoyu, who had always been submissive to Haozi, was a little startled, she didn't question it too much and only reminded him to tell the company.

He called his agent in front of his wife: "I want to take a year off to travel around the world." Half a year turned into a year. Haozi's calculation at that time was to "leave some room for bargaining." Unexpectedly, the company agreed generously.

Didn’t anyone “persuade” you to quit?

Haozi said: "At that time, I told everyone that this decision was not a 'request for instructions.'" The company and Axiang knew that he made such a request because he had already made up his mind.
