The theme of Meng Feis program is blind dates. People have some bad feelings about the program, especially such girls as Ma Nuo. Meng Fei has a reputation throughout China. Millions of people show great adoration for Meng Feis humour.

Meng Fei is a host of a TV program, whose theme is blind dates. He has gained a reputation throughout China, with millions of people showing great adoration for his humour.

His another characteristic adored by people is his shining bald head, at the sight of which people tend to laugh. Although some people think he is vain of his talent, they still cant resist turning on TV to watch his show. However, he was not so successful before. Desperate for success, he had tried many jobs having nothing to do with being a host. he was always on the run to rescue himself from the hard life. Whats more, he went back to school to study, bent on changing his life. Finally, he lived up to his own expectations. Maybe some audience dont like the grogram, thinking such wrong values of money as Ma Nuos are so terrible. As for me, we should regard any person or anything in an objective way, just as we regard Meng Fei.opinionscharacte-risticsexpe-riences
