[Eng Sub]Little Huening Kai and his family on Chinese Reality TV Show

Nabil Huening was in a very famous Chinese Reality show X-change. Usually one poor and one wealthy families exchange their kids as an education. Nabil Huening participated in this program (without exchanging the three lovely kids) but he went to countryside to teach kids. He shared how he taught his kids in this clip. He said: "It's meaningless to hit them (to educate kids) often. " In the background voice said he planned to have more kids (and where are them). and his way to punish his children to suddenly become silent.
I must say: Kai really looks like his dad. We know what kai will look like if he dye his hair hahaha. The thumbnail is his dad at 31 yr old.
Edit: hello friends now I have added subtitles since a lot of people are asking for it
