Tao Quan 2016 focuses on corruption

This year's program is considered sharp, humorous and directly dissectes many outstanding social issues.

Tao Quan 2016 completed a three and a half hour recording session on the evening of January 29 in Hanoi. This year's program returned to the traditional format, with Taos from various ministries reporting on the situation on earth. Only four Taos, including Economic Tao (Quang Thang), Education Tao (Van Dung), Social Tao (Chi Trung) and Spiritual Tao (Tu Long), went to pay their respects to the Jade Emperor. The "immutable" trio of heavenly gods are the Jade Emperor (Quoc Khanh), Nam Tao (Xuan Bac), and Bac Dau (Cong Ly).

The neatness of the Tao "machine" and the return to the familiar operating method make Tao Quan 2016 quite coherent, the audience can easily grasp the story line, the content has little overlap. Instead of "throwing confusion" about Kim - Moc - Thuy - Hoa - Tho like last year, each Tao this year goes straight to the outstanding issues of the department or agency in charge.

The most common problem that exists in all sectors is bribery, corruption, and embezzlement, which are concretized inTao Quanthis year.The program chooses to speak frankly.. Stories of young children of high-ranking officials or leading officials asking to leave responsibility to their successors are inserted to create valuable laughter for the audience.

Ms. Dao Nguyen - a former lecturer at the University of Agriculture - highly appreciated the exploitation of the story of corruption. However, she also said that there were some incidents that were only mentioned briefly and stopped at the level of fun and not mentioned thoroughly.

Food safety is given a considerable amount of time and is one of the key issues of Tao Quan 2016. The program warns of the disregard for human life in today's business practices with the message "the road to the cemetery has never been so close".

The reports of each Tao partly recreate the social situation in 2015, such as the story of education exams, the story of good agricultural crops but falling prices, or the budget deficit in the economy...

Tao Quan 2016 has regained its form as a political comedy show, using laughter to reflect and criticize the prominent issues of the year. The comedy pieces are juggled by the artists quite smoothly and naturally, not awkwardly or forced, with some parts making the audience laugh non-stop.

Tao Quan 2016 was recorded in the studio of Vietnam Television.

Long - a 10G student at Lomonoxop School - said he likes the part of the Education God - Van Dung - because of her playfulness and youthfulness. Meanwhile, Bich - a student at the University of Internal Affairs - likes the singing parts of Tu Long because they are easy to touch people's hearts. Tu Long not only sings the lyrics of the song "Vo nguoi ta" but also sings Cai luong and Cheo.

The studio was packed with people. The audience applauded the artists for each successful comedy scene. Many children laughed heartily when their parents brought them to watch.

Tao Quan will be recorded for one more night and edited to air on the evening of February 7 (29th of Tet), right before New Year's Eve.
