Wiki.

I Love My Family (simplified Chinese: 我爱我家; traditional Chinese: 我愛我家; pinyin: Wǒ Ài Wǒ Jiā) is a Chinese sitcom. It was China's first multi-camera sitcom and it originally aired from 1993 to 1994 with a total of 120 episodes. It is also the first Mandarin-language sitcom. It was directed by Ying Da and Lin Cong and written primarily by Liang Zuo and Wang Shuo. It was produced by Beijing Red Green Blue TV and Commercials Center.

I Love My Family is notable for being the first and one of the very few Chinese multi-camera sitcoms to be performed in front of a live audience, with the other being 1998's Chinese Restaurant, also helmed by Ying.

It was inspired by the popularity of Mandarin-dubbed episodes of Growing Pains as well as the family-centered premise. It is regarded as a "milestone of Chinese TV comedy", and its director, Ying Da, is acclaimed as the "godfather of Chinese sitcoms", and "China's Norman Lear" by foreigners. Primarily a sitcom, each scene plays like a skit, combining humour and emotional content.

Wen Xingyu (The sole senior of the cast) was regarded as the central star of the show due to his relaxing personality and screen presence.

Director Ying Da would later helm several multi-camera comedies and dramas, including the 2013 spiritual successor We Are a Family (我们一家人).
