No.3: Tian Liang— Former Chinese diver

Tian Liang was an Olympic gold medalist; this year, he was the most patient father. After Tian retired and turned his career into show biz, he wasn’t too shining until this year.

Tian came into the spotlight again by taking his 5- year-old daughter attending the TV show “Where are we going, dad”, a reality show featuring five celebrity dads getting along their kids; the program has attracted widespread attention, triggering discussion on the father’s role in children education.

In the show, Tian showed his patience to deal with his girl who cries easily; he said that most of the time, he is forced to ‘negotiate’ with energetic girl Cindy to agree on one thing or another. Touched by his love, he was listed on the 2013 Top 10 most popular star dad.
