Ho-ho is a typical child of a northern Taiwan mainlander family (i.e. a family which came to Taiwan from mainland China only after WWII). Because he spoke only Mandarin Chinese at home and at school, he didn't really know any Taiwanese until recently. But in the last couple of years his Taiwanese has improved dramatically, thanks to the 8: 00 p.m. serials.
河河是典型的北部外省家庭小孩，由於家裡和學校都說國語，一直到快上國中的年齡，對台語還是「莫宰羊」（台語「不知道」之意），但是這一兩年來他的台語卻突飛猛進，這一切都拜電視八點檔連續劇之賜。
