To celebrate traditional Chinese virtues and encourage young generations to engage in good deeds, national public benefit event Searching for the Filial Teens will honor 10 children for their heartwarming life stories.

Set up in 2013, the annual project has been one of the best-received programs on China Central Television (CCTV). This year, more than 1,000 teenagers nationwide have been registered for the show by CCTV reporters, local government and online nominations.

The ceremony will be aired on CCTV-1 and CCTV-14 this Friday, with guests like astronaut Yang Liwei, China's first man in space, CCTV news anchor Li Xiuping and personality Ju Ping to present the prizes.
