变形记是湖南卫视发起的一档电视节目，以纪录片和真人秀的形式播出，也叫做新生态纪录片。该节目找到它与当前的社会热点问题相结合的特征，安排他们在七天中互换角色，体验对方的生活。参与者通常是来自城市富裕家庭和贫困地区的孩子。在这7天中，摄影师24小时纪录他们生活的每一个细节，粗略剪辑后以原始的方式播出。这档节目引起了公众的关注，因为它提供了人们最关心的话题，特别是家庭观众。
In this show, the participants can experience a quite different life. On the one hand, for the children from poor area, they have an opportunity to look at the outside world and to live a life like citizens; on the other hand, the children from city can experience the hardship of poor area and realize how lucky to live in a better environment.
在这个节目中，参与者体验了一种完全不同的生活。一方面，对来自贫困地区的孩子来说，他们有机会到外面的世界看看并过上城市人的生活；另一方面，来自城市的孩子体验贫困地区的艰苦，意识到能住在更好的环境是多么的幸运。
In addition, it also opens a window to the whole society to look deep into the poor area and think about what makes the gap between the rich and the poor so huge and what we can do to help the poor. In my opinion, the uneven distribution of wealth and educational unfairness are the two main reasons causing the huge gap,and they are the problems need to be solved by government and society.
另外，它也为全社会打开了一个窗口，让人们深入了解贫困地区并思考是什么使得贫富差距如此大以及我们可以做些什么。在我看来，财富分布不均匀和教育不公平是引起巨大差距的两大原因，它们也是政府和社会需要解决的问题。
