Baak Maan Fu Yung

Baak Maan Fu Yung (Chinese: 百萬富翁, Cantonese Yale: baak3 maan6 fu3 yung1, Jyutping: baak3 maan6 fu3 jung1, literally The Millionaire, also had the English words of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire surrounding the Chinese title) is a game show from Hong Kong, based off from the British game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The show's first host was Kenneth Chan. The main goal of the game is to win 1 million Hong Kong dollars by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. There are three lifelines: 50:50, Phone-a-Friend and Ask the Audience. Baak Maan Fu Yung first aired on April 29, 2001 and concluded it's first run March 20, 2005. It is broadcast by Hong Kong's ATV.
