A Taste of the 1980s: 365 Days of Rural Life

Su Ming joins a show called Experiencing Rural Life in the 1980s.

As long as he enjoys a high enough quality of life, he can win the ultimate prize of 100 million.

On the first day, Su Ming heads to the fields and casually catches a whole basket of loaches.

On the second day, he returns from the mountains with a heap of wild delicacies.

On the third day, he comes back from the woods with a haul of game.

While the other contestants worry about not having enough to eat, Su Ming is already enjoying delicious mountain delicacies and game at every meal.

While everyone else struggles to figure out how to earn their first fortune in the 1980s, Su Ming is already visiting the town market and riding back on a brand-new, old-fashioned bicycle.

While the other contestants are still living in ramshackle cave dwellings that are cold in winter, hot in summer, leaky when it rains, drafty when it's sunny, and full of mosquitoes in autumn, Su Ming has already built himself a little Western-style house.

The contestants collectively lose it: "You came here to experience life, so why are you living it up?"
