During the troubled times of the Republic of China, Mr. Gao, the landowner of Gaojiabao, was sitting on fertile land, but he was deeply troubled by the pain of having no heirs - his eight sons were all reduced to laughingstocks because of their stupidity. The eldest son is tall and stereotyped, and becomes a demon. He goes crazy when an object is moved. The youngest son is a glutton, greedy like an animal, and his heart is burned by hunger. In order to continue the "incense", the old man forced Gao Da to marry the docile Liu Yue'e. However, it was a rooster who came to the wedding hall, and what the bride entered was purgatory on earth. Liu Yue'e struggled in despair in the face of the orderly cage of her obsessive-compulsive disorder husband, the late-night terrors of her gluttonous uncle, and the chaos created by other stupid uncles. The seemingly prosperous fortress of the Gao family reveals its shaky and decaying foundation amidst the absurd farce of eight idiots and the stormy waves of the times. This is an absurd tragic song about the collapse of a feudal family, asking: Who is the real "idiot" in troubled times?
