Others traveled through the Republic of China to fight for the world, become big bosses, and make revolutions, but Chen Afu just wanted to make a living, not get beaten, and get a wife.
Both of his parents died and he was penniless. In a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, he was chased and beaten by his landlord, blackmailed by gangsters, and despised by his neighbors. In the end, he could only run to the beach overnight.
Pulling a rickshaw, working as a handyman, setting up a stall, cheating, cowardly, greedy for money, afraid of death, and talkative, but luck is good and bad, and he can always turn danger into safety.
The silly henchman, the confused patrol chief, and the arrogant lady, a group of little people in the market come together to turn the troubled times into hilarious jokes.
No political intrigues, no wars, no love affairs, just a small shop and a group of friends.
No matter how troubled the times are, being able to have enough food, clothing, and a home is Chen Afu's greatest blessing.
