The chaotic daily life of a rough-around-the-edges dad raising two little terrors, interspersed with memories of the 1980s, from ration coupons and state-run stores to factory reforms and the first stirrings of private business. With a comedic, sarcastic touch, it unpacks the challenges of raising kids and the pressures of daily life, while revealing the resilience and warmth of ordinary people caught up in the tide of the times.
