    For reference, you can look at the animations made by Ah Fei, and then find the original books, such as "I Had a Home in 1982," "Ah Wang Goes to the Mountains," "The Train Water Supply Man," etc. The plots are simple and straightforward. Compared to the idea of being rich and powerful, I prefer this kind of contentment with modest wealth (ps. There's a story about a construction site lunch vendor that embodies this kind of contentment). The quality of the animations is also very high!
