It's Hard to Raise a Petty Man

The urban parenting drama The Child Is Hard to Raise, adapted from The Child Is Hard to Raise, a work from Shengda Literature’s Qidian Girls’ Network, is currently airing on Hunan Satellite TV. It focuses on the lives of people born in the 1980s. The novel was previously titled The Little One Is Hard to Raise. When we grow up and leave behind our innocent romances and carefree youth, what lies ahead is an apparently endless stream of responsibilities: work, life, family... And naturally, raising the next generation is a major event no young couple can escape. One woman is frazzled trying to raise her own child; another travels all over the place to raise someone else’s child; and a third, after being battered and bruised by so-called love, finally finds her true love, only to plan on having a child too. The question is, is she ready? In this city, it’s the little ones who are truly hard to raise.
