Synopsis

Deep within the historic, winding alleyways of a traditional Beijing hutong courtyard, the Dong family leads a lively and chaotic working-class life. The household consists of sensible father Lao Dong, sharp-tongued mother Xiao Xi, lazy college-graduate son Dong Dong, and romantic daughter Xiao Xi. Navigating generational clashes, career ambitions, neighborhood gossips, and economic modernizations sweeping through contemporary China, the eccentric family faces every dilemma with infectious Beijing wit and resilient optimism. Through everyday squabbles, wedding planning, and dinner table debates, their authentic domestic warmth reflects the heart of modern urban culture.
