90' - 2003 - Drama, Family - Format: 35mm - Dialogue: Mandarin
There's bound to be big trouble in rural China when Zhao Guang, a former orphan, and now a wealthy chicken farmer, shoots his mouth off on public TV that he'd like to be a father to all orphans. Within a matter of days, a rag-tag band of ersatz orphans shows up at his engagement party looking for their new "dad". And within minutes, Liu Guiqing, his wife-to-be, delivers the ultimatum, "It's me... or them." But old haunts die hard, and Zhao chooses the feckless rabble of 25 orphans, and all the haphazards that come with them, over the pleasures of wedded bliss. Zhao finds himself at once father, mother, provider and teacher to a mischievous army of vagabonds who, from day one, terrorize not only his chickens, but the shrill Auntie Liu who lives next door as well.
