In the opening part, everyone was enthusiastic and novel.

Passion is for those foods, and novelty is for a modern Shanghai that was developing in the late 1980s. It is difficult for Americans to see the current China. The formation of their stereotypes about China originated from two major events:

One is Li Hongzhang's visit to the United States, and the other is Nixon's visit to China.

These two things were 76 years apart, but under the manipulation of the information cocoon, they magically blended together, and established an impression of China in the hearts of most Americans.

For example, in later generations, with such a developed environment in the Internet, many Westerners thought that China was a big village, extremely backward, everyone was vicious and unfriendly, and were born enemies...

Zhou Yingxue played by Gong Xuenata.

This is a little bit of Chen Qi's personal fiction. When he wrote the script, he liked to let his wife's character have the word "snow".

She returned to visit her father and found that the other party was old and wanted to take her father to the United States. Old Zhou thought for a night and agreed. The interaction between the father and daughter showed unusualness and a sense of alienation from here.

The combination of Zhang Yi and Bao Dexi is absolutely admirable, and he has a first-class grasp of the camera, picture, light and shadow.

"I still won't go."

"Go! Zhiqiang and I agreed to do so."

"I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

"I have to take care of you."

“…”

When the father and daughter were talking, the two were sitting on the stone steps at the door, with their backs facing each other, behind them was a dark room and a bright courtyard in front of them. They were just sitting in the middle of light and dark light, mottled, as if they were separated by a gully of time.

After the daughter said, "I have to take care of you", no one spoke again and just sat there.

She was more like a fulfillment of her obligations than a bloody family affection. Her father's back seemed to have been hunched a little...

This is a two-minute long shot with lots of blank space.

Zhang Yi felt a sense of pride when he watched the scene. He scratched his ears and wanted to show off, but he was embarrassed. Seeing this, Chen Qi smiled and said, "What? Very proud?"

"No, slightly more."

"This long shot is really good, it is a bonus for winning the prize."

Of course, Chen Qi encouraged him. Well, you can shoot "Manjianghong" in the future.

Are you bold?

...

Zhou Yingxue took Lao Zhou to New York, and the style of painting suddenly changed, with high-rise buildings and traffic. The highly developed city is completely different from Shanghai.

At this point, the rhythm becomes lighter and the burden begins to appear.

Because my aunt's live-action appearance was made, Zheng Peipei's performance was free to play, with an exaggerated expression but not too hot, and his body movements were extremely rich, which made a burst of laughter from time to time on the scene.

Old Zhou was just a little bit old and made a lot of different jokes.

Some people want to see the scene of "conversion" that Chinese people have been immigrated after immigrating and are promising to the point of "Man in New York". Instead, they secretly poked the American ribs from time to time.

For example, Zhou Yingxue and her husband Zhiqiang quarreled again because of Lao Zhou.

"I can't understand why you want to bring your father here? You can send him money and find a better nursing home for him. You don't need to bring him to take care of him, but it ends up making yourself a mess."

"We can't watch our parents grow old and remain indifferent. It's normal that you don't understand when you were born in the United States. You've integrated into American society."

“Integrate?”

Zhiqiang was very sensitive to this word and said, "Why should I integrate into it? I am an American! I went to college and had a good job. I have a lot of white friends. We hold parties regularly and I attend community events..."

"What then? Do you want me to be named Guan Fu?" Zhou Yingxue looked up.

"What are you talking about!"

Zhiqiang was a little panicked, obviously he had such an idea.

"Ha ha!"

Roger Albert laughed and said, "This Chinese is a kind."

Zhiqiang represents the second generation of Chinese who are completely Westernized. He always says that he is an American and has made many efforts to prove it. But in fact, he knows very well that he cannot fully integrate into the white circle.

Zhou Yingxue is different. Although she immigrated, she still has Chinese thoughts.

My aunt is the most amazing. No matter what Westernization or traditions she is, she will never be in trouble and will only go crazy and mess with others.

As the story unfolds, the reason for the estrangement between father and daughter is revealed. Through the mouth of his aunt, he said that Zhou Yingxue had an older brother who drowned to save her at a young age...

There is also a small episode in the middle: After Lao Zhou came, he was responsible for making lunch for his grandson and taking it to school, which caused a group of young friends to scream. But this was one of the few warmth, and overall, it still caused a lot of trouble to the family.

Zhou Yingxue felt sorry for her husband. While pleased Zhiqiang, she cared about her father and looked at her children, while still having work, and was exhausted.

At this point, she also regretted it a little.

She discussed with her husband to send her father back to China or to a nursing home. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou was heartbroken and ran away from home and was taken in by the owner of a Chinese restaurant.

"My ancestral home is Guangdong. My ancestors came to the United States in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, they said that gold was everywhere, but when they came, they built railways and settled there in Los Angeles. Later, they ran from Los Angeles to New York and opened this restaurant."

"Then are you a third generation of family business?"

"What kind of family business is not a family business, I can only make a living. I have two cubs in my family, one man and one woman. I will support them in school and become a lawyer and a doctor in the future. I will be willing to die..."

In the small restaurant, the two of them had a drink under the lamp. While drinking, they had no food. Old Zhou got up and made a few dishes. The boss tasted it: "Wow, it's all full of color, fragrance and taste, and he deserves to be the chef of the state banquet!"

"What kind of chef is not a chef? It's just an old man who is disliked by his daughter. Every family has a difficult sutra to recite."

Old Zhou felt emotional and was quite speculative with his boss.

The two of them started to discuss traditional Chinese and American Chinese food, so the tangerine peel chicken was born! The Chinese restaurant suddenly had a hot business, customers lined up, and they attracted the attention of reporters. Lao Zhou went on TV...

The audience was quite interesting to watch.

If it weren't for the big set of preparations in front of Chen Qi, it would definitely be inexplicable, but now that with the preparation, everyone knows that the Tangerine Pi Chicken and Donglin have been released, it would be natural to read this paragraph again.

Moreover, this plot has a cool feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Zhou Yingxue watched TV and found out that her father was in a Chinese restaurant, so she quickly picked him up. After this disappearance, she suddenly realized that she had feelings for her father and was unwilling to mention the nursing home.

But the difficulties in life came one after another, and she found that Zhiqiang had cheated.

She wanted to divorce but didn't dare because she was pregnant again. Her income was not as high as ambitions, and she had to sue her if she had divorced. She couldn't imagine how she would live in the United States after the divorce...

But Zhiqiang became more and more excessive and began to have cold violence.

During an argument, Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but shake off the cheating incident. Zhiqiang was so angry that he attacked her and fell into a coma.

"You dare to do it!"

"Are you bullying our people at will?"

My aunt rushed up and started tearing her up.

Zheng Peipei has no aura of a female fighter, and deliberately acts like a shrew. Don’t say, the shrew’s combat power may be stronger than that of a female fighter. She has her nails, like a lioness who only protects her family, and she snatches and bites her.

"Let me go! You are simply unreasonable!"

"You maniac! You psycho!" (You madman! You psycho!)"

Zhiqiang was embarrassed and unbeaten in English.

The daughter of Lao Zhou and his aunt hurriedly sent Zhou Yingxue to the hospital, leaving her husband as a guard, blocking Zhiqiang. He was already torn clothes and covered with bloodstains on his face, which made the audience burst into laughter. The scene was funny and heartbreaking.
