"A Northeastern Family" became popular after its launch. It tells the story of an ordinary family in the Northeast. There is such an interesting family living in Shenyang. The father, Uncle Niu (played by Li Qi), was a model worker before retirement. He was not idle after retirement and was generally nosy. His son, Niu Xiaowei, was also a worker in Uncle Niu's factory. At that time, it was the reform of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s. Xiaowei became a laid-off worker. After being laid off, he was not idle. He opened a small restaurant near his community. The daughter graduated from vocational school and has not found a job yet. This family made a lot of jokes in the neighborhood, and every bit of their life became anecdotes that people talked about with relish after dinner.
