Zhuang Yuan

A group of Chinese refugees and straggler soldiers, led by a machinist, defend their mountain town, "Gezhi," against a surprise attack by Japanese reconnaissance troops in a desperate fight using civilian ingenuity against a trained military force.

A once-mighty gangster-turned-failure navigates life's struggles alongside his eccentric, dysfunctional family - a rebellious son plotting to overthrow him, a formidable wife running the household, a fearless daughter, and a scheming grandmother - as they all clash and collude to survive life's chaos and possibly reclaim their fortune.
