In a cafe, his mother Mrs. Zhu, bought a coffee for her mother, Mrs. Gu, after their children had divorced and after the Gus bought their daughter Jasmine a large apartment. This tv series is about a young couple trying to buy a home: a common theme in China.

Getting one’s name into the deed  seems unbelievably paramount in China. In this series, his family is less able than hers, but his parents insisted on putting the downpayment for a 500 sq feet apartment when her parents want to offer financial support for an apartment double that size. Of course his family turned it down because they figured the deed would only have their son’s name. Silly little game. Because it’s so small, the couple sleep in bunker bed – one in top level and one beneath … have to rent hour hotel to make love.
