Happy Times

Xingfu Shiguang is a sort of funny movie about an old man desperate for a wife, and thus willing to marry a really fat and mean woman. But what happens instead is that she dumps her blind step-daughter onto him and it's really the daughter that becomes the center of the story. The old man, Zhao, goes to crazy lengths to try and make both the fat woman and the blind girl believe that he is rich, although later on it is to try and keep the girl happy instead of to impress anyone. But it should be said that Zhao does act pretty cranky until the very end.
