This is an epic about ordinary people, telling the story of ordinary people, preaching the friendship and morality recited by everyone in social life. It spans the distance between time and space, even the distance of age, and evokes the deep-seated songs of countless people. The screenwriter put all the sufferings on one person when creating, and set up an image of a man who waited for a lifetime and fulfilled a man's promise.

Although there are many bitter elements in the plot, there are also many comedy plots that are really hilarious. Huang Zhizhong said: "Home Cooking is not a pure sad drama, not just a sad one. The tragic plot is more interesting when it is expressed in a humorous comedy form."

synopsis

"Home Cooking" tells the story of the pessimistic separation of several ordinary families who lived in the late 1970s until the early 1990s. Liu Hongchang, the chef of the state-run canteen played by Huang Zhizhong, and Wen Hui, a poor female student who gave up the opportunity to go to college, played by Zuo Xiaoqing, broke through the great resistance of the two families and came together.

After Wen Hui died unexpectedly, she left her family with no financial resources. Liu Hongchang brimmed with the pain of losing his wife, while resolutely shouldering the burden of supporting his deceased wife's family. For this home that no longer belongs to him, he even gave up the opportunity to rebuild a new family, and gradually supported an already declining family with his sincerity and efforts.
