1990s: Protecting My Five Sisters-in-Law for a Full Larder

In a Northern Jiangsu village in the 1990s, 18-year-old Lin Xiaoman held a train ticket to Shenzhen for work, but suddenly got the news—his brothers died in a mine accident, leaving five sisters-in-law with young kids, a leaking mud house, and debt collectors at the door. He was about to run away when he saw a bully push his eldest sister-in-law into the mud. His eyes red, he yelled: “My brothers are gone—I’m their sky now!” So he stayed: selling homemade pickles in town three kilometers away at dawn, hauling goods and carrying heavy bags at noon, stopping debt collectors from demolishing the house at night. He drank with a village tyrant till vomiting to get back Third Sister-in-Law’s seized farmland, even secretly gave his saved work money as food stamps to the poorest Fifth Sister-in-Law. But when life got better, rumors spread like wind: “The brother-in-law running the household—he must be taking advantage of his sisters-in-law.” Lin Xiaoman clenched his teeth, transferred the house deed to the five women, and held up the red document: “I’m protecting them, not taking from them!” When the warehouse was full of bacon and the rice jar overflowed at year-end, the five sisters-in-law surrounded him with hot dumplings, crying: “Xiaoman, this is our home!”

One-Armed Ball King & The Unyielding Ball King

There are two living legends in street basketball—Lin Shen, the "Left-Handed Sharpshooter" with one arm, who shoots three-pointers with 100% accuracy and leaves opponents speechless by holding tactic boards with his teeth and picking up balls with his feet; and Chen Mo, the "Undefeated God of War", who dominates all tournaments with exceptional talent but challenges Lin Shen out of the prejudice that "disabled people don't belong in professional basketball". Unexpectedly, he gets dribbled past and knocked down by Lin Shen's left hand in their first match, then roasted by Lin Shen's sarcasm: "I play better with one hand than you do with two."
