Overview

Zhao Guang is a hard-working chicken farmer whose self-made life has led him to dedicate himself to running the orphanage at his native Chinese village. His success with children leads him to local celebrity status, including a speech on national television. When Zhao innocently announces that he hopes to be the father of all orphans, however, he finds himself flooded with scores of kids from all over the area looking for a dad. To save the village's honor and retain his model-citizen status, he has to watch over no less than twenty-five unruly children, each turning his life upside down.
