He leaves himself alone to guard the empty mansion. Cheng Hongdu can not cook, Cheng Hongdu go to the supermarket to buy fast food; no one to talk to, he is always sitting alone in the living room, two eyes confused. For Cheng Hongdu, waiting for his son to come home to eat dumplings every week seems to be the only meaning of life.
