Story of a family of five who realize the real meaning of family after going through a series of arguments. Lao Zeng (Liu Wei) suddenly fainted at a community basketball game leaving a seemingly harmonious family in a state of conflict. The eldest daughter, Zeng Zhiting (Wang Ou), is a chief surgeon. She has been too busy for so long with no time for family. The second child, Zeng Zhidong (Sun Yizhou), is the director of the most luxurious hotel in the city. Growing up in a special family has left him with emotional baggage. The third child, Zeng Zhixiang (Dai Xu), left home early to open a car repair shop. He is the most rational one in the family, but he has to hide his relationship with Xiang Jie (Xu Fanxi). Zeng Zhiling (Chen Yanqian), the youngest who most resembles Lao Zeng, is still as reckless as ever even after her dad's accident.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
