Five children have endless family shortcomings, and a mother's sweet and bitter colorful life

"Grandma's Dumpling House" uses China most traditional and familiar food to evoke the audience's memory of home. Although a bowl of steaming dumplings is simple, it contains the simplest emotions of China families. There were laughter and quarrels on the small dining table, and there were endless family shortcomings: the eldest daughter's marriage, the second daughter's business, the younger daughter's love, the eldest son's work, the younger son's rebellion... Mother Jiang Guifang worked hard to create a self-employed dumpling restaurant, which tasted the ups and downs of life for the family's food and clothing. She relies on her tenacious character and superb wisdom to cope with the endless storms of life. Every child's life contains Jiang Guifang's love and dedication. The taste of the world is Qinghuan. In "Grandma's Dumpling House", the most delicious taste is dumplings, the taste of mother's love.

What really supported her and her family through ups and downs was her insight into life and her simple insistence-"Living a lifetime is like making dumplings." Between the kneading of noodles and tables, between the skin and stuffing, between the rolling of soup and pot, after thousands of tempering, can they be served on the table and cultivated into a positive fruit.
