In 1993, the Chinese stock market broke through 1558 points, the TV series "A Native of Beijing in New York" became a hit, the "Four Heavenly Kings" began to sweep the mainland, and the Three Gorges Project finally broke ground... Cui Guoming (the uncle), a graduate of Harbin Institute of Technology, stood at a crossroads of the times: on one hand, there was the secure job in a machinery factory, and on the other hand, the unconventional path of starting a business. He chose the latter—from a karaoke competition champion to a pinhole glasses vendor, from a "rolling goods" peddler to the inventor of a handmade bicycle, he turned the wave of reform into a "chaotic and unpredictable journey." 28 years later, his nephew Erpang inherited this "chaotic gene": he stumbled 15 times during the dot-com bubble, his grandfather, who witnessed the glory of state-owned restaurants, passed away with regret, Huo Dongfeng, a former gangster, retired from the underworld, and a street barbecue shop owner went from Northeast China to the world... This group of people, whose fate resonated with the times, forged the most vibrant Northeast China street life amidst the sounds of demolishing state-owned restaurants and the fumes of night markets.

1993 年,中国股市冲破1558 点,《北京人在纽约》热播,“四大天王”开始风靡大陆,三峡工程终于破土动工……哈工大毕业的崔国明(老舅)站在时代岔路口:一边是机械厂的铁饭碗,一边是下海创业的野路子。他选择了后者——从卡拉OK 大赛冠军到小孔眼镜贩子,从“滚包货”商贩到手工自行车发明者,把改革浪潮踩成了“折腾迷踪步”。28年后,外甥二胖继承了这份“折腾基因”:在互联网泡沫里摔了15个跟头,见证过国营饭店辉煌的姥爷带着遗憾故去,曾经的江湖大哥霍东风金盆洗手,街头烧烤店老板从东北走向世界……这群与时代命运共振的人,在国营饭店的拆迁声、夜市的油烟里,熬出最鲜活的东北市井。
