Happy Dreams is Jia Pingwa’s “novel” of migrant staff lives in Xi’an, China. I take advantage of novel loosely as it’s modeled on an actual Happy Liu, a schoolmate of Jia’s. You don’t learn any of the backstory until finally the creator notes after the novel, which can be disappointing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CUjpwn-mPk
