Back to 1982: My Wife and Daughter Are Waiting for Me to Come Home
After unexpectedly becoming wealthy, Chen Xiangdong only discovers shortly before his death in old age that his wife and daughter had long since died because of the miserable life he had led. When he opens his eyes again, he has returned to a freezing winter night in 1982. His wife is holding their feverish daughter and preparing to leave, while creditors are already at their door. Determined to make up for everything he did wrong in his previous life, Chen Xiangdong starts with a broken radio, a bowl of hot noodle soup, and an abandoned fishpond. He leads his wife, daughter, and fellow villagers toward a better life, but gradually becomes entangled in a series of traps laid by village bullies, unscrupulous businessmen, a cannery factory director, and a supply-and-marketing cooperative manager. This time, he doesn't want immense wealth. All he wants is to have his wife and daughter at home, with a hot meal waiting for him when he returns.

Matapos biglang yumaman, saka lamang nalaman ni Chen Xiangdong bago siya mamatay sa katandaan na matagal nang pumanaw ang kanyang asawa at anak na babae dahil sa miserableng buhay na idinulot niya sa kanila. Nang muli siyang magmulat ng mga mata, bumalik siya sa isang napakalamig na gabi ng taglamig noong 1982. Karga ng kanyang asawa ang kanilang anak na may mataas na lagnat at naghahanda itong umalis ng bahay, habang nag-aabang na rin sa pintuan ang mga pinagkakautangan niya. Upang itama ang lahat ng pagkakamali niya sa nakaraang buhay, nagsimula si Chen Xiangdong sa isang sirang radyo, isang mangkok ng mainit na pansit na may sabaw, at isang abandonadong palaisdaan. Pinangunahan niya ang kanyang asawa, anak, at mga taga-nayon upang makaahon sa kahirapan at yumaman, ngunit unti-unti siyang nasangkot sa sunod-sunod na bitag na inilatag ng mga siga sa nayon, tusong negosyante, direktor ng pabrika ng de-latang pagkain, at pinuno ng kooperatiba sa suplay at pagbebenta. Sa pagkakataong ito, hindi na niya hinahangad ang napakalaking kayamanan. Ang tanging nais niya ay manatili sa bahay ang kanyang asawa at anak, naghihintay sa kanyang pag-uwi na may nakahandang mainit na pagkain.
