The literal translation of the title is Huansheng Chen went to city.
Huansheng Chen, an ordinary worker who prefer to live a quiet live could not get his wish simply because he had a friend who was a high ranking official, the state party secretary, and everyone wanted to utilize this relationships except himself.
First, against his wish, his factory forced him to goto the city as a buyer for the urgently needed material, and then in the hotel, another buyer from a different factory became his good friend in hope of getting his help because the latter had no such favorable connection like him.
The official in charge of the distribution of the urgently needed raw material was under corruption investigation, did not ask any favor in helping Huansheng Chen and his friend, in hope of them putting good word for him before the big part boss, the state party secretary.
Huansheng Chen, who had absolute no idea about why things went so smooth for him, failed to get every clue his buyer friend gave him and a series of comical events happened around him.
This film, based on the novel with the same title, is a masterpiece of social criticism in the form of political satire, criticizing not only the actual crime of the corruption, but also the Soviet style centralized control and the planned economy that were the very cause of the corruption and inadequacy.
