The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Fate likes to Play Nasty Jokes.
This movie is unique in that unlike most Chinese social critic workers in movies or TV programs, in which the sadness is always accurately played out, this movie took a different road in making a comic look at the many small tragedies in lives.
The stories are fake, but the same incidents played happened very frequently in real lives, and particularly in the lives of the lower class and this is why the movie was so popular.
