A New Life (Singaporean TV series)

Zhang Youfu (Christopher Lee) is an average joe who stopped schooling from a very young age to join the workforce. However, as he is slow-witted and clumsy, many of his employers find his work performance wanting. However, he is optimistic by nature and does not hold a grudge. Following the death of his father Zhang Wancai (Yan Bingliang), the heavy burden of supporting his entire family consisting of his mother (Jin Yinji), his elder sister Zhang Zhenzhu (Carole Lin) and his elder brother Zhang Hongyun (Andrew Seow) falls squarely on his shoulder. This drama also depicts how he and his three bosom friends whom he befriended back in his army days, Lin Laifa (Darren Lim), Ah Gen (Hossan Leong) and Steven (Seth Ang), all face many challenges and difficulties in their lives.
