The Taiwanese Household

The typical Taiwanese family. Ming-Hao and Ya-Ting are deeply focused on ensuring their pre-teen daughter, Xiao-Hui, gets into the best public junior high school in the Da'an District. This means Ming-Hao is urgently looking to purchase a small, but costly, apartment in the highly competitive school district. Ya-Ting constantly debates whether they should cut back on Xiao-Hui’s weekly cram school tutoring hours to save for the apartment down payment, even though she worries about Xiao-Hui's academic performance. Meanwhile, Ming-Hao is trying to secure a promotion at his tech job, hoping the raise will let them afford the apartment without sacrificing Xiao-Hui’s critical Saturday tuition sessions.
