My Name Is Chen Fusheng

What Is My Name Is Chen Fusheng?

My Name Is Chen Fusheng (我叫陈浮生) is a Chinese vertical short drama that adapts the popular web novel 'Chen Ergou's Unusual Life' by author Fenghuo Xizhu. The story centers on Chen Fusheng, a resident of Zhangjia village, who is encouraged by Cao Jianjia to travel south alone with the goal of earning money to find a wife for his older brother, Chen Fugui.

The drama falls under the 'counterattack' (逆袭) genre, a staple of Chinese short dramas, where an ordinary protagonist rises against adversity. With 85 episodes, it offers a substantial narrative arc compared to typical short dramas, which often have fewer episodes. The series is currently ongoing, meaning new episodes are still being released.

Episode Guide and Narrative Stages

Since the drama is still updating, a detailed episode-by-episode guide is not yet available. However, based on the source description, the story can be divided into several narrative stages.

The first stage introduces Chen Fusheng's humble beginnings as a restaurant waiter in the south. He quickly gets involved in conflicts, single-handedly dealing with troublemakers and taking on a side job as a bar supervisor. During this time, he befriends underworld figures Wang Husheng and Wang Jiefang.

The second stage sees Chen Fusheng forced to leave due to conflicts with a character named Xiong Zi. This leads him to meet Wei Duangong, Fang Jie, Chen Yuanshu, and other influential figures. After Wei Duangong's death, Chen Fusheng becomes entangled in power struggles and, with the support of many, resolves a series of crises. This stage likely contains the core of the revenge and counterattack plot.
