There is one serie that I watched on TV a long time ago, I believe somewhere in 1995 or 96, I'm not sure; therefore, the serie shouldn't be too old. Here are some of the details of the serie:
About the storyline:
The first few epsiode is when he grows older, around his teens and he want to go out and explore the outside world, but his father won't let him (fear that he might find his real parents). However, Shui Sheng finally convince his father by pretending to hang himself. It's so funny because in the process of convincing, his father got mad and tried to hang himself instead.
Once Shui Sheng got outside, he found a girl's slipper. He doesn't know whose it is, but he wants to find the owner.
The owner of the slipper end up to be a beautiful rich young women. They end up liking each other, but never got together because Shui Sheng was poor.
I believe he end up heartbroken and decided to stuff enough with food. So he and his friend decided to compete in a food eating contest. They stuff themselves with food, but they can never seem to beat the champion (a kinda plump girl).
And that is how Shui Sheng and the food eating girl met. They really hate each other in the beginning for they always fight and she would end up with two black eyes, and from that he called her "a panda." But slowly, they start to have feelings for each other and Shui Sheng end up marrying her.
However on the wedding day, Shui Sheng met the rich girl again. This time, she finally told Shui Sheng that she left him because there was this bodyguard of her family or someone close to her family who threaten her, and now she's running away from him. I'm not sure of the details, but Shui Sheng decided to save her.
In the end, Shui Sheng married both the "panda" girl and the rich girl. As for the bad guy, he end up becoming a monk. The End
