I'm a Boss is a 2009 Chinese television comedy-drama directed by Zheng Xiaolong, starring Jiang Wu as an idiosyncratic and Quixotic mid-aged Ma Yiming who, forced to leave his government career, enters the business world as an entrepreneur. Ma Yiming is a likeable character who is selfless, dependable, diligent, upstanding, and full of righteousness, but who is also utterly unsuccessful; his frequently amusing misfortunes highlight the contrast between the ideal that the Communist-Party propagates and the capitalistic reality in contemporary Chinese society.
