Prompt
A realistic nostalgic interior scene of a Chinese family of four at home in the 1980s, gathered closely in the living room and watching an old television. The room is modest, warm, and slightly worn, with a documentary-style candid composition. Show 4 family members total: a father seated at the far left in a dark blue Mao-style jacket, a mother beside him in a muted purple patterned blouse, a young boy in the foreground wearing a blue jacket and olive trousers seated on a small wooden stool, and a young girl on the right in a pink patterned jacket with her hair tied back. All four are turned toward the TV with attentive, quiet expressions, seen mostly in side profile or three-quarter back view. Place a vintage wood-framed CRT television on the right side atop a dark cabinet covered with a white floral lace cloth; the screen shows a black-and-white broadcast with a single person speaking. Behind the family, include cream-colored walls, a large old Mao poster on the upper left wall, and a vertical red calligraphy banner near the center reading {argument name="wall banner text" default="四化宏图 振兴中华"}. Add a wooden cabinet beneath a frosted-paned window, with lace runner cloth, enamel cups, a floral thermos flask, small jars, and a small bust decoration. On top of the TV place a square analog clock and a vase of pink flowers. In the foreground, include a simple rectangular coffee table with a lidded enamel mug and a plate piled with peanuts. Use soft indoor tungsten lighting, muted earthy colors, authentic 1980s Chinese household details, slight film grain, and a natural slice-of-life atmosphere. Set the overall scene in {argument name="setting" default="a Chinese family living room in the 1980s"}, with {argument name="family size" default="four family members"}, watching {argument name="tv program" default="a black-and-white television broadcast"}, in a {argument name="visual style" default="photorealistic nostalgic documentary photo"}.37:T7be,A realisPrompt breakdown

Nostalgic Chinese Family Living Room Photo
A candid early-2000s family snapshot inside a modest Chinese living room, photographed with the look of a consumer digital camera. In the foreground left, a middle-aged woman in a soft mauve knit sweater sits on a patterned carpet facing slightly toward the camera. In the midground center, a middle-aged man in dark clothes crouches in front of a wooden TV stand, adjusting a silver DVD or VCD player. In the foreground right, a small girl wearing a pink sweater and jeans kneels on the carpet playing with a colorful plastic toy vehicle. Their faces are intentionally blurred or obscured. Behind them is a bulky CRT television showing black-and-white static. The room is filled with lived-in details: a large red Chinese character poster reading “福” on the wall, a hanging wall calendar below it, 4 framed family photos around the TV area, a lace cloth draped over the television, a tall shelving unit on the right holding stacked VHS tapes, books, and media cases, and a potted plant on top of the shelf. On the left side, part of a bed or daybed with pale bedding and pillows is visible. Add a bold red overlay in the top-left corner that says “AI生成 (headline text)”. Add an orange camcorder-style date stamp in the bottom-right corner reading “2003. 12. 28 (date stamp)”.
