## Prompt

```text
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 {wall_banner_text}. 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 {setting}, with {family_size}, watching {tv_program}, in a {visual_style}.
