Synopis: In the 1930s in Shanghai, Miss Xian was raised by her single mother Hui, who ran a photography studio. By chance, Xian followed her lover Cong to the set and caught the attention of Mr. Meng from the film company, thus changing her life's fate. Meng, the boss, took advantage of Xian's purity and longing for actress status to give her the glory of a celebrity and the illusion of emotions. However, in the midst of war, she abandoned Xian, who was already pregnant, in order to protect herself. Mother Hui also sadly passed away due to the betrayal of her emotional pillar, Lao Wang. The longing for her daughter Zhi has become a hope for Xian's survival. In the 1950s, Zhi also grew up and fell in love with her classmate Zou Jie, who also worked at the shipyard. Due to their background, the love between the young couple was hindered, but despite this, the two who were determined to pursue progress still walked together firmly. Xian, who has reached middle age, reunites with her long lost former lover Cong and rekindles their relationship, loving each other for a lifetime. The life experiences full of joys and sorrows have allowed two generations to reconcile their past grievances, and mother and daughter have welcomed their own beautiful lives

01:43Today is our family's big day. I don't want to miss it.
01:46Today is also your big day.
01:49From today on, you will enter society.
01:51I want to celebrate with you.
01:52Let's do it another day.
01:54For so many years, I've been waiting for the day when my mom and Uncle Li get together.
01:58Uncle Li promised me that he would confess to my mom today.
02:01I want to witness this day.
02:03Hey, Sister, what about our agreement?
02:05You said that after you graduate, I have to go visit your mother.
02:10Wait a bit longer.
02:11I have to let my mom know that I have you.
02:15Then sit tight.
02:16Let's go.
02:21I love you.
02:39Mom, what are you doing here alone? Where's Uncle Li?
02:44You're back.
02:46The graduation ceremony is over.
02:48It's over? Where's Uncle Li?
02:51He left.
02:52He left? Where did he go?
02:55Uncle Li went back to his hometown.
02:57Uncle Li went back to his hometown?
02:59What should we do about our photo studio?
03:01What exactly happened?
03:03He resigned. He left us.
03:10Is it because you didn't promise Uncle Li to be good to him,
03:13that's why he left?
03:16It's all your fault.
03:17How is it my fault?
03:19You promised me yourself.
03:21You said that after I graduate, I'll be good to Uncle Li.
03:23I wanted you to go to school well.
03:25But you promised me that you'd give me a father.
03:28What else do you want?
03:31Mom.
03:33Mom, you can't go back on your word.
03:36Uncle Li is a good person.
03:39I'm waiting for your biological father to come back.
03:41You're waiting for him?
03:44But where is he?
03:45I'm so big. I've never seen him.
03:49Uncle Li has been supporting our family.
03:51In my heart, I've already taken him as my father.
03:56Mom, you can't lie to me like this.
03:59I've been waiting for this day.
04:01You'll understand when you grow up.
04:04I'll go find Uncle Li.
04:05Go.
04:07Please return this to him for me.
04:10Tell him I'm sorry.
04:12I really can't accept him.
04:20Uncle Li.
04:29Uncle Li.
04:43My mom said that she's sorry for you.
04:48It's not your fault.
04:49In her heart...
04:50It's her fault.
04:51She doesn't keep her word.
04:53She promised me herself.
04:54She said that she'd accept you when I graduated.
05:00Uncle Li.
05:02I heard that you're leaving.
05:07Yes.
05:10I'm going back home.
05:11Uncle Li, you can't leave.
05:14In my heart, you're my father.
05:17No matter what happens to my mom, I won't let you go.
05:23Okay.
05:25With your words,
05:27Uncle Li will be satisfied.
05:31But have you thought about how I'll stay in your house?
05:34It's not convenient.
05:35Then you can't go in.
05:37This is a matter of feelings.
05:39You're still young.
05:40You'll understand when you grow up.
05:43What about your mom?
05:45She loves your dad.
05:48Your dad is your mom's only dream.
05:51It's just a daydream.
05:53She's been waiting for a dream that she can't have.
05:59Wait for my good news.
06:00Write it.
06:02Leave.
06:13I told you to return this to Uncle Li.
06:15He gave this to you.
06:17If you want to return it, return it yourself.
06:20What are you going to do?
06:21Eat.
06:23Do you think I have the mood to eat?
06:26I thought I was going to have a father today.
06:34Let's eat.
06:35You don't understand me at all.
06:37I don't have a father.
06:39Do you know what people call me?
06:41They call me a swine.
06:52Mom.
06:56Uncle Lin is so good to us.
06:59Why can't you promise him?
07:02Your mother didn't love Uncle Lin.
07:05If you let Uncle Lin leave our house,
07:09I'll leave, too.
07:11I'll leave this house, too.
07:13Do you dare?
07:14Of course I dare.
07:15Don't think I'm scaring you.
07:27I know I'm sorry.
07:29I've been a burden to you for so many years.
07:32Is this compensation?
07:36Thank you for taking care of us for so many years.
07:43You want to use this money to compensate me.
07:49It's not compensation.
07:51It's thanks.
07:52I don't need to thank you.
07:54I don't need to thank you.
07:58All these years, I've seen you support this guy alone.
08:00I feel sorry for you.
08:01Do you understand?
08:03I want to share the burden for you.
08:04I know.
08:06You only have my brother in your heart.
08:08But this man is not worth you.
08:11Do you understand?
08:18I'll give you the money.
08:21I'll take the ring back.
08:25Let me tell you this.
08:27I've been willing to stay for the past few years.
08:30I want to grow up.
08:34I can rest assured.
08:50I love you.
09:21Money.
09:25Money.
09:45Mom, I'm leaving.
09:47Uncle Li won't come back.
09:48I won't come back, either.
09:59Money.
10:00Money.
10:02Money.
10:06Money.
10:11Money.
10:15Money.
10:17Money.
10:34It's okay.
10:36It's okay.
10:48Where are they going?
10:52I've been to my classmate's house.
10:54I've looked everywhere.
10:57But where are they going?
11:00Don't worry.
11:02He's just mad at you.
11:04Maybe he'll be back soon.
11:07He's going to go against me.
11:10I don't know if he's ever left the house or me.
11:14What should I do if he wants to break up with me?
11:20He won't. Don't worry.
11:22He's a good boy.
11:24He won't run away.
11:25Let's keep looking.
11:36Sister.
11:38What's wrong?
11:40I have nowhere to go.
11:51How did you get hurt?
11:54I fell down when I was running.
11:58You were in such a hurry to run away.
12:01He didn't keep his word.
12:03He promised me.
12:05He said he'd tell you when I graduated.
12:07He promised me.
12:09You can't force a relationship.
12:12You can't force it.
12:20Is this a birthmark?
12:22Does it hurt?
12:24Birthmarks don't hurt.
12:27It'll stay with you forever.
12:29It's like a mark on your body.
12:33I don't think so.
12:34Why not?
12:36Isn't it on the corner of your mouth?
12:37This?
12:39It's a mole, not a birthmark.
12:42A mole is a birthmark.
12:44You're lying.
12:59I'll get you some water.
13:04Okay.
13:10Have some water.
13:17You can cook?
13:19How can I feed myself if I can't cook?
13:34Get in there.
13:36It's raining heavily.
13:38Get in there.
13:39Be a good boy.
13:41Get in there.
13:48Is it good?
13:50Yes.
13:54How's the graduation photo?
13:56It's okay.
14:04It's okay.
14:10Xin.
14:11Do you have any plans after graduation?
14:15I haven't thought about it.
14:18You should think about it.
14:20You're educated.
14:22You should find a job.
14:24Train yourself in social practice.
14:26Be an independent new woman.
14:30Can I do it?
14:31Of course.
14:32The world is big.
14:34It's your choice to make.
14:38Okay.
14:41It's time to send you home.
14:46What?
14:47You don't want to go home?
14:49No way.
14:50Your mother only has one daughter.
14:52She'll be worried if you don't go home.
14:54Can I go home tomorrow?
14:57No.
14:58You can't.
15:02Then I'll stay out all night.
15:17Okay.
15:18I'll sleep here.
15:22This is my place.
15:24You can sleep on the bed.
15:26I can sleep here.
15:28Are you afraid?
15:33I'll sleep on the street.
15:58Okay.
16:13Have some more.
16:16Mom.
16:19You're back.

29:06Let's go home
29:11Let's go
29:17Do you know
29:19What I'm going to do now?
29:23I'm going to marry the woman you just met
29:25Why?
29:27Her ex-husband is the king of Indonesia
29:31She has billions of dollars
29:35Do you believe in love?
29:38Forget me
29:43Just pretend I'm not in this world
29:53Do you know

29:58I'm going to marry the woman you just met
30:02Forget me
30:04Just pretend I'm not in this world
30:07I'm going to marry the woman you just met
30:09I'm going to marry the woman you just met
30:13Forget me

30:23Are you all right?
30:25I brought the gun.
30:27Take it.
30:30I'm scared.
30:32Will my mother be all right?
30:34Don't be afraid. I'm here.
30:36Go and get ready.
30:48I just bought some porridge for you on the opposite street.
30:53The nurse here said the roast beef is delicious.
30:56I saw a lot of people in line.
30:59It smells good.
31:07Let's drink porridge first.
31:09It's still hot.
31:13Here you are.
31:15Drink a little.
31:17I don't want to drink.
31:19Drink a little.
31:23Drink a little.
31:25What are you doing?
31:36All right, mom.
31:38Just one bite.
31:41Just drink a little.
31:46Mom.
31:48Why are you doing this?
31:51Can't you forget that man?
31:54He's sorry for you.
31:56It's not worth it.
31:59Are you going to die?
32:03You can't leave me alone.
32:08You can't do this anymore.
32:12What if you die?
32:14What do you want me to do?
32:18What do you want me to do?
32:49Here it is.
32:56Here you are.
32:58Be careful, mom.
33:04You go in first. I'll pick it up.
33:07I'll pick it up.
33:16Mom, sit down first.
33:18I'm going to boil some water.
33:20You should take your medicine.
33:22Where did you get the money for my hospitalization?
33:28I borrowed it from my classmate.
33:31There's a handkerchief in the drawer of that cabinet.
33:34Can you bring it to me?
33:38Is it this one?
33:40Yes.
33:43Here you are.
33:49This money should be enough.
33:51Take it and return it to him for me.
33:54Mom.
33:55Uncle Lin just left.
33:57No one takes care of the photo studio.
33:59I'm not in a hurry to pay back the money I borrowed.
34:02You must pay back the money you borrowed from others immediately.
34:05Uncle Lin has left.
34:07I'll find someone to help me.
34:09Don't worry.
34:11I'll take care of our photo studio.
34:16Then I'll return the money to others as soon as possible.
34:23Coming.
34:28Miss Su.
34:30I'm from Yifeng Tailor Shop.
34:32Please sign the cheongsam we made in our shop.
34:36Okay.
34:44Xie An.
34:45Who is it?
34:47It's from the cheongsam shop.
34:49They sent us the cheongsam we made.
35:02I should have made the blue one.
35:05I can wear it normally.
35:07I can wear this one too.
35:11It's too bright.
35:33Xie An.
35:38Cong.
35:40Where are you going?
35:42I think you're coming.
35:43Really?
35:44Is your mom okay?
35:46She's fine.
35:47She's sleeping now.
35:49I'm going to cook.
35:51Do you want to come with me?
35:52You didn't tell your mom that I'm coming.
35:55It's okay.
35:56She's sleeping in her room.
35:58She won't come to the kitchen.
35:59Okay.
36:02This is my room.
36:07This is my mom's room.
36:09Come.
36:13Have you never done housework before?
36:17My mom does it all.
36:19She doesn't usually let me do it.
36:21Let me do it.
36:27You cut it so well.
36:29How are you going to cook this dish?
36:33I haven't decided yet.
36:35How should I cook it?
36:38Use an egg.
36:49Let me do it.
36:52I'll light the fire.
37:00Pour some oil.
37:02Then pour less.
37:04Light it up.
37:06It's hot.
37:07It's okay.
37:08It's enough.
37:12You're like a lady
37:14who has a lot of skills.
37:16If you leave your mom,
37:18what are you going to do?
37:25Try it.
37:26It's cooked by you.
37:29It's good.
37:37Okay.
37:38Go upstairs.
37:39When your mom wakes up,
37:40eat it while it's hot.
37:43This is the money you gave me
37:45when my mom was in the hospital.
37:47You don't have to return it.
37:48Your mom is sick.
37:49What if it's useful?
37:50No.
37:51My mom asked me to return it.
37:53Okay.
37:54If you need it again,
37:55tell me anytime.
37:58Okay.
38:01Cong.
38:03The photo studio is closed.
38:06My mom is sick, too.
38:09I want to find a job.
38:11Are you really going to find a job?
38:13Yes.
38:14Didn't you tell me
38:16that I should be an independent woman?
38:18Okay.
38:19If you want,
38:20I can help you ask our newspaper.
38:22Maybe I can introduce you
38:24as a student.
38:25Really?
38:26If I can work in your newspaper,
38:28that's great.
38:29I'd love to.
38:30It's not up to me.
38:31I have to ask our director.
38:34If I can work in your newspaper,
38:36we can be together every day.
38:48Be careful.
38:50Is it hot?
38:52It's good.
38:54Have a seat.
38:56Let's sit together.
39:13It's been hard on you.
39:16You've never suffered so much
39:18since you were a kid.
39:20It's my duty.
39:21I don't think it's hard.
39:24Why do I suddenly feel that
39:26you've grown up
39:27and can cook?
39:31Mom.
39:33I have something to tell you.
39:35What is it?
39:37I want to
39:38find a job.
39:42A job?
39:44You're sick now.
39:46Our photo studio is closed.
39:48I want to make some money
39:50to support our family.
39:52You don't have to worry about
39:54making money.
39:55I've grown up.
39:56I should share the pressure.
39:59Besides,
40:00I want to be
40:01an independent woman.
40:03Independent?
40:04You're still young.
40:05Why do you want to be independent?
40:07The society is chaotic.
40:09You should stay at home.
40:13You just said
40:14I've grown up.
40:17I just want to work.
40:20You want to work?
40:24Can you help me
40:25with the photo studio?
40:27I don't want to stay there.
40:29There's nothing there.
40:31It's boring.
40:32I want to work outside.
40:34What do you want to do?
40:36Just listen to me.
40:39I won't hurt you.
40:51Mom.
40:54Mom.
40:55You haven't recovered.
40:56Let me do it.
