Synopsis

Fragrant grass fills the courtyard as swallows flit past; in the cool evening, rain falls upon the parasol trees.

In her later years, Wutong looks back on this life. Orphaned young, she lived with her maternal relatives, and it was only thanks to her wet nurse’s support that she grew up, stumbling through hardship. At fifteen, with no choice in the matter, she became the second wife of her eldest cousin’s husband. Her life rose and fell, bringing both joy and sorrow; she had fought, and she had given up…

In her old age, she lowers her eyes to the grandchild resting peacefully in the crook of her arm, and Wutong smiles.
