After a famous local anti-Japanese hero died, his daughter Shuixiu was adopted. When Shui Xiu was 16 years old, she met Li Jian, an underground member of the Communist Party of China who was knowledgeable and firm in faith. Under Li Jian's care and training, Shui Xiu gradually matured, and she also developed a deep love for Li Jian. Later, due to betrayal by a traitor, Li Jian was arrested and sacrificed.
Shuixiu's adoptive father was a speculator. He promised to marry her to Li Jian, but secretly sold her to drug addict Yang Zhixian.
Yang Zhixian died in an accident, and there was another flood. Shuixiu lost her home and began to wander around.
While on the run, Shi Fuxiang took her in.
Shi Fuxiang treated Shui Xiu's daughter Wen Xiu as if he were his own. They lived a happy life and gave birth to their daughter Xuelian.
Just when Shui Xiu thought she could live a peaceful and happy life in the future, she was constantly pestered by Shi Lao Wu, a gangster from the same village. Shui Xiu's eldest daughter Wen Xiu was also killed by the gangster. Shi Fuxiang was framed and arrested by the gangster. The gangster took the opportunity to taint Shui Xiu...
Later, the scoundrel died, and Shuixiu should have lived peacefully. However, her daughter Xuelian learned from the scoundrel that Shuixiu had lost her virginity, and could not forgive her mother, so she ran away from home. She was later taken in, studied hard, and was admitted to university.
During school, Xuelian was almost raped by a gangster on her way back to the dormitory from a night study session. The same experience made her understand her mother's difficulties and forgave her mother. She hurriedly went home to visit her mother. After arriving home, she learned that Shuixiu had died of mental illness due to longing for her daughter. After seeing the diary left by my mother, I learned about my mother's miserable life!
