This is a family saga spanning generations, following the changes in the lives and relationships of the Qi family after they move to Jinhua County in the early 1980s. The five Qi children each experience the pains and joys of growing up. They start families, build careers, and have children, gradually transforming the close-knit extended family into several more independent households.
As the times change, the Qi family faces all kinds of challenges and opportunities. Amid the mundane details of everyday life, they experience the tenderness and struggles of adoption and taking in relatives' children, fierce conflicts and reconciliation, and small acts of love that may seem insignificant but warm the heart and spread like wildfire. These moments flow together like streams joining a river, weaving the story of the Qi family's growth and prosperity.
Each character has their own dreams and ambitions, as well as unavoidable flaws and vulnerabilities. Tempered by life's hardships, they learn understanding, tolerance, and sacrifice. They gradually come to realize the true meaning of family: not the bonds of blood, but the deep affection that lets them rely on one another through every storm.
This is not only a chronicle of a family's growth, but also a tribute to an era of change. It shows how every small family is both insignificant and resilient in the tide of history. Each writes its own story in its own way, and together they build this colorful world.
