In the turbulent era of the Republic of China, "The Sunset in the Old Alley" is like a sad song of fate.
Puyu, a poor girl, has no choice but to become a waitress in a restaurant in order to support her blind husband and young son.
As fate would have it, she meets the affectionate young master Jingyu. Love comes quietly, but she struggles painfully between friendship and love.
The blind husband ran away, the lover parted far away, and the ensuing blows made her fall into the world of love and lose her beloved son.
After finally escaping from danger, he reunited with Jing Yu, and when they were about to get married, the blind husband suddenly appeared again.
This tortuous story is not only the tragedy of Puyu's life, but also shows the various secular aspects of Tianjin during the Republic of China, which is moving and full of emotions.
