Chronicles of the Zhou Family

A family history spanning hundreds of years Shanghai at the beginning of the 20th century was a paradise for adventurers and a stage where dreams and suffering intertwined. In this bustling city, the four brothers and sisters of the Zhou family are like four bright stars, shining individually and embarking on completely different but closely connected life trajectories. The eldest brother Zhou Shutang and his childhood sweetheart Song Shiwei, the daughter of a banker, relied on their family heritage to join hands with the couple to run the Zhou family silk and satin shop smoothly; the second brother Zhou Jintang and actress Shen Manting used movies as weapons to save the country during the Anti-Japanese War. After the war, they worked together to build a film empire spanning the mainland and Hong Kong, promoting cultural exchanges between the two places. The third brother, Zhou Baitang, returned from studying abroad and joined the Whampoa Military Academy without telling his family. He became a pilot and died in the war. His confidante Su Qing devoted himself to education and never married. The younger sister, Zhou Yuntang, fell in love with Fu Sinian when she was studying in Germany. After returning to China, she devoted herself to women's legal rights protection and founded the Women's Legal Aid Center. Fu Sinian created and translated "Chronicles of the Zhou Family" and spread the story of the Zhou family overseas. From the last century to the new century, the four brothers and sisters of the Zhou family have each shown their strengths in the wave of the times, casting the family's glory and mission into the mark of the times. The spark-like spirit is passed down from generation to generation, and the descendants continue to write legends in different worlds. This family narrative that spans time and space is not only a continuation of the bloodline, but also a witness to the backbone of the times, playing eternal music deep in the years.
