[Period] [Reborn] [Farming] [Ensemble Cast] [Everyday Family Life]
On New Year’s Day, a story about ninety-year-old Zhang Cuifen freezing to death outside her own son’s home on New Year’s Eve goes viral.
No one can understand why an old woman who should have been enjoying her family’s company would freeze to death on New Year’s Eve.
Her son, who left his own mother locked outside, breaks down in tears under the public’s condemnation, repeatedly insisting he has been wronged.
Before long, resourceful internet users dig up every detail of Zhang Cuifen’s unremarkable life.
People scrutinize the evidence, determined to get to the bottom of this human tragedy.
Was she an uncaring mother, or was he an unfilial son?
But when Zhang Cuifen, reborn in the 1980s, sees her two sons and three daughters gathered around her once more, her eyes, clouded for a lifetime, finally shine…
The whole thing is very somber. Too much negativity. It basically describes everyone in my family and friends… In the 1980s, in the countryside, the bride price was 1200 yuan. In the 1970s, it was 800 yuan. A teacher's monthly salary was 200 yuan. Food expenses for three children were 100 yuan a month. In the 1980s, eating breakfast on the street was called "drinking morning tea." It was an era when ration coupons were required. Could people really drink morning tea freely now?
Bai was reborn.
