During the construction of New China in the 1960s, it was a special era when supplies were scarce but full of hope.
Tian Tian is the daughter that the Tian family has been waiting for for seven generations. She was born in a time of famine, but she was doted on by the whole family and became a treasure. The seven brothers, from oldest to youngest, formed an airtight wall to keep out all the wind and rain in the world.
Everyone says that the little daughter of the Tian family has a good life, but they don't know that her "luck" is that she secretly hides wild vegetable dumplings in the middle of the night to save for her brothers, uses crayons to draw "family letters" for illiterate neighbors, and gives all the oil stars in her bowl to her mother who is coughing up blood.

- From the little group favorite who is cared for by the whole family to the little adult who takes the initiative to share the family's worries, it shows the early wisdom and responsibility of children in special times.
