Ping, a woman with a simple name but a tumultuous destiny. She is a bright star in the sky of Chinese contemporary art. With her unbridled imagination, profound human compassion and pioneering exploration of art history, she is internationally renowned and attracts countless admiring glances. However, under the dazzling aura, the mark that was branded on the root of her life never faded throughout her life - "Shanghai Orphan".
Who would have thought? Who dares to imagine? When the veil of fate was suddenly torn apart, the truth revealed was like a thunder that pierced the sky: the mother she had spent her whole life searching for was actually the four daughters who ended up at the knees of Emperor Hirohito of Japan! A shocking secret that is kept secret within the strict walls of the royal family.
"Mother..." This word, to ordinary people, is a scar that will never scab on the heart, and a lonely light deep in the soul that will never go out. What stood between her and her mother were the iron walls of the royal family and layers of taboos. Like a moth to a flame, she devoted everything she had to traveling to Japan five times. Every time, the flame of hope is clearly extinguished in the cold wind, leaving only ashes in the end. My mother's face always seemed to be separated by a layer of impenetrable thick fog, on the other side of the water, out of reach.
What she asked for was heartbreakingly humble:
It was just a distant meeting when my mother was still alive in the morning and dusk.
She just used all her strength to embrace the embrace that gave her life but had never met before, and printed a kiss from her daughter who was more than half a century late on that old cheek.
