Reborn in the 1970S: Forty Years of Sunshine

Female lead: Lin Suyun (70 before being reborn, 40 afterward) Before being reborn: She spent her whole life working herself to the bone. Strong-willed and sharp-tongued, she was softhearted underneath. Because of her misguided parenting and the limitations of the times, all three of her children grew up with regrets. Her eldest son’s blind filial piety ruined his marriage; her daughter sacrificed her future for the family and spent her life unhappy; her youngest son was spoiled rotten and accomplished nothing by middle age. After her husband died young, she grew lonely in her later years. Lying in her sickbed, she looked at her disappointing children and her empty home, her heart full of regret. After being reborn: She has the clarity and wisdom of a 70-year-old, and faces life with calm and composure. She no longer expresses her concern by shouting and scolding, but guides her children through her actions and gentle words. Her goals are clear: 1. Correct her three children’s character flaws and set them on the right path. 2. Improve her relationship with her husband and make him a true “partner in arms.” 3. Seize the opportunities of the times to lift her family out of poverty and achieve prosperity, both material and spiritual.
