In the 1970s, Tong Lin, who had been single because he was mute, picked up a baby girl at his doorstep. Although he could not speak but was kind-hearted, he adopted the baby girl and named her "A Mei". Because of A Mei, Tong Lin was squeezed out by his sister Tong Yan and gave up his job and house. He took A Mei out to rent a house and made a living collecting rags, raising A Mei alone with his meager income.
The happiest time for father and daughter every day is when Tong Lin plays the old musical instruments collected for A Mei. This is also Tong Lin's happiest moment. During the high school entrance examination, the teacher persuaded Ami to apply for the Music High School, but due to the high tuition fees, Ami could not bear to burden her father anymore and rejected the teacher. After Tong Lin learned about it, he wholeheartedly considered A Mei's future and signed up for A Mei. He secretly worked a few more jobs. However, Tong Lin suffered from cancer due to years of hard work. A Mei sang "If the wine is dry and sells nothing" for her father Tong Lin with deep gratitude.
