Synopsis

In the winter of 1980, Chen Fangde sold his wife Lin Wanfang’s dowry to gamble, then tried to sell their newborn son.

Their eldest son, ten-year-old Chen Feihong, braved the snow and wind to rescue his little brother, only to nearly be beaten to death by their father. After their mother took a potentially fatal blow for him, she could take no more. That very night, she fled Xiaowan Village with all four Chen siblings and made a living on her own in Taoyuan County.

From the windmills in Taoyuan County’s wheat fields to the universities in the provincial capital;

From being mocked as fatherless children to becoming a teacher at the front of a classroom, a business owner in Shenzhen, and the founder of a special education school...

The four Chen siblings were scattered by fate, yet bound together by blood.

In 2018, the eldest brother Chen Feihong’s son, once called “a child of the stars,” received his university admission letter.

Their mother, Lin Wanfang, smiled as she looked at him, the snow from thirty-eight years ago reflected in her tear-bright eyes.

This is a family story without a father, yet filled with everything about mothers, love, and legacy. It tells us a timeless truth: love and responsibility are passed down from one generation to the next!
