The story takes Tianjin Haihe as the context and tells the persistence and inheritance of three generations of the Su family spanning a hundred years.
During the turbulent times of the Republic of China, Su Fengxian and Lin Jingyi opened the "Haihe Anchor" rescue station amid floods and wars, risking their lives to rescue thousands of victims and anti-Japanese comrades. They silently adhered to their conscience throughout their lives and did not seek fame. His son Su Zhenbang was on the verge of bankruptcy during the state-owned enterprise restructuring wave in the 1990s. He mortgaged his own house and his ancestral home to pay wages and severance pay for the workers. However, his family was separated and impoverished. Only in his later years did he understand his father's perseverance.
Granddaughter Su Xiaotang once resented her father and went to Beijing to pursue her dream. Later, she returned to her hometown to protect the Su family's old house. She resisted threats from developers and misunderstandings from neighbors, promoted the protective renewal of the old building, and built the "Haihe Anchor" historical memorial hall. She finally took root in Tianjin, focusing on the protection of old buildings and inheriting her family conscience and urban roots.
The tide of the times is surging, but the three generations have always kept the "anchor" in their hearts, guarded the memory of the city and the warmth of the world with conscience and responsibility, and interpreted the original intention of "anchor in the heart, home in Jinmen".
