Warmwater Lane

In a small southern city in the 1990s, six members of the Wen family live on Wenjia Lane.

Their father, Wen Jianhua, is an assistant chief surgeon at an army hospital. He may seem stern, but he's warmhearted and dotes on his wife.

Their mother, Tang Yue, has cooked for her family every day for ten years. Sharp-tongued but softhearted, she favors her three daughters.

Of the four children, the eldest daughter is mature beyond her years, the second is bold and loyal, the third is sensitive and loves to write, and the youngest, a son, grows up mild-mannered under his three sisters' watchful eyes.

From the old lane to a new apartment, from black-and-white televisions to smartphones, they grow from innocent children into adults with families of their own.

People say three women make a whole show, and the Wen family's story has enough to fill a lifetime.

This is a story about growing up, making choices, and what it means to have a family.

No matter how far you go, someone will always be waiting for you to come home.
