Shikumen's Daughter

In 1947, at No. 64 Wanzhu Street, Shanghai, Shen Yuru lost her husband on her wedding night and was slandered by her mother-in-law for seducing her brother-in-law. She knelt on the snowy night until dawn with her full-month daughter in her arms. With a bowl of wontons, a lame old man, and a six-square-meter attic, she gritted her teeth and survived. Six years later, her husband "resurrected" but vomited blood in the street and asked, "Whose child is this?" The shocking conspiracy set up by the mother-in-law, the grudges and entanglements between two generations, and the storms of Shanghai for half a century—— She repaid evil with kindness, but got a fatal blow in return. It wasn't until the day my daughter was admitted to Fudan University that the truth finally emerged. Fifty years of grievances, Shanghai's past in a bowl of wontons.
