Shen Rulan, a model worker in a cotton spinning mill, worked hard all her life without complaining, depleting her youth and blood for her family. She gave up her job to her husband's lover and poured her savings into her husband's family, which was like a bottomless pit. What she got in exchange was the betrayal of her husband Wang Dagui, the oppression of her parents-in-law, and the indifference and abandonment of her five children. When she was seriously ill and dying, her most filial eldest son sold a kidney to save her and died of infection. Her eldest daughter's legs were broken to raise medical expenses, but her youngest sons who she loved most were only thinking about her last property. In the show off between her husband and a third party, Shen Rulan passed away with regret.
