In the early spring of 1947, Lao Jiu, who lived by the Weihe River, married the concubine left behind by a Japanese military officer.
No one is optimistic about this marriage. But in those days, being able to survive was a matter of dignity.
That woman was well born. She gave birth to four children to Lao Jiu, and passed on her good looks, as well as her unexplainable fate - the eldest son was good-looking and capable, but died of alcoholism early; the second son had ideas, but was honest and responsible; the third son was beautiful, but always pursed his lips, making people think he was mean;
One generation after another. Life is life, death is death, marriage is marriage, marriage is marriage.
The little granddaughter heard from her father that her grandmother Zhang Yuxiang did not allow the video to be taken before she died because she was afraid that she would not look good and make her children feel distressed.
The riverbed of the Wei River is dry most of the time. But the locals all know that there is water underneath, flowing quietly. It's the same thing every day, even though it looks dry, it's still flowing underneath. Flow forward, pass forward.
Intention: They are all people with bad luck. Just because life is bad doesn't mean life is bad.
