In the troubled times of the Republic of China, Chen Muhe, an apprentice of a Hakka wood carver, went to Nanyang to make a living. In the troubled times and in isolation, he fell in love with his aunt Chen Wanshu across the line of ethics, and his illegitimate daughter Chen Qingmei was born in a foreign land. After the war subsided and returned to China, Chen Muhe forbeared to abandon his beloved because of the dignity of his clan, concealed his daughter's life experience, and falsely claimed that she was an orphan in troubled times.
Qingmei grew up in the secluded ancient house of Weilong. She has been humble and tolerant throughout her life, abiding by etiquette and law. She received a modern education, but she has always lived in cold eyes and secret rumors. She met Su Yanqiu, a gentle and pure volunteer teacher, and was able to glimpse the glimmer of the human world. She was ignorant of her heartbeat, and died due to a congenital disease.
As old events are revealed, Qingmei learns that she is the stain of her father's forbidden affair. She has been innocent all her life, but she was born to bear the original sin. Family ties are cold, love is cut off, worldly prejudices are crushing, and ethics and education are shackles. There is no one to save and no way to escape.
The innocent and kind-hearted girl was finally destroyed by the dignity and secrets of the old era, and her youth died young. Lin Wanshu, who had been wandering in Southeast Asia for half her life, returned home late at night, only to meet with a bleak funeral. The hundred-year-old dragon still stands tall, and the love, hate, sin, regret, joy and sorrow of the two generations have all finally passed away.
Concept: 1. The ultimate fate BE aesthetics: Everyone is unhappy, good people have no luck, gentleness is crushed, innocence is burdened with guilt, the tragedy is delicate, and the stamina is huge. 2. The research is authentic and rich: restoring the Hakka clan rules, the ecology of the deep house around the dragon house, the development of Hakka wood carving, and the ups and downs of Nanyang expatriates in troubled times, with a strong sense of atmosphere. 3. The plot of a closed loop of cause and effect: if the parents cross the line with one thought, the children will be buried with them for the rest of their lives, and the reincarnation of fate is locked layer by layer. The plot is compact and the emotions are progressive and full. 4. The tragic concept of the group portrait: there is no absolute villain, all members are victims of the times and etiquette. The pattern is profound and far beyond ordinary house fighting and sadomasochism.
