Gu Heng died in a sudden car accident at the age of 28.
In the first half of his life, his parents passed away in a plane crash. He tore up the admission notice, dragged his three younger brothers and the youngest sister alone, and built a huge group from scratch. He spent ten years of hard work, but what he got in exchange was endless suspicion, alienation and resentment among his siblings. On the anniversary of their parents' death, the four of them deliberately avoided him. They didn't even want to sit at the same table with him, and their enthusiasm could not warm their four cold hearts.
When he closed his eyes, his only wish was to start over again and mend the broken family relationship.
When he opened his eyes again, he was seventeen years old again. It was still two years before the plane crash that took away his parents. His siblings were still young, and the tragedy had not yet been finalized. But he soon noticed something strange: the family was obviously stable and secure, but strong hostility grew for no reason in the hearts of his younger brothers and sisters. When they lost control of their emotions, their eyes were empty, as if there was an invisible thread of fate that deliberately amplified suspicion, tampered with memories, and forced them to hate each other.
Gu Heng did not want to follow the path of sacrifice and forcible binding in his previous life. He learned to communicate on an equal footing, slowly breaking down the estrangement, accompanying his younger brother to find love, and accompanying his younger sister to clarify their true feelings. In the quarrels and reconciliations, the five brothers and sisters gradually became aware of the invisible force that controlled everyone, and joined hands to fight against the tragic fate that had already been written.
They broke free from the shackles of silk threads, finally put aside all prejudices and resentments, and became a warm and happy family, making up for the regrets of their two lives. But no one knew that Gu Heng, who had been overstretched all year round, was already suffering from advanced lung cancer and only had a few months left.
In order to fulfill their younger sister Gu Wan's eighteenth birthday wish, the four siblings suppressed their grief and prepared a banquet, spending everything they had to make up for their debts.
The candles were lit and the room was full of laughter. It should have been the most grand coming-of-age ceremony for a girl.
The moment he blew out the candles, Gu Heng leaned on the sofa and quietly closed his eyes.
The fireworks in the world finally warmed up, and the brother who supported the whole family stayed forever on the birthday of the little sister.
Intent: Family love is a two-way street, not a one-sided self-sacrifice
