In 1960, Shen Shijun saw news about mainland China at his home in a suburban Los Angeles villa, and he thought of Gu Manzhen. However, for the sake of his children, he had already reluctantly burned Manzhen's photos, and watched with tears as Manzhen's photos slowly turned into ashes in the firelight.
By this time, Zhu Hongcai had died in prison. Zhu Hongcai was able to see clearly the development of the commodity economy, but failed to see clearly the dark and complex side of the world.
Gu Manzhen has been living a difficult life alone with her children, enduring hardship and poverty.
Half a century has passed in the blink of an eye.
A Chinese-American named Shen Yinan was dispatched by the head office to the Shanghai branch as general manager. A beautiful Shanghai female colleague named Zhu Shuxin in the company caught his attention. It turns out that Shen Yinan's grandfather is Shen Shijun, and Shen Yinan looks very much like his grandfather, and Zhu Shuxin also looks like her grandmother. Neither of them knew the story of their grandparents. Shen Yinan only heard that this beautiful female subordinate's mother's family lived in an old villa in Luwan.
