Hai Ling is my sister, not a biological sister, but a sister from two parents. My biological mother passed away a long time ago, and my father wanted to make this family more like a family. He married my stepmother, and I had a mother, and later a younger sister. This family is more complete. Dad has a wife, I have a mother, and a smart and lovely little sister.
My stepmother loved me very much. I was born to study, and I excelled all the way from elementary school to university. My family is in a remote mountain village, poor in the mountains and rivers, with a meager income, and struggling to make ends meet. However, my father met with an accident and died unexpectedly. My stepmother was already heavily in debt just to support my education.
The younger sister Hai Ling is smart, a top student, and has been admitted to her favorite university. Her stepmother cannot afford to send her to school, so she is asked to help her stepmother support her shaky home. Hai Ling collapsed immediately, gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes, and left the poor and backward mountain village.
Twenty-eight years later, across thousands of mountains and rivers, I returned to my dreaming hometown. Things change, people change, regret, loss, anger, and redemption are all intertwined. Trying to use simple words to interpret the rich, delicate and complex emotional waves of a rebellious woman.
I miss my stepmother the way a mother misses her daughter after Hai Ling ran away from home. A stepmother's love is selfless, painful, and lonely. She turned her longing for her biological daughter into lines of bitter tears.
The story is not long, but it strives to be full of emotions, the plot is not tortuous, and it can make you feel like a dream and make you mesmerized.
Concept: Interpret the multi-perspective emotions of mother and daughter from multiple angles
