Love Across Time and Space

On the eve of the liberation of a certain city in the south of the Yangtze River, Tang Guozhong, a member of the city's amateur basketball team who was in his first year of high school, was kidnapped and taken to Taiwan. Several years after retiring, he couldn't bear the pain of missing his parents. He took a leave of absence to visit his children in the United States because of his bad mood after the death of his wife. He decided to take a detour to visit his parents and siblings. Unexpectedly, he set foot on the site of his hometown and heard that his father had died early and that his mother, who missed him every day, said he had "dementia" and was unable to take care of himself. He eagerly came to his old mother's bedroom and saw that the old man's face was sallow, his eyelids were ulcerated, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were ragged. He couldn't help but feel sad. He knelt down in front of his mother and cried bitterly. While crying, he blamed himself for coming back too late. He was unfaithful and unfilial. However, the mother was "indifferent", as if she didn't know that this eldest son existed in the world and had already arrived in front of her. Tang Guozhong couldn't understand that this was the home of his second brother who had made a fortune by running a passenger transport company. The old house had been renovated and converted into a high-rise unit. In addition to the living room and dining room on the first floor, the upstairs was for the six children, married or not. Each of them had two apartments with three bedrooms and one living room. The decoration was all high-end. His mother lived in the room of her little niece who had failed the college entrance examination and was preparing to take the exam again this year. Why was it so miserable? After being introduced by his niece Jiaojiao, Tang Guozhong got the general idea. He decided to use his actions to warm his mother's heart. However, from then on, there were disagreements with the second brother and the couple about how to take care of their mother's old age, and later developed into an irreconcilable conflict. The old mother gradually recovered under Tang Guozhong's careful care and Jiaojiao's cooperation. She did not have dementia in the first place, but was made angry by her second son and his wife. By chance, he and Jiaojiao went to the telecommunications business office to call the provincial newspaper and inquire about the whereabouts of wintersweet. He heard from his mother that after graduating from Lamei University, he was assigned to work as a reporter for a provincial newspaper. People have asked about it, but their whereabouts are unknown. When he came back, he passed by a coffee shop. Tang Guozhong took Jiaojiao in to have a cup of coffee to relieve his disappointment. However, he accidentally met Lamei, who was his female classmate and lover for three years of junior high school and one year of high school. At this moment, she was serving as a waiter delivering coffee and snacks to meet Tang. But when Tang called her by her nickname and expressed his gratitude for meeting her by chance, she said that he had recognized the wrong person and was sorry, and turned around and left. When Tang Guozhong answered a few questions from Jiaojiao and then went to look for wintersweet, she was nowhere to be seen. I asked the manager and the answer was that he had resigned and left. Asked her address again, the answer was that she didn't know. Tang Guozhong took the risk this time and came back with the idea of ​​looking for wintersweet. How could he be dismissed so easily by the manager. From then on, he went there every night and taught the manager how to cook specialty coffee from all over the world for free, so that the manager got to know him, and one night he took Tang Guozhong and Jiaojiao to meet his mother, Lamei, in order to make Tang and his mother happy at sunset. This was what his father had asked him to do before his death. Unexpectedly, Tang and Lamei met and recognized each other, and during the conversation, they won the favor of Mei's unmarried daughter Xiaoming. Lamei came from the provincial capital this time to tell her children that she was going to marry an old colleague...
