We Survive Wind and Rain Together

In early summer on the southern coast, an unusually heavy rain swept through Jingzhou City, and also broke through the dam of Lin Hui's seemingly stable family. Lin Hui, a 38-year-old administrative specialist in a private enterprise, is struggling with the layoff crisis while supporting a family of seniors and young children on her own. Her husband Zhang Lei, who was once a "symbol of stability", fell into emotional avoidance due to frustration in promotion. Traces of ambiguity with female colleagues, such as lipstick marks and secret transfers, became the last straw that broke trust. When the heavy rain escalated into flooding throughout the city, the underground garage was flooded, and communications were interrupted. Lin Hui had to take her mother, two children, and her neighbor Grandma Zhou who lived alone to rescue herself in a desperate situation with no water or power. However, Zhang Lei was trapped in the flooded road to escort others, making the rift in the family even more glaring in the natural disaster. From the lack of materials in the temporary settlement to the dependence on life and death after the landslide, from the game of good and evil under the test of human nature to the mutual support during the transfer, this disaster has become the cruelest touchstone. Lin Hui uses her meticulousness and tenacity trained in administrative work to build a world among the survivors; Zhang Lei suddenly wakes up after witnessing the fragility of life, and uses clumsy actions to make up for his past debts; the sensitive daughter, the ignorant son, the wise Grandma Zhou, and the responsible boss Zhao Wei, everyone writes their own choices in the torrent. Li Na's sad departure did not fall into conventional criticism, but made the emotional complexity more real.
