Like Water for the Rest of My Life

An old house with the word "Demolish" engraved on it, and an ancient inkstone where you can hear the echo of time. 1935, Qingyi Town, "Hanfen Academy". The female teacher Shen Molan wears a moon-white cheongsam. In the era of clouds of war, she uses the philosophy of water to enlighten the minds of female students and protect a pure land of scholarship. Her husband Gu Shuyuan is running for his ideals, while she uses her flexible shoulders to carry the fate of her family, the academy and an adopted baby girl Lin Jingqiu. Three generations of women are connected by a river named "Yishui". When the bulldozers of modern society approached the city, Gu Xiaotang resolutely pressed the pause button.

This is an affectionate story about protection and inheritance, spanning hundreds of years, telling how women are like water, with the power of softness, galloping between the strong and the strong.
