The Children of Lijialou

Taking Xintai, Shandong from the 20th year of the Republic of China to 1972 as the background of time and space, it revolves around the scholarly family of Lijialou in Yangliu Town. It tells the story of the eldest daughter Li Xiulan's perseverance under the oppression of the old ethics, the eldest son Li Xiuxiang who left home in pursuit of justice and light, and the ups and downs of the second son Li Xiuquan's greed and arrogance that led to family tragedy. Taking the emotional entanglement of father and daughter, siblings, and husband and wife as the context, it connects the survival dilemma of women in the old era, the good and evil persistence of the people at the bottom, and the individual choices in the turmoil of the family and country. It finally ends with the sky burning the building and the ashes returning to the dust. It tells the story of the grievances, sorrows, and joys of the century-old family and the fateful reincarnation of good and evil.
