The Single Mother Aunt

This is a heartfelt, deeply moving work of realist family drama that speaks straight to the heart.

The three Lei siblings, Dong, Fang, and Hong, endure tragedy from a young age: their mother is abducted, and their father dies far from home. When they are left alone with no one to rely on, their aunt takes them into her arms without hesitation and treats them as her own. But misfortune strikes again. Not long afterward, their uncle dies in an accident while away seeking work, leaving the family with no one else to turn to. In their precarious circumstances, the entire burden of raising the three siblings falls on their aunt alone.

Faced with the hardships and burdens of life, their aunt never backs down or utters a single complaint. With her frail body, she shoulders the whole family, raising the three siblings through countless hardships and supporting their education until they grow up and each finds a bright future. This ordinary yet remarkable woman is honored by her neighbors as "the most beautiful aunt in history."
