Intelligent AI and new culture are booming in Xingyang, Yunnan. Lin Jiu, a media person who returns home for a funeral, unintentionally gets involved in a dispute over the succession of Lin's oil-paper umbrella. Her father committed suicide three years ago, and she originally wanted to take this opportunity to bring her mother Yao Fang to settle in a big city, away from the oppression and disputes of the Lin family, but her mother is persistent and unwilling to give up her half-life craftsmanship.
Lin Jiu returned alone, but was notified of being laid off on the way back. When he was frustrated, he met photographer and documentary director Huo Zhengkai, who concealed his identity as the third generation of rich people and was determined to travel around the country. The two hit it off and decided to cooperate, using Xingyang oil-paper umbrella as the key and Lin Jiu's mother Yao Fang as the representative, to create a traditional female cultural brand - One Umbrella Red General.
The three of them joined hands to tear down many old customary barriers such as "passing down craftsmanship from male to female" and "passing down the whole but not the missing". They regained the power of women amidst many obstacles and exchanged the cultural value of Xingyang oil-paper umbrellas for economic value, which then contributed to the inheritance and protection of oil-paper umbrellas.
