At the beginning of the story, Aunt Yao's husband was about to be punished by the factory director and fell to work in the warehouse. Seeing the warehouse will reduce his salary a lot. Aunt Yao, who was pregnant at that time, had no choice but to beg outside the factory with her five children, even at the expense of beating her stomach, which led to premature birth and saved her husband's job. This picture is really shocking, but the plot is also very realistic. Being a mother is just the best portrayal. If there were any other way, Aunt Yao wouldn't gamble her life.
Then the story mainly describes how Aunt Yao struggled to take care of the children and was constantly angry with her husband, but she didn't complain at all, only shed tears silently. Because she knows that she is the only pillar of this broken family, and there are seven young children under her wings. She must not fall down. In the face of all the difficulties and grievances that happened in front of her, whether she cried or collapsed, she had to bite the bullet and go on. She has no way out, so she can only move on. This design is also very close to the background at that time. At that time, in the old society, men were superior to women, and they had to carry on no matter how hard they suffered. If they get divorced and remarry with their children, they will be scolded for life.
After that, the story line became more complicated, and the children grew up and had their own ideas. At the beginning of social reform and opening up, children's rebellion was intertwined with the frenzy of reform and opening up, and a big family swayed in the wind and rain. Seven children face the impact of the outside world. Some of them are enthusiastic and some are calm. The story here is a highlight. Miscellaneous, chaotic and secret are the biggest characteristics, but the details of such a huge story line still stand up to scrutiny and are surprisingly meticulous.
The plot design of this drama is really almost perfect, which logically conforms to the big framework of the old society in the 1970s, and the people are the best portrayal. It is not easy to be a mother, nor is it easy to be a wife. There are no bugs inside and outside the family, which perfectly explains the appropriate response that a strong mother should make in the face of various crises. It is strongly recommended that you watch every episode and don't fast forward. Really, the plot design is super perfect.
