创作阐述

To understand life, one must often look backward; but to live well, one must be brave enough to look forward.

故事大纲

Returning to her homeland after many years abroad, April realizes that her long-divorced parents are still inextricably linked to each other. April can't forget her father Yongtang's infidelity and the harm he did to her family and mother. The old street herbal tea store is facing demolition and April insists on taking her mother abroad to live with her. Mother Qiaozhen wants to keep running the store for herself. Her father, who had been kicked out by her mistress and was destitute, still had Qiao Zhen and her daughter in his heart. In his twilight years, he quietly helped Qiao Zhen raise the money to reopen the store, but while trying his best to do so, he unfortunately passed away in a scam. In the process, April gradually understands the struggles, trials, and deep-seated love of Mother, and truly lets go of her grudge against Mother, and walks into the future with an open mind.
