Plot

The story highlights the strong bond the five Qiao siblings have with each other after their mother's death, leaving them alone with their selfish father. Life may take each of us in different directions, but the bond forged by the hardships all five siblings endured continues to be strong. Through more than 30 years of development and social change, the five children of the Qiao family: Yicheng, Erqiang, Sanli, Simei and Qiqi, have always supported and relied on each other during difficult times.[8][9]
