 Synopsis
Decades ago, Fan Zhongnian left his wife and children, along with his hometown Liu Shu Hutong, filled with fear and sorrow. Over the years, he made a fortune in Hong Kong through small-scale production. To achieve greater development, he brought all his savings and hopes to America, planning to build a lifelong career and a happy home in this land full of dreams. However, fortunes changed unexpectedly; due to a small rat, Fan Zhongnian was accused by the relevant U.S. government authorities of deliberately harming endangered animals, leading to fines, the freezing of his land and bank assets. Overnight, his enormous wealth vanished; he lost not only his car and villa, but even basic food and shelter became problems. Fan Zhongnian returned to his long-lost hometown, but instead of being a comfort, his return added more unspeakable troubles to his already struggling children. The passage of years had turned the separation into a ticking time bomb. Years ago, his neighbor Kuang Youwei had falsely accused him, forcing him to leave home; now Kuang Youwei and his son-in-law Cai Heping believed that Fan Zhongnian had returned to America as a millionaire and devised various schemes to extort money from him. Cai Heping learned that Fan Zhongnian went bankrupt in the U.S., which infuriated him, leading to acts of revenge against Fan Zhongnian's family. Once again, Fan Zhongnian left the Fan family, and the intertwining of bitterness and illness made him realize that he had lost everything. He wandered the streets, hoping for death to release him. Alone and helpless, Lin Tongfang saved the critically ill Fan Zhongnian, and they decided to spend their twilight years together, supporting each other. Suddenly, fate took a turn; Fan Zhongnian's land in America was unfrozen, and a major company wanted to buy it at a high price in the millions. In the blink of an eye, Fan Zhongnian became a billionaire again, and the stories of tragedy and comedy unfolded once more in Liu Shu Hutong and the Fan family estate.
