Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In Tangshan, the truck driver Da Qiang, his wife Yuan Ni and their twins Fang Da, their son, and Fang Deng, their daughter, are a happy simple family. On 27 July 1976, a devastating earthquake destroys Tangshan, and Da Qiang dies while trying to rescue his children from their apartment. When a collapsed beam traps Fang Da and Fang Deng, Yuan Ni is forced to decide between saving her son or daughter and she chooses Fang Da. However, her daughter Fang Deng overhears her mother's choice and miraculously survives. She is rescued by a soldier and adopted by Mr. Wang and his wife with the name Wang Deng. Thirty-two years later, after an earthquake in China, Wang Deng, now married to a Canadian lawyer and living in Vancouver with her daughter, travels to China and voluntarily joins the rescue team. By chance she meets Fang Da and she learns the drama of Yuan Ni through all those years. The family is finally reunited at Yuan Ni's home, where bitterness is exposed and resolved.

| Quotes |
Li Yuanni:
Daqiang, Fang Deng, don't mind me being annoying. Every year when burning paper offerings, we've been talking to you both. We've moved. If you want to come back, don't go the wrong way, ok? Our alleyway is next to the railway school. At the first row of houses, turn left. The first one is our home. Remember that! Where we used to live, they're building a department mall. So we can't move back there. Fang Da: Mom, dad and elder sis have already been dead for ten years. How could they still come back? I feel spooked hearing you keep saying such things. Li Yuanni: I've no idea how to tell your dad and elder sis... I was so looking forward to the day of your college entrance exam. Yet you didn't even bother stepping into the exam hall. Why can't you be more sensible? You made me feel so disappointed. Fang Da: [surly] Disappointed... If you had known, you should have saved elder sis instead, shouldn't you? See more » |
