Shen family parents favor their youngest son during family property division, leaving all assets to the younger son while forcing the eldest son and his wife to shoulder the heavy burden of supporting them in old age. Everyone ridicules the eldest son for being too honest and suffering a raw deal for nothing. Yet no one expects that he has already prepared to go far away from home. On the surface, he fights for nothing and chooses to concede, but in reality, he soberly detaches himself from the quagmire of his original family. He forces the younger brother, who has always enjoyed the fruits of others' labor, to take up responsibility, and the family learns to grow through gains and losses, ultimately rushing toward their respective lives.
