Wang Guilan has lived at her daughter's home for six years. Her daughter and son-in-law have taken devoted care of her, while her son has barely checked on her for years and has shown no concern.

Torn between family affection and financial interests, Wang Guilan finally sees things clearly: only those who sincerely care for her deserve to be entrusted with her remaining years.
