Zhou Xiulan, who bought a river-view apartment using her husband's work-related death compensation and half a lifetime of savings, was pressured by her son and daughter-in-law to vacate the house for her daughter-in-law's mother. Resolute, she sold the house, moved away, and won a lawsuit to defend her rights. She practiced Tai Chi and learned calligraphy, living out her true self; through setbacks, her son matured, and mother and son reconciled. Ultimately, with the clarity that 'peace of mind is home,' she reaped a stable and poised old age.
