Zhang Qiaoyun, who spent forty years revolving around her family, re-chose her way of living at life's crossroad. She gracefully said goodbye to the marriage that was draining her, and opened a soup restaurant with the housekeeping skills she honed over the years. Bowl after bowl of slow-simmered hot soup warmed the diners' stomachs and also built up her own career. Her children suddenly came to their senses, gathering by her side to face trials and tribulations together. Holding fast to her original heart and helping her neighbors, she bought a house of her own through steady and hard work, living to become her own and her family's pillar of support.
