Retired teacher Tang Huilan, after her daughter-in-law smashed her camera, finally sees clearly that her nearly one million subsidies to the whole family only exchanged for taken-for-granted demands. She takes back her financial power, stops supplementary cards and mortgage transfers, and uses her pension to buy herself a new camera—not for anyone, but for the thing she loves herself. From kneeling in the rainy night to take candid photos of sanitation worker couples, to her work being published in City Witness, and then to equal cooperation with chief judge Gu Yuanshan and independently stepping onto the photography mountain path, Tang Huilan step by step shakes off the invisible shackles of being a good mother-in-law and a good mother, taking back her remaining life from living for others to living for herself.
