A mother who runs a braised-food stall has spent half her life working tirelessly, always planning for her son's future. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the two families are supposed to meet, her son, concerned about his reputation, refuses to acknowledge her in public. Afterwards, he even asks for her retirement savings to buy a house. After being repeatedly ignored and endlessly taken advantage of, the mother finally comes to her senses. She stops making endless compromises and sacrifices, protects her savings and the braised-food stall that provides her livelihood, and establishes clear boundaries with her family. With the companionship of neighbors and friends, she devotes herself to making the most of each day and takes firm control of the life ahead of her.
