Storyline

The film is based on a true story. In the 1970s, Zang Jianhe, a woman from Qingdao, was forced to leave her hometown with her two daughters. To make ends meet and raise her children, she washed dishes by day and cleaned cars by night. With no one to rely on, she bore the immense pressure alone. Determined to break free from her fate, Zang Jianhe decided to make a living by selling dumplings. From struggling to attract customers to eventually thriving, she received much support from tough- but-kind Hong Jie, Brother Hua, and Uncle Dessert. Through perseverance, she grew her dumpling business into a success, and her life gradually opened up to new possibilities...
