After Mid-Autumn, We Had a Home

About the story

On a rainy Mid-Autumn night, Meng Chunhong takes in the son and daughter her husband had with his former wife. The two cautious children, afraid to eat meat and even more afraid to make mistakes, only gradually gain the confidence of having a home under her devoted care. Twenty years later, the siblings buy a new home to repay their stepmother, but their biological mother arrives to challenge them. Faced with questions about the debt of birth and the debt of upbringing, they answer in a single sentence that reveals who, throughout those twenty years, was the one who never closed her door to them.
