The fate of ordinary people is always so small that it can be ignored in the face of the vigorous times. If an individual bravely stands up to stop the tide of the times, he is more or less like Don Quixote who rushed towards the windmill, and can only be a martyr. More often, individuals do not even have the right to choose to be a bystander. However, the tragedy of ordinary people can undoubtedly reflect the absurdity and cruelty of history. After the unconditional surrender of Japan in 1945, Taiwan was liberated. A family surnamed Lin in Keelung was about to live a good life, but man's plans are not as good as God's plans. The Lin family has been in constant ups and downs since then. After the "February 28" incident, the four brothers in the family were left with only the deaf-mute fourth brother Lin Wenqing (Tony Leung), who honestly opened a photo studio. However, the tragedy did not end there. Because of his connection with progressive people, Lin Wenqing could not escape the fate of being arrested. At this point, the only male in the Lin family left was Lin Wenqing and Wu Kuanmei's (Xin Shufen) infant - he was still in his cradle and babbling.
