Plot: In the early 1940s, the father went to Nanyang and there was no news. The mother raised her son with great hardship. By accident, when the son knocked on the Yingge mallet left by his father, he mistakenly entered an illusory time and space. He understood his father’s righteousness for the country and family, untied his mother’s heart knot, and also gained insights and grew in the process. The three rivers flow into the sea, and a letter returns with the tide. The inherited bloodline cannot be stopped by waves or dispersed by wind!
