A rural father saves his three children living in the city in his own special way, but his good-hearted intervention only makes their lives more chaotic. The father's love drives him to selflessly give to his children time and again, resulting in a series of amusing yet heartbreaking emotional misalignments. The father quietly brushes past us, making us carry the label of unfilial grandchildren while feeling the warmth of family ties. This is both a hymn to familial love and a sharp knife dissecting our souls. A rural father has three children working in the city. To solve the difficult problems faced by his children, he enters the city, but his good intentions only complicate their lives further. He digs a well for his pregnant eldest son's wife to prevent contamination for the fetus, but ends up with polluted water; he uses many tricks to try to reconcile his daughter and son-in-law, who are on the brink of divorce, but this expedites their family breakdown; the process of helping his youngest son with marriage issues makes the entire family relationship a tangled mess. The father's love prompts him to selflessly give to his children again and again, resulting in a series of comical yet heartbreaking emotional mismatches. Each of the three children believes that one of them will always take care of their father, yet he repeatedly disappears right under their noses. Afterward, each child has their own justification for forgiving themselves, claiming that they are too busy with work and their emotions are in a tough spot. Thus, these children, who believe they are quite filial, let their father's emotional expectations slip by time and again. Whenever the father longs to communicate with his eldest son, a phone call always calls the son away, and the longest time they spend together is when the son, who is a police officer, needs his father to be an informant. The daughter, often preoccupied with her own unhappy love life, pays little attention to her father's feelings until, as a doctor, she starts to treat her healthy father like a patient, putting up a barrier to familial affection in the process. The youngest son exploits his father's blood ties, having him spend a lifetime of savings, and in his special line of work, he even has his father serve as a "dead man" while still alive. The father's sudden passing prompts the children to genuinely reflect on the love he once gave and realize that familial affection operates as a countdown clock, with every moment spent with their father irretrievably lost. Thus, the profound pain of wanting to be filial but having lost their parent brings them to tears...
