The film tells the story of ancient building restoration engineer Chen Wenyuan, who becomes skeptical and resistant to urbanization and modernization, deciding to resign and return to his hometown. His wife, a real estate designer, fiercely opposes Chen Wenyuan's plan to return home. At this time, Chen Wenyuan encounters his father at the construction site, discovering that the ancestral hall from his hometown, which is miles away, has also been brought to this location. Father and son rebuild the ancestral hall in a different place. However, the plaque, which is the soul of the ancestral hall, has been missing for a long time, and the father disappears without a word, shrouded in deep secrets. It isn't until Wenyuan's family returns home on his mother's memorial day that he finally understands his father's feelings for his mother, as well as the emotional pain his father does not want to confront. In the end, the Chen family's ancestral hall is perfectly rebuilt, but the rural China that he remembers is long gone.
