The film tells the story of ancient building reconstruction engineer Chen Wenyuan, who becomes skeptical and resistant to urbanization and modernization. He decides to resign and return to his hometown. His wife, a real estate designer, strongly opposes Chen Wenyuan's plan to return. At this time, Chen Wenyuan encounters his father at the construction site, discovering that their ancestral hall, which is thousands of miles away, has also been bought to this location. The father and son rebuild the ancestral hall in a different place. However, the plaque that embodies the soul of the ancestral hall has been missing, and the father leaves without saying a word. It is not until Wenyuan's family returns home on his mother's remembrance day that he understands his father's feelings for his mother and the inner pain his father has been unwilling to confront. In the end, the Chen family ancestral hall is perfectly rebuilt, but the rural China he remembers is gone forever.
