A Family on Borrowed Time

After surrendering her home and savings for her daughter, Lin Xiulan is rewarded with a cramped balcony and a lifetime of unpaid labor. One cruel remark finally ends thirty years of devotion. She puts the apartment up for sale, watches her daughter claim a wealthy stranger as her father, and makes one secret phone call thirty years overdue. Xiulan leaves with no luggage, only the shattered remains of a lifetime of love.
