In 2003, Lily, who had been immigrating to the United States for five years, returned to Xindian from Los Angeles with her two daughters, Fangyi and Fang 'an, despite being diagnosed with breast cancer. She was reunited with her long-estranged husband, Zonghui. Fangyi was seriously lagging behind in her class due to her Chinese language barrier and was playfully called "American Girl" by her classmates. Rampaging, she felt powerless in the face of her mother's illness and longed most for a return to the United States. Lily, who was always worried that her cancer would worsen, couldn't forgive Fangyi's various rebellious behaviors, and the tension among family members was on the verge of breaking out. Under the pressure of cultural conflicts, economic issues, and diseases, the conflicts between Lily and Fangyi escalated steadily and reached their peak when their youngest daughter Fang 'an was quarantined in the hospital during the SARS period. Lily's family, which was on the verge of falling apart, was forced to confront the knots in their hearts due to an unexpected epidemic, and thus gained a chance to start anew.[Collapse]
