In the film, Song Zhi had three sons and one daughter after marriage, and adopted one of the boys to his brother and sister-in-law. Unlike the elders in the family, Song Zhi loved his youngest daughter the most. Song Zhi worked diligently, planting and harvesting in the village during the busy farming season, and going to the city to trade during the slack season. Whether the goods sank in the river or were robbed by bandits, Song Zhi would lose his appetite and toss and turn, working on compensation plans all night. For the sake of his family, Song Zhi has exhausted all his efforts, and the person who wanted to follow another man to an unknown city for freedom, dignity and other illusory words seems to have disappeared.
However, the audience knows that there is no such thing - occasionally, Song Zhi would wear the gold ring and go to the church to listen to foreigners talk about their ideas.
After the fourth child was born, the eldest nephew was finally released from prison, but he was ill and it was difficult for him to get married. The Song family believed that once the person came back, he would be fine and his health could be recovered.
On the surface, the "Song family" was gradually getting better. Looking at everything, Song Zhi's mother felt that she was still a qualified daughter-in-law of the Song family.
In addition to raising his own family, Song Zhi also moved the graves of his grandfather and father in a grand manner. The ceremony was very elaborate, with all the descendants kneeling down to kowtow to their ancestors and show the flourishing of the Song family. They believed that the souls of their ancestors would be pleased in heaven.
