Synopsis

In the early 1920s, when the warlords were ruling the country and people were living in poverty, the family of a young man, Shen Qinan, is suddenly struck by an unexpected disaster.

His father was killed in a smuggling conspiracy, his mother died during her escape, and the four siblings are separated after a treacherous escape to Shanghai.

Years later, the four siblings reunited after a lot of hardships.

In a time of turmoil, and internal and external troubles, Shen Qinan grew up in desperation. Under the influence of love and faith, he became a famous constructor of the Shanghai Bund.

During the brief period of Shanghai's great development, on the banks of the Huangpu River, Shen Qinan put his craftsmanship and the people first.

He worked tirelessly to transform the living environment of the shantytowns and dedicated himself to building low-cost housing.

He was determined to build strong and warm homes for the common people who were suffering from war.

When the war against Japan began, Shen Qinan uncovered the problem of jerry-building in the military fortifications and prevented further casualties in the war.

At the same time, he finally uncovered the truth about his father's smuggling case and clears his name.
