Synopsis
The life of middle-aged woman Zhang Chunmei may seem perfect to outsiders.
Her son has been admitted to a prestigious university with excellent grades.
Her husband is a professor and a doctoral supervisor, successful in his career.
She herself is deputy editor-in-chief at a magazine and is likely to be promoted.
She has a house, a car, and savings. However, in reality, only Chunmei knows the bitterness she experiences.
Middle age arrives unexpectedly, bringing along a crisis. Her husband, Weiqiang, goes missing.
Chunmei examines various clues and concludes that Weiqiang is having an affair. However, when Weiqiang finally seems to have a change of heart and returns home, he asks Chunmei for a divorce.
Of course, this is not the only crisis of middle age. When numerous difficulties come crashing down on Chunmei, she begins to contemplate how to cope with the pressures of work and family in the face of life's challenges and how to face aging with equanimity.
