Zou Yuanqing has lived with her grandparents since she was a child, and she longs for her mother's company, but her mother is always alone. Every time she stretched out her little hand and tried to grab the corner of her mother's clothes, her mother turned away apologetically. Zou Yuanqing doesn't understand why the children on TV can get kisses from their mothers, but she can only be forgotten at home. 
Once again, Mom returns home with the success of her career, ready to share the joy with Dad. But Xiao Zou Yuanqing knew that this meant that his mother was leaving her again. Sure enough, when Dad took a strong stance against it, a quarrel broke out. Zou Yuanqing hid behind the stairs in fear, covering his ears and not daring to make a sound. This time, Dad left without looking back. Mom hugged her and cried bitterly, but she didn't say a word. 
After that, Zou Yuanqing lived a life dependent on his mother. Mom was no longer in the mood to laugh, and Zou Yuanqing could hear her sobbing softly in the middle of the night. The guilty mother gave her all the love, but the little girl in her heart who longed for home was gone. When Zou Yuanqing was admitted to Chinese opera, his mother was ecstatic. She can finally give this daughter who grew up in her arms a bright tomorrow. Even though she was physically and mentally exhausted, she still mustered up the last momentum and ran around to fight for Zou Yuanqing's chance. 
Soon, a movie character called "Secret Fruit" was handed to Zou Yuanqing. Being able to compete with many powerful actors on the same stage is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. Mom happily prepares makeup tools and costumes and looks forward to her daughter in front of the camera. However, when the movie was released, the score was pitifully low. Everyone found that there was not much time for the small characters to appear, but a trace of blunt performance could be vaguely seen. 
The mother was not discouraged, and took her daughter to star in the comedy "I Am Your Mother". They are constantly adjusting their state and figuring out how to work for each other. It's a pity that the audience's feedback is still mediocre, except for ridiculing the strange title and routine plot, no one will stop at the performance of the rookie actors. Mom realized in despair that relying on her alone to hold up the sky behind her could not make Zou Yuanqing really soar in this sky. 
A few years later, Zou Yuanqing finally appeared again in a new work. This time it was a quiet rural setting, and her mother reminded her of the simple manners of the village women. However, the audience is soon surprised to find that this girl from the city is not able to fit into her character at all - the urban accent in the discourse, the subtle management of expressions, are all reminding everyone that she is an outsider. 
Just when the mother is anxious about her daughter's performance, a new opportunity arises. This time, she followed the group throughout the whole process and did not miss any detail. Under the guidance of his mother, Zou Yuanqing constantly adjusted his every move like a game. However, when the film was released, reviews remained polarized. Some people praise the girl's determination to strive for change, while more people think that this kind of blunt "show" is unbearable. 
Mom covered her mouth with her hands, tears rolling in her eyes. She couldn't believe that even though she had tried her best, her daughter still couldn't gain a foothold in the film industry. She can obviously choose the stage where she shines, but she has to follow her daughter in the barren wilderness. Did she regret her decision?She shook her head wearily, determined to continue the long journey. 
When the well-known director publicly commented that Zou Yuanqing "needs to break the external shell", his mother finally broke down and cried. All the while, she tried to wrap her daughter with her own warmth, but forgot that her daughter needs to grow up in the wind and frost. Zou Yuanqing finally realized that it is not enough to rely on his mother's blessing, every expression and action of his own should come from the true feelings of his heart. 
So, on the way to start anew, the mother and daughter opened their hearts and talked about the past. Zou Yuanqing tells about his seemingly complete but empty childhood, as well as his longing and cowardice for performance. Mom also tearfully explained her forbearance and choices over the years. They rediscover their place in each other's hearts, replacing sadness and guilt with trust and encouragement. 
We can't expect everyone to have smooth sailing, but as long as we still have strength in our hearts, we should not give up on the path of our dreams. Zou Yuanqing and his mother will continue to walk side by side, decorating their tomorrow with a clearer sky.
