The middle-aged couple Tang Dachuan and Yinxing lost their only child in the 5•12 eathquake of Wenchuan, Sichuan Province in China. Yinxing could not deal with the fact that her son was gone and get on with her life, so she set up a telescope for tourists to see the quake site and a booth selling souvenirs of the quake. Tang Dachuan gave up a job opportunity to stay in Sichuan with her wife. He opened a restaurant and hire a widow, Peach, who also lost her husband in the quake as a waitress. Peach finally had a romantic relationship with Yinxing’s cousin Er Mang. They all have their new lives and children with the help from the government.
