The acting of the entire cast in this episode is stellar. You cannot choose your parents, and their choices can affect your entire life, as seen in this drama which starts out in rural Shandong of the late 1920s. My grandmother was told by her father that a girl after the age of 12 does not need education, and that is what he took from her. He was also responsible for her marriage. When I look at the sisters, I find myself experiencing a myriad mixture of emotions for them, and for everyone else who has been affected by an abrupt twist of fate. Xing Fei and Zhang Tianyang are impossible to look away from, and this is the drama where Yang Mi truly blossoms. You will feel the cold, you will grimace at the cruelty of circumstances, and you cannot turn away from everyone on the screen. Get ready a bunch of tissues if you are soft-hearted. The grit and rawness of this episode will stay with you, even after the credits roll. And you might get hungry after watching this. Looking forward to the rest of the drama. The emotional impact has been building since the first three episodes, and this episode is unforgettable.
