Cui Hu plot

Xie Shuwen is an elderly widower searching for some peace in his life. What’s holding him back? A strained relationship, failing lungs, tensions with his adult children, and the general malaise of old age. Xie’s story begins a year after his wife’s death, during a family dinner where anger erupts and grievances are aired. There’s no shortage of discontent in the Shuwen household: Xie’s daughters shame him for wanting to move in with a woman, their own marriages are ravaged by arguments, and his grandsons are underperforming in school. On top of all this, Xie’s emotional blockage—his defense mechanism against painful memories and fears for the future—is compounded by Xie’s own emotional block.
