Features: This is a panoramic film novel reflecting the lives of mixed-race children across several generations in China and abroad. The story begins in the dark period of German military invasion of Shandong, China, a century ago, and continues into the China of the 20th century during the reform and opening-up era. The protagonist, Cang Tianfu, grows from a young laborer working under the whips of invaders into a Chinese national capitalist with a strong sense of patriotism. His unique life experiences lead both of his daughters to develop deep blood ties with people from foreign cultures. His eldest daughter, Liliya, has an adopted son named Lu Jiefang, and his youngest daughter, Diya, has a daughter-in-law named Glaurey. Both of their faces exhibit the features of white people, leading them to walk through many paths in life that are hard for ordinary people to imagine.
