Features: On the banks of the Mississippi River in the central United States, Xu Datong and Jian Ning, Chinese immigrants in St. Louis, finally achieved their American Dream after eight years. They had a happy family, a lovely son, enviable social status, and a prosperous income. Xu Datong proudly declared to the people: "I love America." However, when Xu Yiyang, who returned to the U.S. for a reunion, gave his grandson a scraping treatment, Xu Datong was charged with child abuse by Americans and brought to court. The whole family fell into the completely unfamiliar American legal trap. Disasters followed one after another—friends betrayed him, he lost his job, his father left, the couple separated, and the father-son were torn apart. Xu Datong was declared a dangerous person by the U.S. court and arrested by the U.S. police.
