This was an adaptation of a novel "Her Tender Heart" ("Nu
Er Xin") by Du Ning.
For years Li Boming had been living with his beloved daughter Li Peiying. Suddenly Li's mother Gu Yunmei returned to Hong Kong from Italy to see her daughter, but as an auntie. Without knowing that Gu was actually her mother, Li Peiying spent a few days with her, sharing happiness and secrets. However, Li Peiying was surprised to find her father was cold and unfriendly to Gu when they saw each other at home. One day Li Peiying asked Gu to attend a classmate's birthday party, together with her boyfriend Lin Zhongwen. Gu was happy to see Lin, a handsome and polite young man who worked as a apprentice doctor in a hospital. |
Soon Li Peiying overheard a conversation between her father
and Gu and discovered the fact that Gu was her mother who had
abandoned her when she was a baby and ran away with her lover.
Shocked and outrageous, Li Peiying refused to recognise Gu as
her mother. But Li Boming insisted that Li Peiying should
respect Gu no matter what she had done.
Days later it was Li Peiying's birthday. On his way to buy a present for his beloved daughter, Li Boming was knocked down by a truck and lost one of his legs. Li Peiying rushed to the hospital to see her father in tearful eyes. Li Boming tried to pacify her and asked her to be good to her mother. |
Meanwhile, Gu's husband Zeng Zhiping arrived in Hong Kong and
claimed that Li Peiying was actually his daughter. And Gu had
returned to Hong Kong to take her back. Li Boming had known
this for years and tried to persuade Li Peiying follow her own
parents to Italy but she did not want to leave him alone.
Annoyed and not knowing what to do, Li Peiying sought advice from Lin. Lin persuaded Li Peiying follow Li Boming's advice and return to Italy with her parents. She finally agreed. On the day of departure, Li Boming sneaked out of the hospital to see his daughter off. However, he had another accident. When Li Peiying saw this she rushed back to help him. Seeing that her daughter had been so close to Li Boming, Gu decided to give up and return to Italy with Zeng.
