It always sets foot on classical traditions, demonstrates humanistic charms of drama culture, and seeks to take a lead in new trend of the current drama creation with new experimental exploration.

SYNOPSIS
Bai Jingqi, who is over 80 years old, walks haltingly around the courtyard with a lantern for routine inspection as he's been doing for tens of years. Now, the Baicao Mansion created by his ancestors and being prosperous under his management is confronted with breakup, and members of the kin are scrambling for the assets, which makes a multitude of feelings inside him surge up. The old man is stuck in perplexed thoughts, recalling the hard journey of his protecting the family and carving out the career, and the women he loves for a lifetime...

During the struggle against the Japanese invaders, traitors to China and officials of the Kuomintang, he has been showing the moral courage and firm character as a genuine Chinese; he has selflessly burnt up the fake drugs to maintain the credibility and integrity of a Chinese merchant; he has presided over the marriage of his love-struck sister against all the objections; he has fell in love with Huang Chun, the unlawful daughter of his foe, passionately pursued Jiu Hong, a courtesan with unfortunate life experience, married Xiang Xiu, a poor maid, regardless the opinions of the others, and lived a romantic and unstrained life despite of the disciplines and family rules.
