Meng Yunhan finds herself caught in an unexpected predicament when her stoic husband demands they relocate with their son. His grievance? Their boy, Baozi, has become far too attached to his mother, leaving the father feeling overshadowed and embarrassed by his own child's devotion. Not to be outdone, young Baozi takes matters into his own hands, proposing a radical solution: replacing his father altogether. In his innocent logic, a grown man who clings so desperately to their mother deserves to be replaced. The absurdity of the situation—a husband and son competing for the same woman's affection—leaves Meng Yunhan shaking her head in resignation. Watching the chaos unfold on her farmland in the seventies, she realizes the truth: these two are unmistakably cut from the same cloth. Their jealousy, their neediness, their dramatic declarations—it all points to one undeniable fact. Father and son are virtually identical in their weakness for her.
