A Broken Boat, A Whole Family

Zhou Haisheng, a young fisherman from a coastal village, is introduced by Aunt Chunmei to the Lin family—struggling with debt after their father vanished at sea. He joins Lin Wanqing and her younger sister Lin Xiaoman to hold the household together. With a rickety old fishing boat and barely enough to eat, he uses his exceptional seamanship to repair the vessel, mend nets, and brave the open waters. From fresh fish and mud crabs to prized lobster, he steadily lifts the family out of poverty. Along the way, he rescues neighbors in peril and stands by the sisters as they search for their missing father. Through storms and trials, the family is finally reunited. From one broken boat to a home full of happiness, they turn hardship into hope through diligence, kindness, and devotion.
