Nuonuo by the Riverbank

About the story

Old Wang, an elderly man in Qingxi Village, rescues an abandoned baby named Nuonuo from the river. He sells his cow and borrows money for her treatment, then raises her through years of hardship. A piece of blue cloth embroidered with half the character An leads to the mystery of her origins. A mysterious woman delivers gifts late at night, and the Fang family comes to claim the child. Following the clues, Old Wang finds Nuonuo's biological mother Lin Xiulan and learns that she abandoned her daughter to save her life after suffering domestic violence. When the villains try to seize the child, Old Wang stands up to them and, with the police's help, protects mother and daughter. In the end, Lin Xiulan stays in the village and raises Nuonuo with Old Wang. Three lonely, suffering people form a warm family.
