The Qilin Son Returns to Repay Maternal Love

The Qilin Son Returns to Repay Maternal Love Plot:

Lin Shen, the "Qilin Son" of investment banking, hasn't been home for three years while chasing a billion-dollar project. His mother's call—"I just want to drink the ginger tea you make"—sends him rushing back overnight. When he arrives, he finds his mother has long been blind, making bamboo baskets in the dark to survive. She also saved all the 200,000 yuan he sent each year in a bankbook: "For when you're tired, you have a home." Even more shocking, he discovers her late-stage gastric cancer record—she stopped chemotherapy to not hinder his career. Now, the project team urges him to return to Shanghai within three hours to sign the contract. Between the peak of his career and the stack of childhood rough-cloth shirts by his mother's bed ("I want to see you wear them again"), Lin Shen clutches the plane ticket and bankbook, finally tearing the ticket and crying: "Mom, this time I'll stay—boil the ginger tea with you, even if it cools and we reheat it."
