Uninhibited Life: Starting the Counterattack at Sixty

Uninhibited Life: Starting the Counterattack at Sixty Plot:

Sixty-year-old Su Yufen had spent half her life as a “good wife and mother” living for her family, only to be crushed on her birthday: her husband was celebrating with his old lover at a restaurant, and her son and daughter-in-law were fighting to sell her dowry house—just to raise彩礼 for her brother-in-law. Heartbroken, she ran into Master Zhou, the qipao tailor who taught her when she was young, in the old alley. He held up her design sketches from when she was twenty and said, “You said you’d open a qipao shop. I’ve been waiting for forty years.” She suddenly woke up, sold her gold bracelets to rent a small store, redesigned old qipaos into new styles, and unexpectedly became popular in the neighborhood. Even more surprising was Lin Shen, her retired high school deskmate, who came every day to help and secretly signed her up for the district’s senior fashion show. When Su Yufen walked the runway in her own design, her husband showed up with his mistress to make trouble, and her son held a IOU demanding money. She smiled and took out the property deed: “This house is my mother’s inheritance—none of you have a share.” And on the coffee cup Lin Shen handed her, there was a small note: “Want to watch the sunset with me?” She suddenly realized: life at sixty is just beginning.
