Jhi-jia has gone against his father's wishes and married Ming-yue, leaving his father to watch the lighthouse. His father is gradually becoming a stubborn old man who keeps to himself. After getting married, Jhi-jia has a daughter, Yu-lian. When Yu-lian is three years old, Ming-yue, tired of the plain life of an artist, abandons Jhi-jia and their daughter to marry someone else. Jhi-jia's departure caused Chang-shan to isolate himself. He does not want to become emotionally attached to Yu-lian and deliberately treats her coldly. Not until he understands his son's regret as expressed in his will, and Yu-lian in an attempt to show her love for Chang-shan almost drowns when fishing, does Chang-shan accept his granddaughter. The two then live happily together. Chang-shan takes ill, and an examination shows that it is fatal. He has seen Jhi-jia leave home, and now fate forces him to be eternally separated from his beloved granddaughter. Close
