(Synopsis)
In a village near Shanghai a poor fisherman's wife struggles with her twins--a son, Hou, and a daughter, Mao. After her husband's death, she has become the wet nurse of He Ziying, son of the owner of many fishing boats.
Ziying becomes friend and playmate to the twins. When the twins grow up they become fishermen like their father, while Ziying travels abroad to study new techniques that will modernize his father's (later his own) fishing company. As the poor fishermen cannot compete against He's industrialized form of organization, the twins emigrate to Shanghai with their mother and make their living singing songs on the street.
One day Ziying meets Mao and gives her some money, but after being discovered in possession of such an unusually large sum, Mao and Hou are arrested on suspicion of theft. When released they learn that their mother, shocked and desperate after their arrest, accidentally caused a fire which killed her and their uncle. They also learn that Ziying's father was completely ruined by his mistress and committed suicide. The three childhood friends meet again and decide to restart their fishing business together.
