Highly anticipated series highlights themes of sisterhood
The series, which also stars actresses Vivian Wu and Xi Meijuan as the mother and grandmother, was filmed in Huainan in East China's Anhui province, capturing some time-honored locations, including Huaishang Dock, Beitou Food Market Street and Huainan Normal University.
Set in the city, the drama incorporates many local elements ranging from customs to food. For example, satang, a type of rice porridge made with broth, appears in multiple scenes as the mother's favorite dish.
Yang Xiaopei, the chief producer and art director of the drama, said that each character has their own story and these tales intertwine to become an indispensable source of strength in each other's lives. She hopes the project conveys a sense of warmth and strength to audiences.
