Ouyang Tianqing and Kuang Caiyun, two young women who did not know each other, boarded the same ship, departing from the Pearl River Delta, crossing the Lingdingyang, and seeking a way out in the unfamiliar Nanyang. Kuang Caiyun worked as a domestic servant "majie" and Ouyang Tianqing worked as a "red scarf" on a construction site. A tragic fate awaited them: wandering, abduction and expulsion, imprisonment, ruthless war, betrayal, emotional suffering, separation and death... Life was hard and the road ahead was uncertain, but they always believed that as long as they did not give up, they would be able to survive.
