Yu Yang is a highly respected retired principal. He has a deep affection for traditional Chinese culture and places an emphasis on family values.

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law Elaine Yiu is a good mother and wife, and keeps the household in perfect order. But as her son grows older, the family is faced with decisions about his education, which brings out the nerves of everyone.
