In the spring of 1995, Teresa Teng's mother Zhao Sugui celebrated her 70th birthday in the lobby of Taipei Birthday Banquet Hall. Teresa Teng promised to help collect tap water in the mountainous area of ​​northern Taipei, but she couldn't come back to celebrate her mother's birthday, so she sang happy birthday to her mother over the phone to make up for it. As a famous singer, Teresa Teng is almost a household name, and Zhao Sugui followed suit. Many people came to celebrate her birthday and asked when Teresa Teng would come back to hold a concert.

When her young lover Zhou Taisheng came to attend Zhao Sugui's birthday party, Teresa Teng's friend Duan Ning said that Teresa Teng was living very well with her current boyfriend in Thailand. Even so, he still talked to Teresa Teng on the phone through Deng Changfu and sang the songs of his youth. Teresa Teng knew that it was Zhou Taisheng on the other end of the phone. She left her lover and walked aside to respond to him, then hung up the phone and sang the lyrics over and over again alone.

Teresa Teng suffered an asthma attack, and there was no one around her. By the time she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance for emergency treatment, she was already dead. Zhao Sugui had an unknown premonition, so she got up and called her daughter, but no one answered. The news that Teresa Teng had an asthma attack and died in Thailand was broadcast on TV. As soon as Deng Changfu learned the bad news, he called the nanny at home and asked her to cut off all the phone and television lines.

Countless reporters gathered outside Teresa Teng's home in Taiwan, and Zhao Sugui could not turn on the TV. At this time, the third son came back, knelt down in tears and said that the girl was gone. The mother specially prepared flowers for her daughter that would bloom longer, but she still could not wait until Teresa Teng came back to see them. Zhao Sugui accepted the fact that the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, and asked his son to take Teresa Teng back no matter what. Afterwards, Teresa Teng's compatriots brought her body back to Taiwan.

Zhao Sugui found Teresa Teng's foreign boyfriend at the time, Ma Ke, to learn about the situation that day. On the day of Teresa Teng's accident, Ma Ke was not around for something, so he blamed himself, but Zhao Sugui did not blame him. Marco took out a photo, and Zhao Sugui immediately remembered when the photo was taken. Before Zhao Sugui entered the mourning hall, she told the children not to follow her in. She wanted to talk to Teresa Teng alone for a while.

The last thing Zhao Sugui said on the phone that day was thank you. Without Teresa Teng, the Deng family would not be what it is today. It was January 29, 1953 in Taipei. Deng Shuyang named the upcoming child Teresa Teng. At the same time, Zhao Sugui gave birth to a girl, breaking the old Deng family's curse that the first three children were sons. Deng Hua and his wife used the words written by Deng Shu drunkenly to ask for a child but were rejected. The commotion was quite big at that time.

Duan Ning and Teresa Teng are similar in age and grew up together. She returned to her hometown to reminisce about her old friends. This land called the Military Village surrounded Teresa Teng's childhood and slowly told the story of the past. Teresa Teng often stayed with her father Deng Shu when she was a child, listening to him and several uncles singing "The Ballad of the Great Wall", and gradually grew into a good singer. Mother Chen and others were playing mahjong, and Zhongyu, who was on duty in the gendarmerie, came to arrest them.

Mother Chen hid a piece of mahjong, but Little Teresa Teng saw it. Zhongyu chased directly to Deng Shu's house and refused to hand over the piece of mahjong. Later, little Teresa took out the hidden piece of mahjong and the money and gave it to Zhongyu, and then sang the song "Ballad of the Great Wall", everyone hummed along with it, and the homesickness became even stronger. Zhongyu stood there, they were born from the same roots, so there was no need to rush into each other. Zhongyu suddenly felt ashamed.
