A taiwanese veteran is a mute, known as a dumb uncle, who makes a living by buying empty wine bottles and picking up rags. One early morning in the winter of 1958, Uncle Dumb picked up an abandoned baby girl in the alleyway of an upscale residential area. In the swaddling, there is a note left by the person who abandoned the baby girl. The girl's name is Ame. For this, his wife clashed with him and ran away from home.
The dumb uncle is both a father and a mother, and the father and daughter are dependent on each other and struggle. In order to make Ame more happy in life, Uncle Dumb plays beautiful music for her when she is tired. After graduating from high school, Ame worked as a singer in a restaurant. Later, with the help of the young composer Shi Junmai, he improved the level of singing art and was well received by the audience.
Yu Guangtai, the owner of an entertainment company, signed a contract to perform in Southeast Asia in order to make money with Ah Mei. Ame consulted with Uncle Dumb. Dumb uncle is very contradictory. He wants his daughter to make a difference, but he is also afraid that his daughter alone is in danger. Finally, in order to earn money to help his father buy a house after the house was demolished, and not live on the street, he agreed to sign a contract. I didn't want paper contracts, but it undermined my freedom. After the show, she became a red singer, but she could not extricate herself and could not meet her elderly father. The dumb uncle was distraught and almost hit by a speeding motorcycle on the street. In a critical moment, Uncle Dumb and Amey's dog "Rifle" knocked him down. He was hit and killed by a car. Rifle's death left the lonely mute uncle without his last intimate partner, while his daughter was temporarily unable to reunite with him. The dumb uncle's body and mind were even more collapsed, and his health deteriorated sharply. At this time, Ah Mei was touring Southeast Asia, and she could not get out of her body when she met her father, and Ah Mei could only ask Yu Guangtai to hand over 200,000 yuan to her father.
After Ah Mei returned to Taipei, she was anxious to go to her residence to reunite with her father, but Yu Guangtai prevented Ami from rehearsing nervously in order to avoid unnecessary distractions before the concert. A few days later, when Ame took the time to sneak into the mansion, the mansion had been demolished. Immediately after, Ame's concert began. Dumb Uncle saw his long-lost daughter on TELEVISION. He suffered a heart attack and was taken to hospital. Ah Mei rushed to the hospital when she heard the news, but it was the last time she could not see Uncle Dumb. Back at the scene of the performance, Ame, full of bitterness that could not serve her elderly father, sang a voice of nostalgia on the stage: "Without you, there would be no me." If you don't raise me, give me a warm life, and if you don't protect me anymore, what will happen to me! ”
Although Uncle Dumb is a mute, he shows his father's love to the fullest. Father's love is like a mountain. Hats off to all fathers!
