How much does a boy have to go through

to become a real man

1950

The Korean War breaks out

In this small town in the middle of the war

People are fleeing in droves

They were crowding towards the docks

Hoping to get away on a warship

In the cold winter days

Everyone who fled

Are so helpless and sad

The main character, Xiao Bai, carried his sister on his back

He followed his parents through the crowd

Father told Bai

To hold on to his sister's hand

But when the deck fell the moment

The panic of the crowd

swarmed like crazy

While Xiao Bai was trying to climb with his sister on his back

sister was in a panic

A hand pulled down

The father who had already boarded the boat

In order to find his sister decided to leave

Before leaving

The father told his son

If I don't come back

Then you will be the head of the family

No matter what happens in the future

You must take care of your family.

No one in the family expected

Those words became the last goodbye

The mother fled with her three children.

After moving around a lot

She finally arrived at her aunt's house

Although the aunt ran a grocery store

But the times were turbulent

Everyone was in danger

She took in four people, Xiao Bai's mother and son, at once

This is a huge burden for the aunt

Although the aunt's father was reluctant

But the aunt left the family behind

Father's parting words of advice

Xiaobai did not dare to forget a moment

Although

His childhood dream was to become a sea captain

But as the eldest son of his family

Bai worked hard to bear the burden of the family

Time passed quickly

His mother had aged a lot

His younger brother was very competitive

He got into Seoul University

Although my sister is still young

But she is also in junior high school

The family's already meager income

In front of the tuition fee of younger siblings

seems to be a bit of a drop in the bucket

For the sake of his family, Xiao Bai

He gave up his studies and dreams

He subsidizes his family by working as a porter at the docks

Da Jiu, who grew up with him

Knowing Xiaobai's predicament

Took the initiative to introduce him to a well-paying job

as a miner

But the job was in Germany.

Bai refused without even thinking about it

But when he came home

He heard that his younger brother

When he heard that his brother wanted to give up his studies

White finally made his decision

In the history

Germany had a labor shortage in the 1960s

At that time, the overall quality of the Korean labor force was also relatively high

So in that year

Korea sent a large number of miners to West Germany

And Baek and Daegoo were among them

In the darkness of the mine

The air was thin

The high intensity of work

Combined with poor food

makes every absentee here

are suffering a lot

But more than these physical hardships

The real torture is

The confusion of the absentees after they leave home

and the endless longing for their families

The mines are full of accidents and dangers.

Injuries and bloodshed are commonplace.

Every day here

can be torturous.

Fortunately

A girl named Suyeon appeared

She was like a ray of sunshine

She shone into Baek's heart

Soo-yeon is also from Korea

She was sent to Germany to work as a nurse

Two people from the same country soon became acquainted

Although the straightforward Baek

Is not very good at making girls happy

But Baek knew how to cook his native dishes

This touched Suyeon's heart

With the help of Daju and the workers

The two of them spend a lot of time together

Two lonely hearts

In a foreign country grow closer

But it doesn't last long

A mine accident happened in the mine where Xiaobai was working

Xiao Bai had a chance to escape

In order to save Da Jiu

Was also buried in the mine

The workers outside the mine tried to go down to save him

But the German supervisor

Feared to take more responsibility

refused their request

Suyeon was anxious when she learned about this

In order to let the German supervisor save the people

She even knelt down and pleaded

Soo-yeon's true feelings did not get the sympathy of the Germans

But the workers broke through the German's barrier

rushed into the mine

Fortunately

Baek and Dae-goo were still breathing

The moment Xiao Bai was rescued

Suyeon tenderly grabbed his hand

Followed along the way

Her face was full of pity and love for Baek

During the recovery period

Suyeon was always with Baek

Taking care of his food and living

This is the first time that Baek

He felt the warmth of family for the first time in Germany

As a side note

This plot is going to be filmed for us

Our screenwriter will probably

will write Suyeon as Baek's lost sister

Okay, let's get back to the point

Baek's work visa will expire soon

According to the regulations

This group of Korean absentees must return to their home country when the time comes

Baek wanted Soo Yeon to go back with him

But Suyeon refused Baek's request

She had a calm face

But when she walked out of the ward, she started bawling and crying

The night before they parted

Baek and Suyeon's feelings for each other

Finally exploded

There was no talk all night

There was only endless lingering

Although they didn't want to leave

But there was no other way

Bai still went back to Korea

Three years had passed.

My mother used the hard-earned money that Baek sent back

She built a big house

With this money, his younger siblings

Their studies were going well

His mother and aunt were also in good health

Bai saw his family in front of him

I suddenly felt that

The three years of hard work were worth it

He had kept his promise with his father

As long as he could let his family live a happy life

was his greatest wish

At this time in Korea

was in a period of rapid economic development

Baek was helping out in his aunt's grocery store

He lived an ordinary life

But one day, three months later

Soo-yeon appeared and shattered Baek's peace

She took her luggage with her

She suddenly appeared in front of the grocery store

She saw her beloved girl again

Baek was very happy

But what made him even happier was that

Suyeon was pregnant with his child

And so

Baek and Suyeon got married

They lived a happy and stable life

The time came in 1973

With his own efforts, Baek

He got into Ocean University

His dream of being a captain finally came true

But no two blessings are alike and no one is alike

After the death of his aunt

Aunt S, who had been waiting for food

wanted to sell the grocery store

But the grocery store is very important to Xiao Bai

but it has a very important meaning

At the same time

My sister had found her lover

But the amount of dowry she asked for

The family could not afford it

In order to keep the grocery store

For the sake of his sister's dowry

This man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes

Once again, he threw away his dream

At that time

The Vietnam War was already underway

Koreans could serve as logistical supplies

The country would offer them

High pay in return

Although his mother and wife did not agree

Baek's decision to go to Vietnam

But for the sake of his family

In order to keep the promise with his father

He still took his brother Da Jiu with him

He came to Vietnam together

In order not to worry about his family

He always said in his letters to his family

that he was doing well

He had been operating in a military reserve

that he was safe.

But in reality

There are often terrorist attacks here

White and the others often face the threat of S death

On one mission.

White even escaped from the S

But was shot in the leg

Left with a permanent disability

But even so

In the letter he sent back

Still, as always, he assured

that he was safe.

that he was fine.

In 1976

Bai returned with the money he had paid for with his life

Returned again

He bought his aunt's grocery store

He bought his sister a full dowry

When Xiao Bai limped

Holding his sister's hand

into the marriage hall

Sister finally could not help but

Left tears of gratitude and regret

But fortunately

The family's hard life

finally came to an end

But the lost father and sister

Xiao Bai's family will always have a pain in their hearts

In 1983

Since we lost our father and sister

33 years had passed

Between the two Koreas

The fervor to find relatives back home has never stopped.

For this reason, the TV station has planned a special program

During the Korean War

during the Korean War.

After the program was broadcast

In front of the TV station building

From all over the country

More than 50,000 separated families gathered here

The square was filled with search notices

With a ray of hope

Bai also participated in this program

During the interview

He explained in detail what it was like when they were separated

He took out a 33-year-old

He had treasured until now

He took out the half-sleeve of his sister's shirt that was left behind when she was separated

He kept repeating the names of his father and sister

He hoped that through the TV station

to find his family members who were separated back then

Time and again, he connected with the suspected father

No joy

Only more disappointment

Finally

God opened his eyes

A phone call from Los Angeles, USA

Bringing new hope

After a live connection

A woman appeared on the screen

Before White could ask a question

The other party first said

A memory from her childhood

Although she doesn't speak Korean anymore

But she always remembered

The winter of 1950

Hearing this

Baek couldn't contain her excitement

The two siblings sobbed through the TV screen

Not long after that

Sister returned to Korea

In addition to her father

The family was finally reunited

Mother died a few years later

She never got to see her husband again

This was her greatest regret in life

In the blink of an eye

Xiao Bai has become an old man

He was almost old

Now he has a lot of children and grandchildren

He no longer has to work hard for his family

Because of the damage to his body when he was young

Now it is even worse than every day

But his heart is attached to his father

This man could not let go of his father

Back then, he strongly opposed his aunt's sale of the grocery store

Now the value of the property has risen

The price of the house has increased countless times

Real estate developers have repeatedly expropriated the property at a high price

Dan Laobai never relented

The girls didn't understand

Even his younger brothers and sisters

said he was a stubborn old man

But

they did not know

This grocery store to him

What it meant to him

On the day he was separated from his father

For these words

For the sake of the grocery store

He was even willing to go to Vietnam to fight for his life

He spent his whole life

To keep the promise with his father

Although he knew that his father might be long gone

But the grocery store was there

His thoughts of his father were there

How much does a boy have to go through

To become a real man

Bai had fulfilled his promise to his father

But all this way

He was too tired
