With a heavy heart, Li chose to save her son, Fang Da. Unbeknownst to her, her daughter, Fang Deng, miraculously survived the ordeal.

The reunion exposed long-held secrets and unleashed powerful emotions as the family struggled to come to terms with their shared past. Aftershock is a poignant portrayal of love, loss, and sacrifice, exploring the complexities of human relationships in the face of tragedy.
