The story of Children in the Bay Area takes place in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. At the end of last century, a gust of wind blew Macao back to the embrace of the motherland. Many Macao people began to try to change their destiny. They yearn for more development opportunities and hope to travel freely to and from the mainland and continue their deep feelings with the mainland. The protagonist Mai Siyu is one of them.
Mai Siyu is a native of Macao. She lived by the sea since she was a child, and made a living by fishing with her father. She was deeply inspired by Ouyang Dongjiang's speech at school. She learned a lot about the mainland from Ouyang Dongjiang, who told her what she saw and heard in the mainland and encouraged her to fight for her dream. Under the influence of Ouyang Dongjiang, Mai Siyu has more ideas and courage.
Maisiyu doesn't want to be stuck in a small fishing village all his life. She wanted to seek opportunities for outward development, so Mai Siyu worked while studying knowledge, and finally became a successful businessman, realizing her dream of mainland China.
Only when career and love are successful can they be truly perfect. Mai Siyu's emotional experience is very bumpy. She has complicated emotional entanglements with Guo He, and she really doesn't know who she likes. After marriage, Mai Siyu and Guo started from scratch, but their married life was not satisfactory, and the contradiction escalated, even to the point of divorce.
At present, it is not clear whether Mai Siyu and Guo have divorced. After all, Huang Zijian is the hero of this drama, and finally Mai Siyu should be with Huang Zijian. This is all plot speculation. In a word, the finale of Children in the Bay Area is that Macao and the mainland have become a loving family, and Mai Siyu and Huang Zijian have witnessed the greatness of the motherland.
