Shen Yuan, the owner of Huazhong Cement Factory, married Li Kexin, the daughter of Daxiang Silk Shop, but she has fallen in love with Zhang Zongyuan, a tutor. She came to Shenyang pregnant and planted the seeds of family discord. At this time, the Japanese puppet troops frequently entered the isolated island, and Shen Yuan, inspired by the patriotic enthusiasm of the broad masses, won a lawsuit against the Japanese aggressors in the concession. In this struggle, I got Zhang Zongyuan's help, and also attracted the hatred of the Japanese and puppet troops. ......

After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, private enterprises in Shanghai were attacked by the Japanese army. Shen Yuan, director of Huashen Cement Factory, tried to move the factory to the rear, but was seriously injured by snipers on the way. Before his death, he called his son Shen Yuan, who was studying in the United States, back to China to inherit his father's career. Shen Yuan, who struggled abroad because of her lovelorn relationship with an American girl, made great efforts to repair the factory and married her cousin Li Kexin at her mother's order. I didn't expect Kexin to be pregnant with her mentor Zhang Zongyuan two of a kind, but she gave up eloping for fear of hardship. After she got married, she went insane because of inner contradictions. Although Shen Zekun recovered his sanity after giving birth, the husband and wife were strangers. Shen Yuan doesn't know the inside story, so she can only feel distressed secretly, but Wisteria, a dowry girl who knows everything, has pity on him and takes care of him everywhere. The cement factory occupied by the Japanese illegally extended Huashen's brand. In a rage, Shen Yuan filed a complaint with the concession government, but his agent was his lovely lover Zhang Zongyuan. Under the careful planning of the latter, the lawsuit was finally won. Shen Yuan, who was full of joy, was snubbed by his wife at home, only to find that Wisteria had silently collected all the newspaper clippings related to the lawsuit. Moved, Shen Yuan planted wisteria in the garden and showed his love to wisteria, but he was flatly rejected. In order to escape the Japanese revenge, Shen Yuan and driver Tian Daqin took refuge in Hong Kong, hoping to open a branch there. Unexpectedly, he received an urgent telegram from his wife saying that he was injured in a car accident and ordered him to return quickly. Shen Yuan, who returned to Shanghai, was immediately detained by the Japanese, but she relapsed in fear and was taken to the hospital. Shen Yuan, who was frightened by Japanese bullying, learned that her wife was pregnant, and she called her husband back to cover up the truth about the baby in her belly. Shen Yuan, who broke the news of adultery, was full of anger. In desperation, she broke free from the comfort of Wisteria, and the two finally embraced each other. At wisteria's entreaties, Shen Yuan took Kexin, who recovered after abortion, home. It seems that everything is as usual, but Kexin silently checks her relationship with Wisteria in Shen Yuan's happy expression. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Shen Yuan took over the Huashen Cement Plant again, only to be accused of being a traitor because of a paper lease signed under Japanese intimidation, and was arrested and imprisoned by the authorities. Kexin took the opportunity to expel pregnant wisteria as a threat, so that Tian Daqin, who lost his male ability under the torture of the Japanese army, married wisteria, and Shen Yuan, who thought she would die, nodded in agreement. A few months later, the situation changed and Shen Yuan was acquitted, but everything was a foregone conclusion. Wisteria gave birth to twin daughters Oto and Peto, but Kexin also gave birth to Shen Yuan's son Zepeng under her own careful arrangement. On the eve of liberation, Shanghai was in chaos. Shen Yuan, who had a dispute with the trade union, planned to move his family to Taiwan Province Province. Unexpectedly, several local children were infected with measles, so he had to leave Wisteria to take care of the sick Dateng and his youngest son Ze Peng. Kexin left her eldest son to her biological father, Zhang Zongyuan, and left the mainland with Shen Yuan and Tian Daqin. Shen Yuan is going to wait for the child to recover in a few days before taking Wisteria and others to his side. He doesn't want the political changes to make them live far apart for more than 40 years. In the past forty years, Wisteria has been leading a hard life with several children. In the mid-1950s, the government reissued part of the compensation for the acquisition of Huashen Factory, and their lives were much better. However, they suffered a lot during the Cultural Revolution. Zepeng developed a gentleman's temper under the care of Wisteria, and lived with his beautiful girlfriend early and got pregnant. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, he was about to graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts and wanted to stay in Shanghai because of his fiancee. In his pride, he wrote a poster criticizing the school leaders, but he was criticized because of his family background and even went insane in anger. In order not to let his younger brother's girlfriend go to despair, Zekun and the latter registered to get married and graduated from medical school. He felt dejected with his childhood friend Oto, but he didn't blame Zekun. After some touching, Oto proposed to Guizhou Branch. A few months later, she returned to Shanghai with pregnancy and claimed to be married to a native of Guizhou. Shen Yuan, who is far away from home, reopened a cement plant, and Xiao Teng, who is nominally Tian Daqin's daughter, also resumed Shen's surname. Xiao Teng went to study in the United States when he grew up, but Tian Daqin was killed because of his inexplicable affair with Shen Yuan, who had a stroke. Xiaoteng returned to his father to take over the business and began to look for family members who stayed in the mainland. A letter from her family came to Wisteria Garden, which has been occupied by many people. This letter has just been delivered to Oto, who gave birth to her daughter soon. In the letter, the latter was surprised to see that she was Shen Yuan's own daughter and thought that she and Zekun were actually brother and sister, and they had incest. In despair, she left the letter and ran outside to crash and die. Wisteria found it too late to explain that Zekun was not Shen Yuan's own flesh and blood. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Zepeng, who had left the mental hospital, tried his best to keep in touch with overseas and asked for money to renovate the "Wisteria Garden" that returned to Shenyang to prepare for his father's return to China. In his mind, he has made up his mind to monopolize his father's inheritance. Unexpectedly, Xiao Teng's father had a serious stroke and was paralyzed. He only remembers marrying wisteria. Due to poor management of Fujita, who doesn't like industry, the factory is heavily in debt and is about to close down. Xiaoteng expressed the hope that his mother Wisteria could take care of his father and go back to Taiwan Province Province to bear all the responsibilities of the debtor. Disappointed, Ze Peng spoke ill of Xiao Teng, but the old wisteria let everyone come to the garden under the wisteria frame and dug up the huge treasure that Ke Xin and himself buried here many years ago. Wisteria decided to use this huge wealth to save Taiwan Province Huashen Factory; Zepeng appealed to the court on the grounds that he was only the true blood of Shen family, demanding that Wisteria be deprived of the ownership of wealth. Soon, he fell ill again and returned to the madhouse because he lost the case. A few years later, Shen Yuan had passed away, and the wisteria suffering from paraplegia was sitting alone under the wisteria under the care of the nanny, meditating on the past. The novel wrote: "After a gust of wind, Wisteria leaned her head on the high back of the wheelchair and raised her eyes to look at the blue sky outside the Wisteria shed. The sky is high, far away and endless. There she met Shen Yuan, Daqin, Kexin and Teng. She saw them all smiling. Is there a wisteria garden there? She thought, if there is, then I should go early. They all need me and are waiting for me! "
