This Chinese period drama series follows the fortunes of a prominent merchant family engaged in Traditional Chinese Medicine during the waning years of the Ching dynasty. The affairs of this family of doctors/pharmacists (which in those days were one and the same) are intimately linked with social upheavals of the time such as the encroachment of Christian missionaries and foreign imperialism as well as conflicts that inevitably emerge in a large upper class family. Comparable in scope and production value to such recent titles as "Downton Abbey", the lives and character of both masters and servants intertwine in plot lines that spans more than a generation.

This film is adapted from a true story. In the autumn of 2001, a pair of outdoor enthusiasts discovered two elderly people in a remote and rarely visited deep forest, who turned out to be Shi Shan (played by Wang Shihuai) and Hong Gu (played by Xie Lan), missing from their village for over forty years. Living as though in a primitive society of slash-and-burn cultivation, they resided in an earthen house they built themselves, illuminated by homemade oil lamps, subsisting on their own crops, and drinking spring water from the mountain. Self-sufficient in every way, they had children and reaped steadfast devotion through the decades. Over nearly half a century, Shi Shan carved over 6,000 stone steps on the mountain with his own hands, to prevent his beloved from stumbling when she left the house, transforming from a young man with black hair to an old man with white hair. These 6,000 stone steps, known as the "Ladder of Love," invoke profound reflection on eternal love...
