"The stories are as old as time itself.
The prodigal son who returns home to the father who forgives him.
The jealous wife who tricks the husband who trusts her…
The desperate mother who risks everything for the child who needs her.
And the faithless husband who hurts the wife who loves him so deeply.
Why do we listen again and again?
Because these are the stories of family, and once we look past the fighting, pain and the resentment, we occasionally like to remind ourselves: there is absolutely nothing more important." 
故事依旧是那个古老的故事。 浪子回头金不换；善父宽容抛前嫌；欲妻讹夫骗信任；慈母护子为哪般；为夫不忠留妻绝…… 为何故事一遍又一遍？只因事关一家人，蓦然回首，须自省，家为首。
