‘The Lost Daughter’ (岁岁平安) is a 2025 Chinese drama directed by Zang Lianrong and Xu Ruogu.

The film centres on a family crisis that exposes the lasting consequences of a mother’s past choice to give up her child. The cast includes Liu Weiwei, Duan Aojuan, Cai Yuanjiang, Zhao Hu, and Yang Yang.

Synopsis: During a violent storm, a young boy collapses at a school sports event, and his mother learns that only a bone marrow transplant can save him. Years earlier, under China’s family-planning policies, she abandoned her infant daughter, sending her to live with relatives. Now grown, the daughter has survived abuse and built a precarious life of her own. When the mother seeks her out as a last hope, their reunion becomes a tense emotional reckoning shaped by truth, resentment, and survival. [© Far East Films]
