Guozi spots Weiqiang one day and, with Weihong, they follow him to an elderly care home and find him working there. Since he has been discovered, Weiqiang gets on a train the next day and leaves the town he grew up in. When people ask Weihong where his brother has gone, she imagines he has accomplished her own dream of becoming an army officer. A few years go by, and only the parents are shown eating at the table. Weihong returns after separating from her husband. Weiguo and his wife are still continuing their business, which has taken off and has attracted many customers. Weiqiang also returns one day with a wife and son. He has lost a finger but does not explain this. He does not work and instead relies on his wife as a stage singer to support him. Weihong spots the army officer she used to idolize but finds that he has become a regular person in the streets. In the ending scene, Weihong is shown to have remarried and all three siblings pass by a [[peacock]] enclosure with their families, making remarks about why the peacock won't open its feathers. When they have left, the peacock opens its feathers.
