Portrait of Home

Portrait of Home (Chinese: 同心圆) is a Chinese language drama serial which was filmed for and broadcast on Singapore's Mediacorp TV Channel 8 in 2005. It stars Louise Lee, Xiang Yun, Adrian Pang, Pierre Png and Felicia Chin as the casts of the series. It is shown on weekdays at 7pm.

The show has 100 episodes telecast in two segments, the first part with 60 episodes and the second part with 40 episodes.

Tong Xin Yuan is a successful fishball factory with thriving sales both locally in Singapore and in neighbouring countries. However, beneath its success lies a dark mystery.

Many years ago, Li Tian (Louise Lee), a beautiful factory worker, married Zhou Dong (Chen Shucheng), the founder of Tong Xin Yuan. The couple had three sons: Zhou Dadi (Adrian Pang), Zhou Dashan (Yao Wenlong) and Zhou Daqiu (Cavin Soh). However, tragedy struck when Zhou Dong disappeared after a failed kidnap attempt, leaving behind no trace of his body.

In his absence, a loyal factory worker, Lin Shitou (Richard Low), stepped up to run the business. Three years later, he married Li Tian, and they had another three sons: Lin Dahai (Terence Cao), Lin Dayang (Pierre Png) and Lin Dajiang (Zhang Yaodong). Rumours soon spread that Shitou had killed Zhou Dong to seize both the factory and Li Tian.

Despite the speculation, Tong Xin Yuan flourished under the couple’s management, and Li Tian ensured that all six sons were treated equally. To keep the family close, she built a seven-unit apartment block, reserving six units for her sons. They could only move in after marriage; otherwise, they would forfeit their unit. She also set a strict rule that the family must gather for a meal once a week, no matter how busy they were.

The six half-brothers, each with distinct personalities, often clashed. Though they all worked at the fishball factory, Dahai pursued scriptwriting, and Dajiang remained in university.

Among them, Dadi was the most eccentric and remained single. Secretly, he loved Zhang Xiu Hua (Xiang Yun), a factory worker who later became the supervisor, manager, and CEO of Tong Xin Yuan. Xiu Hua is also their housekeeper. Unaware of his feelings, Li Tian and Xiu Hua arranged a Vietnamese bride, Ruan Mianmian (Jesseca Liu), for him, leaving him in an awkward situation.
