Abstract
A divorced couple learns that their little daughter Hehe's fevers are because she has a blood disease. The doctor informs them that a bone marrow transplant might save her and that the best donor would be a sibling. Each of them has since remarried to other people so to conceive another child together would put their current relationships at risk. Parents Mei Zhu and Ziao Lu must decide what to do because neither of them is a donor match for their daughter. They "are forced to test their love and their commitment to one another by putting their current relationships in danger. A story of parenthood, love, married life, betrayal, trust and giving, In Love We Trust touches upon changes in contemporary society and family life, as well as the moral and ethical dilemmas brought on by modernity."
