Description:

Based on the novel by Chen Zhong Shi, the gripping drama White Deer Plain, directed by Liu Jin, is set in the historic White Deer Village of Shaanxi Province. For generations, the prominent Bai and Lu families have lived together in harmony. However, massive societal turmoil sparks a fierce struggle for land ownership between them. The tension intensifies when a young woman, newly arrived in the village, finds herself caught between these two opposing camps. Director Liu Jin brilliantly uses the generational conflict of these two families as a powerful metaphor for the shifting fate of the Chinese people. As the story unfolds, the village faces the reign of Chinese warlords, the brutality of Japanese invaders, and the devastation of a civil war following the Second World War, culminating in the rise of the victorious Maoists. This epic historical drama captures a deeply moving tale of survival, legacy, and national transformation.
