Zhang Yimou - Sun Wangquan
Lu Liping - Duan Zifeng
Sun Wangquan (Zhang Yimou) returns to
his remote and primitive mountain village after studying for years
in the city in this tedious drama. He hopes to raise the standard
of living for the desert wasteland with simple technology that can
produce a steady water supply. Sun is coveted by two women. He solves
the dilemma by marrying the obnoxious woman for the dowry and keeping
the kind one as his mistress. The villagers combine their efforts
to begin construction on a much-needed well.
