Short description
Fugui and Jiazhen endure tumultuous events in China as their personal fortunes move from wealthy landownership to peasantry. Addicted to gambling, Fugui loses everything. In the years that follow he is pressed into both the nationalist and communist armies, while Jiazhen is forced into menial work.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was not released in mainland China due to its critical depiction of the communist government.
  • The Communist Party of China banned its director, Zhang Yimou, from making films for five years for filming this movie. The ban was later lifted due to the worldwide outcry.
