The Bailuyuan Plain, which is said to be blessed by the white deer, has been inhabited by descendants of the same family, the Bai and Lu families. As time passed, the Qing Dynasty fell and the Republic of China was established. Bai Xiaowen (Cheng Taishen), the son of the current patriarch Bai Jiaxuan (Zhang Fengyi), Lu Zhaopeng (Guo Tao), the son of the village head Lu Zilin (Wu Gang), and Heiwa (Duan Yihong), the son of the Bai family's head worker Lu San, are like brothers. After they grow up, they each pursue their own careers. Heiwa's affair with Tian Xiaoe (Zhang Yuqi), a little woman from the family of Guo Juren in Weibei, was exposed. Tian Xiaoe was also rejected by the patriarch from the ancestral hall, so the two moved to a cave in a slow slope to live. Lu Zhaopeng, who joined the Communist Party, brought back the revolutionary wave from the city, and Heiwa became the backbone. After the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the two brothers were forced to flee. Lu Zilin took the opportunity to occupy Tian Xiao'e, who was left alone, and used her to frame the next clan leader Bai Xiaowen, causing an uproar in the clan... In the ever-changing situation, the Bailu Village, known for its "benevolence and righteousness", was in constant dispute, and the ancient land was facing earth-shaking changes. This film is adapted from Mr. Chen Zhongshi's fourth Mao Dun Literature Award work "White Deer Plain". The original work spanned half a century, and the film captured the turbulent changes from 1912 to 1938. The original Qin Opera performance and the vast wheat fields are intoxicating.
