The story takes place in the 30s of the 20th century, and the chaotic Shandong Gaomi is precisely the DDD of the legendary occurrence of singing and crying. The broken landlord Dai Laosan (played by Han Tongsheng) was forced to make a living, and insisted on marrying his beautiful and strong daughter Jiu'er (played by Zhou Xun) to the leprosy son of the Shan family, a big brewer. Jiu'er didn't wait for Junjie, a childhood sweetheart, to elope with her, but was tied up by the bandits, and finally escaped thanks to the rescue of the sedan chair husband Yu Zhanao (played by Zhu Yawen). Jiu'er walked into the grave of a desperate marriage, while Yu Zhanao brutally destroyed the marriage and led her to find true happiness. No matter how the villagers despised and cursed, these two "dog men and women" lived their true temperament straightforwardly, they ran a sorghum winery, and Yu Zhanao even set up an armed force to fight against all forces. With the outbreak of Japan's war of aggression against China, they also came to the threshold of fate...... This film is based on Mo Yan's classic novel "Red Sorghum Family".
