Description:
In 1938, to halt the Japanese advance, Chiang Kai-Shek ordered the dikes blown up at Huayuankou in Henan, unleashing the floodwaters. The people of the Central Plains abandoned their homes and were left wandering. Li Mai (Zhang Rui-Fang), a woman laborer in a landlord's household, was outraged that the Kuomintang authorities cared nothing for the people's fate and publicly demanded answers from them, but the Nationalist officers merely fobbed her off. Later, inspired by the woman cadre Song Min (Li Xiu-Ming), Li Mai joined the Communist Party. Show more She actively rallied the homeless refugees, spreading the Party's message and organizing them to struggle against the enemy. Disguised, she slipped into the city and, before the foreign journalists Du Lan-Te (Ge Sha) and Bei Li (Katie), exposed the authorities' crimes of ruining the country and its people. After Liberation, Li Mai, now a district cadre, was warmly received by Chairman Mao (Yu Shi-Zhi) on the Yellow River dike, and she was overcome with emotion. To everyone she met, she told of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the Yellow River flood zone before and after Liberation. And when another catastrophic flood peak arrived in 1958, Premier Zhou (Wang Tie-Cheng)
