Description:
A poverty-alleviation team from the province arrives in a small mountain village in western Hunan. Working from dawn till dusk, they help the villagers shake off poverty and get on their feet. The villagers feel indebted and persuade the village head, Zhao Qi-Xian, to go to the county town and invite a huaguxi troupe to perform as a gesture of thanks. Many in the county huaguxi troupe have long been busy making money and have not staged a show in ages. The troupe leader, Zhang Si-Hai, agrees on a price with Zhao Qi-Xian and promises to bring a performance to Zhangshu village. Show more The troupe arrives, and so does its leading star, Hong Dong-Mei. Zhao Qi-Xian and his wife receive them warmly. Then the villager in charge of collecting money tells him that only half of the fee for the troupe has been raised. The next day a big stage goes up, and villagers from the surrounding mountains flock to it. The audience keeps growing. The actors have not seen such a lively scene in a long time; deeply moved, they perform with all their heart, and Hong Dong-Mei is especially earnest. From the bottom of their hearts they feel what it is they truly need. Below the stage the audience becomes a sea of joy, emotions on stage and off blend together, and the whole mountain village is ablaze with excitement. Suddenly Hong Dong-Mei, who has not performed like this in so long, runs out of strength and collapses on the stage. The show ends, but the audience is reluctant to leave. The villagers pick out a group of strong men who take turns carrying Hong Dong-Mei down the mountain.
