Serfs

Qiangba (played by Wangdui) was born in the Tibetan serf society with shackles on his neck. His father was beaten to death for contradicting the serf owner. The mother (played by Qiangba) could not repay the debt she had owed to the King of Hell for generations, and was tortured to death by Resa Wangjie (played by Qiongda). Grandma (played by Shi Que Zhuoma) worked hard to bring Qianba to his teenage years. One day, the hungry Jampa was punished as mute by Tulten Rinpoche (Tsering Dorje) for eating tribute fruits in the temple. From then on, Qiangba was adopted as a domestic slave by Wangjie and lived an inhuman life. The stubborn Qiangba showed resistance and stopped talking. One day, Lando (played by Pema Yangjie), the sister of Qiangba's friend blacksmith Gesang (played by Xiao Dorji), told him that the People's Liberation Army, a "Bodhisattva soldier" who specializes in doing good things for the people, has arrived. The upper-class reactionaries in Tibet pretended to have peace talks and sent Wangjie's son Resarangjie (played by Qionda) to meet with the People's Liberation Army. On the way, Qiangba had to act as a stepping stone for his horse and also had to carry Langjie across the river. The long life of humiliation made him so angry that he threw Lang Jie off his back. Fortunately, the People's Liberation Army arrived in time and Qianba was spared punishment. The People's Liberation Army cured his injuries and sent him back on horseback. But the fierce Lang Jie ordered the housekeeper to drag Qianba behind the horse and wanted to kill him...
