Gravel

Gravel (1984) After Su Wang, a descendant of the martyrs, was demobilized from the army, he gave up the opportunity to be cared for by his leadership and volunteered to work as a road maintenance worker in the remote Tarim Desert despite the objections of his fiancée Ding Qin. When Su Wang arrived at Shaliang Road Class, only the big boy Fang Yushu, the little fat boy Guda and the acting class leader Hader were left here. Hard labor and harsh environment are distorting the minds and characters of road workers. Fang Yushu and Guda, who wanted to return to the city, became increasingly depressed and decadent. They drink and tell fortunes all day long, while Hader is enduring the torment of a broken love. After a crazy fight, Fang Yushu and Guda packed up their luggage and returned to the city. After they left, the difficulties became even greater. As the squad leader, Su Wang gritted his teeth and worked hard. Li Man, a female educated youth responsible for delivering water to the Taoist class, saw all this and learned that Su Wang also conducted road bonding experiments in his spare time and bought flowers to decorate the Taoist class room. She couldn't help but admire this tough guy. Ding Qin wrote a letter to break up with Su Wang, and at this time Hader's girlfriend wrote to get back together with him. In order to fulfill their needs, Su Wang granted Hader's leave. He himself had to do the work of four people. Loneliness and fatigue were tormenting him all the time. Su Wang finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he drank to drown his sorrows and became extremely drunk. Li Man brought him hot buns in the rain. And helped him direct emergency road repairs.
