Furong Town

This film is divided into two parts, telling the story of the beautiful woman Hu Yuyin (Liu Xiaoqing) known as "Sister Furong" in Furong Town, located at the junction of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, during the "Four Cleanups Movement" and the "Cultural Revolution". In 1963, with their warm and considerate service, the rice tofu stall run by Hu Yuyin and her husband Gui Gui (Liu Linian) gradually became the busiest scene in the morning market. In addition, the couple saved a lot of money and accumulated a considerable amount of wealth. Li Mangeng (Zhang Guangbei), the town party secretary who is also Hu Yuyin's elder brother, Gu Yanshan (Zheng Zaishi), director of the grain station, and the neighbors are all happy for them. When they built a new house and prepared to move their lives to a higher level, they faced the "Four Cleanups Movement". Li Guoxiang (Xu Songzi), the former state-owned restaurant manager who had always been jealous of Hu Yuyin and the section chief of the County Commerce Bureau, joined forces with the second-rate Wang Qiushe (Zhu Shibin). He took the opportunity to characterize her as a "rich peasant woman" among the "five types of counter-revolutionary elements" and sent her to clean the streets with Qin Shutian (Jiang Wen), the former director of the county cultural center and now known as "Qin Madman", a "rightist". Gui Gui died. During the movement, Li Mangeng betrayed Hu Yuyin out of conscience, while Gu Yanshan has always been honest and honest according to the standards of an old revolutionary soldier. In 1966, the "Cultural Revolution" began, and the absurdity of the world never ceased
