Synopsis

In 1900, on the Bank of the Yellow River, the foolish and cruel ceremony of praying for rain was going on. Villagers wanted to sacrifice the two girls into the turbulent Yellow River. One of the girls was thrown into the Yellow River. Just when the other girl was about to be killed, her brother brought people to save her. When the soldiers came, the girl cut off the bridge and fell into the river. By the Yarlung Zangbo River, the girl was rescued by the Tibetan Youth Gesang and the old woman, named Xueer Dawa.

A British expedition entered Tibet. Explorers Jones and Rockman were submerged by an avalanche. Gesang and Xueer rescued them. At the critical moment when the British will be executed by the leader, gersan's "Udo" (cattle rope bag for sheep) once again played a magical role in rescuing them from death. To appreciate the help, Rockman gave gersan a lighter.

Rockman's gone. Jones's sick. The beautiful grassland and simple Tibetans make Jones fall in love with Tibet. Danzhu, the beautiful and willful daughter of Gesang, is attracted by Gesang's boldness. She pursues Gesang recklessly, regardless of Xueer's love for Gesang. Gesang refuses Danzhu's love and makes love to Xueer.

Tibet's ancient civilization and mineral resources made the British Empire want to plunder it for itself. The British Expeditionary Force headed by Rockman attacked Tibet. Thousands of Tibetan people were not afraid of violence. In order to defend their homeland and territorial integrity, they fought bloody battles with the invading British forces. The leader leads Yubu to retreat into the castle, and Danzhu is captured. In order to save his daughter, the leader falls down. Danzhu sings an old love song and dies with the enemy.

British troops flooded into the castle. Gesang embraces the injured Xueer, facing the "messenger of civilization" and the "helping hand" extended to him by Rockman, who he once saved, smiles, blows on the lighter Rockman gave him, and throws fire oil everywhere. After a loud noise, the castle disappeared in a thick smoke and fire.

On the top of the snow capped mountain, an old voice came: "the goddess of snow capped mountain has three sons, the eldest is the Yellow River, the second is the Yangtze River, and the youngest is the Yarlung Zangbo River..."

Film evaluation

The Red River Valley, with the eyes of a child who has never experienced the world, witnessed and experienced life, belief, freedom, war, death, civilization and barbarism in a short time. Then, through the precipitation of years, the understanding of these contents in the hearts of every audience is extracted. The whole film works, there is no lack of relatively spectacular fighting sacrifice screen. It shows that the local residents deeply feel that the strength of natural forces cannot be overcome by others. The sense of inferiority can only be hidden in the same kind of people, and accompanied by busy work to suppress the fear in the heart. However, on the contrary, the creation of human civilization is extremely powerful and energetic, and it seems that people want to compete with nature. The war scene is violent and shocking, and human civilization is wrapped inside. Civilization is protected by faith and nature. Man's war is carried out in the arms of nature and constantly shakes. He wants to violate the laws of nature and is subject to nature. < I (red net comments) < / I
