In a small town in the 1920s, Yang Jinshan was the town's dye shop owner, not only grumpy but also vitriolous, because he was dysfunctional, so he was more than half a hundred years old and did not have a son and a half daughter.
In order to continue the incense, after the two women he married were abused by him, he spent a lot of money to buy a young and beautiful woman, Ju Dou.
Judou is young and beautiful, but after being bought into the door, he not only has to work in the dye shop during the day, but also faces her abusive husband at night.
On this day, Yang Tianqing, who had been running errands in other places for several months, returned to the dyeing workshop.
Tian Qing's parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by Yang Jinshan, the owner of the dyeing workshop, although he was called "uncle and nephew", but in fact, he was given yang Jinshan free labor.
Yang Jinshan usually speaks ill of Tianqing, and he is nearly forty years old and still has not married.
The guy who also worked in the dyeing workshop told Tianqing that Yang Jinshan had tossed the first two women to death, and now he had bought a young and beautiful woman outside, and he could hear screams every night.
In the blink of an eye, late at night, Tianqing was suddenly awakened by the screams that came from it, followed by Yang Jinshan's insult to Ju Dou.
In the early morning, Tian Qing was working, and just happened to see Ju Dou, who had been tortured by Yang Jinshan for one night.
In such a depressing feudal era, tianqing, who had not yet touched a woman at the age of forty, had an instinctive desire for aunt Ju Dou in his heart.
In the wood room, Azure peeked through a hole in the wall and peeked at Ju Dou who was bathing.
When Ju Dou discovered Tianqing's behavior, he deliberately exposed his injuries to Tianqing.
This made Azure not only lustful, but also pitying. However, due to ethics and morality, Tianqing never spoke to Ju Dou head-on.
Every night, Yang Jinshan's abuse of Ju Dou never stopped, and the screams of the whole night filled the dye shop.
Tianqing sat downstairs every night listening to Ju Dou's wailing, but Tianqing, who had a cowardly personality, never dared to go upstairs.
The next morning, Ju Dou, who was crying a lot, took the initiative to complain to Tian Qing, who was working.
Looking at the bruised Ju Dou, Tianqing was even more angry and pitying, but the religious etiquette under the old society made Tianqing dare to be angry and dare not speak.
One night, Yang Jinshan was abusing Ju Dou again, and Ju Dou's heart-rending howl made Tian qing finally can't help it.
He took the pig-killing knife and prepared to rush upstairs, but in the end he did not have the courage to rush up, and Azure slashed the pig-killing knife on the stairs like a vent.
The next day, Ju Dou, who was tortured into an inhuman form, saw the knife mark on the stairs and understood the meaning of Azure.
She could no longer bear the torture of Yang Jinshan, nor could she bear the oppression of the feudal marriage of the old husband and young wife, and decided not to succumb to fate anymore.
Ju Dou walked into the firewood room, originally to block the hole in the firewood room, but she changed her mind, and she took off her clothes against Tianqing, who was peeping.
This may be the beginning of Judou's rebellion.
But Azure still did not dare to make any response.
One day, the horse in the dyeing workshop fell ill, and Yang Jinshan rushed to take the horse to see a doctor, leaving only Ju Dou and Tian Qing at home.
But Tianqing's cowardice and timidity made him still not take the initiative to talk to Ju Dou.
On the third day, Ju Dou, who could not resist the impulse in his heart, began to blatantly seduce Tianqing.
A seemingly unethical love sprouted...
Soon after, Ju Dou became pregnant, which made Yang Jinshan happy, thinking that his own male wind was still there.
But he didn't know that the child in Ju Dou's belly was actually azure.
Pregnant in October, Ju Dou gave birth to a big fat boy, and the family elders gathered together to name the child "Yang Tianbai", and his brother Yang Tianqing means "innocent".
On this day, Yang Jinshan was going to go out again, and Tianqing immediately ran to Ju Dou's house.
Although he and Ju Dou are truly in love with each other and have a son, in the old society, a family of three can only be careful to meet each other.
The two were entangled, but there was movement outside the door, it was Yang Jinshan who led the donkey out of the door back, but Yang Jinshan was not seen.
It turned out that Yang Jinshan had an accident on the way back and fell from the mountain.
Tianqing carried Yang Jinshan past a cliff and wanted to throw him down.
As long as Yang Jinshan died, he would be able to be with Ju Dou in a bright and upright way.
But the kind Tianqing still carried him home, and the doctor diagnosed that Yang Jinshan's lower body was paralyzed and could not move.
At night, Ju Dou and Tian qing, who were secretly happy, put on red wedding dresses, perhaps this was a rebellion against feudal etiquette.
The sound of the two flirting made Yang Jinshan angry, and in order to vent his anger, he wanted to fall to Yang Tianbai, but he accidentally fell to the ground when he was paralyzed in his lower limbs.
The next morning, Ju Dou was dragged to the ground by Yang Jinshan as soon as he entered the door, but Yang Jinshan, who could not move, how could he beat Ju Dou.
Ju Dou saw the situation and simply told the truth.
No longer hiding the chrysanthemum beans and azure green, and finally made a husband and wife in the dyeing workshop.
Yang Jinshan, who was lying in the house, was once again murderous, and he was ready to kill Yang Tianbai.
Fortunately, Tian qing heard the child's crying and hurriedly stopped Yang Jinshan.
Ju Dou was so angry that Tianqing directly strangled Yang Jinshan, and the kind Tianqing never made up his mind.
However, Tianqing's soft heart almost killed his family of three, and in the middle of the night, Yang Jinshan climbed downstairs and prepared to burn the dyeing workshop and burn the Tianqing family.
Fortunately, after some rescue by Judou and Azure, the fire did not spread.
In order to prevent Yang Jinshan from making another bad idea, Tianqing made a wooden barrel for Yang Jinshan.
At this time, Yang Jinshan's initiative was completely lost.
After a few years like this, Tianbai, who was only a few years old, was playing by the pool, and Yang Jinshan had a bad thought again.
He raised the stick in his hand and stabbed at Tianbai, at which time Tianbai suddenly turned around and shouted "Daddy" to Yang Jinshan, which made Yang Jinshan tremble when he heard it.
In just a few minutes, Yang Jinshan changed from being moved to tears to using Tianbai to deal with Ju Dou and his wife.
In front of Ju Dou and Tianqing, Yang Jinshan instigated Tianbai to call out to his father and brother Tianqing, which made the couple angry.
In the blink of an eye, Tianbai's third birthday was celebrated, and a feast was held in the dyeing workshop.
In the face of family power, the etiquette of the elderly and the young has made the couple strange again.
His wife was his aunt, but his son was his own brother, which deeply stung Tianqing's heart.
Ju Dou and Tian Qing are the age of dry firewood, in order not to let things fall out, Ju Dou bought home remedies for contraception.
But I didn't expect to be deceived, the home remedy is actually a bag of chili noodles, the result is that judou is miserable.
On the other hand, his own son also became estranged from himself because of Yang Jinshan's instigation.
The little age of tianbai, but the eyes are full of coldness and hatred.
One day, Yang Jinshan took Tianbai to play by the dyeing pool, but was inadvertently dragged into the dyeing pool by Tianbai.
Yang Jinshan struggled desperately, but at this time, Tianbai, who was on the side, suddenly laughed, laughing so penetratingly.
It didn't take long for Yang Jinshan to drown.
When Tianqing arrived home, he saw Tianbai and Judou kneeling in front of the Spirit Hall dressed in white.
The family elder said that according to the rules, Ju Dou could not remarry, and Tian Qing must also move out of the dye shop.
Early the next morning, the funeral procession set off in a mighty way, and Ju Dou and Tian Qing wore ma dai filial piety and blocked the coffin to show filial piety.
After many years, Tianbai has become a bigger and bigger guy, but his attitude towards Tianqing is still cold.
When Ju Dou and Tianqing were making love, they were accidentally seen by Tianbai, and Tianbai's vicious eyes made the two shudder.
In order not to be seen by Yang Tianbai, the two had to run to the field outside the village to make love.
However, the paper wrapper could not hold the fire, and after a long time, it was discovered by the long workers of the dyeing workshop.
When the long worker was making a big fuss, he was scared away by the sudden arrival of Tianbai.
When he returned home, Tianbai didn't say a word, so he beat up his father.
After Ju Dou saw it, he cursed loudly, and also pointed out the relationship between father and son to Tianbai.
After Tianbai learned the truth, his attitude did not improve, but he took stricter precautions and did not let the two people contact.
One day, taking advantage of the day white, the two hid in the cellar.
When Bai found the two on that day, the two had fainted due to lack of oxygen in the cellar.
The half-grown boy Tianbai rescued Ju Dou, but directly put Tianqing to death and threw the unconscious Tianqing into the dyeing pool.
After learning that Tianqing was killed by her son, Ju Dou's life could no longer be lost, and there was nothing in the world worth her nostalgia for.
Desperate, she burned the entire dyeing workshop, and for Ju Dou, her life was desperate and devastated, and only Xing could bring a moment of joy to Ju Dou and Azure.
The most ruthless character in the movie is probably Yang Tianbai, a small fart. Absolutely fierce enough, when calling the old thing Yang Jinshan "Daddy", he made his father Yang Tianqing and Ju Dou dumbfounded, and at the same time, Yang Jinshan, who was half-dead and in pain, was full of pleasure in revenge, fierce enough.
What was even more cruel was that he was careless when he was playing, pulling Yang Jinshan, who was enjoying himself, down from the pool, and the little rabbit cub who had never laughed from beginning to end, at this time, looking at Old Yang's struggle and laughing even more happily, Old Yang died like this, and it was even more logical to destroy the viciousness of his father.
In fact, children here do not understand things, which may represent what Chinese call "retribution in this world".
The cry of mourning is the finishing touch, and this story gives the scene a lot of black humor, which makes the audience feel particularly interesting.
Of course, this plot has exhausted the hardships of Chinese, living is acting as a show, not acting for yourself, it is acting for others to see, you must be recognized by others, even if you live quite successfully, I think this is the reason why Chinese always feel unfree.
It is the New Year, and stretching face is a compulsory course for many young people of the non-wealthy class, this topic can be deep or shallow, and it is said that Chinese quite practical, but it has never been quite practical in this regard.
But the individual is too humble to succumb to the obscenity of secular morality. You see, after shouting for mourning, the two people crying and sitting on the stone bridge full of money is a face of grievance, poor dripping people.
At the end of the film, fortunately, there is a touch of touching place in the very cold tone: Yang Tianqing gave Ju Dou a mirror and a big red turban, at this time Ju Dou is obviously much older, simply a big mother.
This made the audience sweep away the view that the two only have desire and no feelings, and now what appears here is naked love. Unfortunately, the joy of these two people sneaking is broken by the appearance of their son, foreshadowing the cruelty that follows.
When I was a child, I didn't understand things, and now that I have grown up, I don't represent any "retribution in this world", but I am already Yang Jinshan's ruthless and ruthless space-to-air inheritance. You two gave birth to the flesh of this, but this dye house stained his spirit.
The Yang family is a small dyeing workshop, and China is a large dyeing vat.
