- Summary:
- Jasmin, an 'Urban Youth' girl from Beijing, is sent to this remote village in Mongolia. Her parents were beaten to death by the Red Guards after she reported their 'wrong doings' to the authority. A simple, warm-hearted village girl Shanhua takes Jasmin under her protection and they become intimate friends and vow to be together forever. An incident occurs that parallels the 'wrong doings' of Jasmin's parents. But nothing happens to Jasmin despite the fact that the village director caught her in the act of desecrating Mao's image. Jasmin becomes resentful towards Shanhua's unexplainable pregnancy. She learns the truth but it is too late. One of them must die and one must live her life out in the village.
