1930s China: a young woman is sent to marry a leprous winemaker, who mercifully soon dies, leaving her with a drunken lover and prey to bandits or the invading Japanese army.

Superb evocation of a terrifying era, full of the formal strokes typical of the director, and with a great central performance from Li, so often the epitome of feminine courage and resourcefulness.
