About Beautiful Homeland
In the mid-1950s Henan countryside, communist youth league member Xian Yue responds to the call of the county committee, signing up to participate in the youth commando team, as do the little sisters. Laoxin Yue and other elders firmly oppose the women going up the mountain, think it it is nonsense, unlucky and so on. In response to the feudal remnants of the discussion, Xian Yue does not compromise, carrying out a face-to-face struggle and eventually leading the commando members up the mountain.
Directed by Wang Ping, Beautiful Homeland leans on a strong ensemble — Tian Hua, Liu Lei, Li Yan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1959.
