About Sesame Official
During the Ming Jiajing era, Deputy General Du Shiqing journeys to Baoding to expose the crimes of Madam Yan, sister of the treacherous minister Yan Song. He rescues Lin Xiuying from Yan’s son Cheng Xiniu, whose death in the struggle forces Du to help Xiuying pursue justice. When Madam Yan’s retainers avenge her by murdering Xiuying’s father, the upright magistrate Tang Cheng bravely hears the case despite political pressure. Through clear evidence and fearless judgment, Tang Cheng exposes Madam Yan’s abuses and sends her to the capital for imperial review.
Directed by Tian Xie, Sesame Official leans on a strong ensemble — Jiang Jingyu, Niu Decao, Xicheng Tang — 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 comedy titles of 1980.
