Movie footage of "The Year of Plenty

Like "Spring Silkworms", "A Bountiful Year" depicts a picture of rural bankruptcy in which "the year of abundance has become a disaster, and the year of disaster will be nothing like it".

Screenwriter Ying and director Li Pingqian once went to the Suzhou countryside to experience life, and through their observation of the countryside and contact with the farmers, they developed a desire to make a movie. Director Li Pingqian, with her experience of life, has made some of the images more realistic and full of the flavor of rural life.

The Year of Plenty was censored by the film censorship authorities, and the end of the movie was given a tail that went against the author's original intention: after the peasants started their struggle against the landlords, the "officials" came out to say that both sides should "not go to extremes," which greatly distorted the theme of the movie. This is a great distortion of the theme of the movie.
