There is something this movie dared not to mention

The literal translation of the title of this film is: The Rhythm of Fighting the Drought

This movie is based on the true story of the real life and gives an accurate depiction of how peasants had successfully fought the drought.  However, the movie is not complete because there is something it dared not to mention: The cause of the drought, which is the direct result of Mao's disastrous Great Leap Forward political movement during which trees were cut down and the natural environment was shattered.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.
