Plot background: Director Diao Guangtan, Lin Zhaohua; starring Lin Liankun.The dog's name is related to the land. His father once swallowed a puppy in a bet to win a piece of land, so he won this nickname for his son.The dog's obsession with the land is no less than that of his father. During the war of liberation, the whole village fled. Only the dog was reluctant to part with the mature crops and snatched the sesame seeds from the landlord's field. For this reason, He lost his wife.

After the land reform in the countryside, Master Gou got his own land and livestock, and also got the landlord's high gate building. He married the young and beautiful little widow Jin Hua, and the family lived a happy life.He began to dream of being a landlord, buying a large number of other people's land, and hiring the landlord to write a land purchase contract for him.He also took the landlord's private seal and claimed to change it to his own name.Unexpectedly, cooperatives began to be implemented in the countryside, and all means of production were owned by the collective.Although the dog master followed the crowd, he was quite unwilling in his heart. Later, he became depressed and became mentally confused.In a trance, the landlord who was beaten to death during the Cultural Revolution often appeared beside him, mocking him that his dream of being a landlord was hard to come true.In order to show his ability, Master Gou lived alone on the hillside, reclaimed wasteland, and planted crops.Reluctantly, someone came to "cut the tail of capitalism" and forcibly deprived him of the right to cultivate his own land, which made the dog even more obsessed.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the household contract system was implemented in rural areas.Although the dog is old, his ambition is not diminished, and his hope of life is still pinned on the land.But his son wants to tear down the high gate building, build roads and open mines.The dog master was very indignant, struck a match, and burned his land dream together with the high gate building. Plot summary: The dog's big name is Chen Hexiang.It was only because his father ate a puppy alive in a bet with others to win two acres of land, and even cost his own life, that the protagonist in the play got such an indecent title.

Before liberation, when the cannon was fired, all the rich and poor in the village ran away, but the dog who gave up his life and money took his stuff and went into the crop field.Looking at the overripe crops all over the ground, this farmer who had been poor for generations gritted his teeth, swiped his sickle, and happily chopped down 20 acres of good sesame seeds owned by the landlord Qi Yongnian.Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law was killed by a shell while fleeing, and left her son Chen Dahu to him. After the war, Qi Yongnian fled and returned to the village, and called the door to ask him to return the sesame seeds.Grandpa Dog One? ?Bun, "Sesame is bought by the master with his life at the gun. When the cannon fires, you get lost, and I am the landlord!" Indeed, this poor man even dreamed of losing himself with Qi Yongnian, dreaming that one day he could also Live in the tall gate building of Qi's house.With the help of his poor buddy Su Lianyu, he married Feng Jinhua, a pretty nineteen-year-old widow.During the land reform, the dog got the land, bought "Chrysanthemum Green", tied it to a cart, and became the owner of this gatehouse overnight.The little days after turning over made Gouer Yemei dizzy.

In the era of "big bang" in work, the land, carts and "chrysanthemum green" all belonged to the big pile.Grandpa Dog is crazy.Poor poor woman Jin Hua.Later, the commune sentenced them to "divorce", and Jinhua reluctantly left the dog's father and remarried to the village chief Li Wanjiang.After many years of ups and downs, Chen Dahu, who has grown up, has married Qi Yongnian's daughter.Master Dog still misses his life-like land, and finally simply lived on the Fengshui slope, plowing wasteland by himself, hoping for a good harvest in autumn.In autumn, Li Wanjiang went up the mountain again to cut off the dog's tail.Jin Hua stood up and complained for the dog master.

Li Wanjiang went to Fengshuipo for the second time, and then allocated land to the dog master, and sent "chrysanthemum green".The ecstatic dog master suddenly woke up, and at this moment he thought of Jin Hua... The spring breeze blows into this small village by the mountains.Chen Dahu and his wife planned to set up a dolomite factory in their yard, and they just waited for the bulldozer to arrive tomorrow to bulldoze his family's dilapidated building that obstructed traffic.The dog master tried his best to stop him, and slapped his son on the face: "Rebel!" "Tomorrow", it is difficult for Master Dog to understand this coming moment.He cast the torch on the pyre below the gate.

Amidst the roar of bulldozers, the morning glow appeared in the sky... Evaluation: "The Nirvana of the Dog" profoundly reflects the psychological complexity of Chinese peasants, not only the mental trauma brought to them by the "left" political movement, but also the strong impact of new social changes on peasants' old and outdated ideas.In terms of drama structure, the method of cross-use of stream of consciousness and flashback is used to construct the plot, and the method of psychological externalization is used to highlight the deep psychology of the characters.
