"Plateau Woman" describes Han Chunhua, a Hui woman from the Qinghai area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, who met and fell in love with her lover Xie Yingying. Just when the two were about to get married, their fiancé died on the battlefield, and the two were separated forever. In order to alleviate the pain of the elderly Xie family, the kind-hearted Han Chunhua agreed to the proposal of Xie Yingming's brother Xie Yingming.
After getting married, Han Chunhua respected the elderly and supported the Xie family brothers and sisters. Relying on his own efforts, he went from being a temporary worker in a carpet factory to a regular worker. He, his husband Xie Yingming, and his best friend Sun Chuanfang worked in different factories in the same compound. Faced with the closure of factories one after another, the three of them started over.
Her sister-in-law passed away due to dystocia, so Han Chunhua resolutely took over her daughter Xie Jingyi, who was less than one month old, to raise her. Han Chunhua became pregnant when Xie Jingyi was less than one year old. Because she did not have the energy to take care of two young children at the same time, Han Chunhua chose to have an abortion, which resulted in physical injuries. Han Chunhua never complained about the unfairness of fate, and went through all kinds of hardships to raise Jingyi. During this period, she suffered a serious illness, and the Xie brothers and sisters took turns taking care of her until she fully recovered.
Han Chunhua in "Above the Plateau" is like a flower on the plateau, resolute, tolerant, stern, but very kind at heart. These kind-hearted people, no matter how hard life is, are moving forward step by step, walking upward, towards the higher reaches of the plateau.
