There is no grass growing on the deserted beach deep in the Gobi. Only Elaeagnus jujube trees are embedded in the yellow sand, and every early summer they bloom with fine white flowers. There are centuries-old myths circulating in the local area: Elaeagnus will bloom, and an orphan girl will be married to the sand as a bride. The missing person will disappear out of thin air, leaving no bones.
The orphan girl Zaohua is the only one who survived the flowering period. Her parents were mysteriously "swept away" by the wind when the Elaeagnus was in full bloom many years ago. The whole village unanimously believed that this was fate. Every year when the flowering season comes, the villagers closely monitor her and put pressure on her. The mute old man guards the old jujube tree at the head of the village and always uses the shadow of the tree and fallen flowers to secretly give her cryptic signals.
A young man who came from outside to fight desertification strayed into an isolated village. He did not believe in the rumors of ghosts and ghosts, and found that the unified rhetoric of the whole village was all deliberately disguised. Zaohua relied on the unique traces of the Elaeagnus jujube tree and the bark marks left by the mute old man to work together with the young man to peel off the cocoon. The white and fragrant scent of Elaeagnus angustifolia is never a God-given vision, but a disguise to cover up murders and bury evidence. The so-called marriage in the sand is a sacrificial scam that has been passed down from generation to generation in the village and is shielded by everyone.
When the trees and flowers bloom again, the bloody truth hidden under the yellow sand for hundreds of years will eventually be completely torn apart by this stubborn Elaeagnus elf in the wilderness.
Purpose: Using Gobi jujube flowers as an image, it exposes the evil of human nature that is sheltered by isolated villages, tells the story of an orphan girl who escapes the fate of sacrifice and pursues the truth, praises the tenacity and sobriety of life in desperate situations, and breaks the twisted ignorant habits under feudal superstition.
