In May 1950, the newly born People's Republic of China promulgated and implemented the Marriage Law.
The news reached Xia Village in Huaxian County (fictional), and the villagers who had lived on this land for generations were confused: What?
Gender equality?
The men burst into flames: The horses I bought from my wives are at my command and I can beat them!
The women nodded in agreement: if it's a cat, it catches mice, if it's a man, it's the man who makes the decision.
Marriage autonomy?
The ancestors of the clan quit the job: parents ordered the matchmaker to say that a martyr girl should not marry a second husband, but she must accept her fate after marrying him. This is the way of keeping a woman.
Freedom to divorce?
Village Accountant: Let me tell you quietly, this is a divorce law that teaches your wife to run away and makes you stay single for the rest of your life.
Village head Xia Dahan: Whoever dares to promote the divorce law will have their legs broken.
The new marriage law is floundering in Summer Village.
In 1953, 25-year-old Jing Hongying accepted the organization's arrangement and came to Xiacun to serve as the village women's director, promoting the promotion and implementation of the marriage law.
Intention: Don't take the wrong path, don't turn back.
