Niu Dadan is the son of a long-term worker. Although he is a poor peasant, he is a courageous and bloody person. He is open-minded, humorous, responsible and has a clear distinction between love and hate. He is the backbone of the family. Because daring overcame natural disasters, it not only achieved a bumper harvest of grain, but also led the whole village to become rich. He is an ordinary farmer with diligence and wisdom, and also a microcosm of farmers in China.
Extended data:
The play was written on the eve of the land reform in 1948, and recorded the development and reform of rural areas in China for more than half a century in 60 episodes, shaping the vivid faces of farmers who grew up from the soil.
The play is not just praise or criticism. It is based on history, based on the roots of farmers, pursuing a panoramic view of the 60-year historical process, and insisting on finding happiness and faith in the ups and downs of history. Different from other peasant dramas, which are keen on parents' short stories and flirting, it can be said that it is the first time since the founding of New China to erect a monument for farmers from a panoramic perspective.
