Adapted from Yang Zhengguang's novel "The Old Lady is a Tree." The 24-episode television series "The Old Lady is a Tree," produced by Xi'an Television and Film Company, is based on three novels by Yang Zhengguang: "The Gambler," "The Coffin Shop," and "The Old Lady is a Tree." The show features strong western flavor in both form and content, with typical characteristics of simple and ancient western culture. The various characters such as tough men, gamblers, bandits, farmers, and wives live in the barren lands of the Loess Plateau, burdened by heavy feudal shackles, and they fiercely struggle against their fate. The characters in the series possess distinct personalities, vivid dialogue, and a pure, rustic charm, showcasing the warmth and coldness of humanity, as well as ignorance and cunning.
Plot One: The widow Licorice deeply loves the swordsman Badun, while the small vendor "Camel" loves the widow Licorice. Swordsman Badun is threatened by the bandit Ma Jiu, preventing him from living a good life with Licorice. Badun decides to eliminate the bandit Ma Jiu, planning a knife duel with him. To help the woman he loves achieve the life she dreams of, "Camel" sacrifices himself to kill Ma Jiu, giving Badun a chance at life.
Plot Two: The bandit Yang Mingyuan, who is supposed to be in the coffin business, provokes conflict involving the Li and Hu families, resulting in a death. But he is exposed by the old lady (Badun), leading to a bloody battle.
Plot Three: The old lady (Badun) and Licorice painfully exchange the only keepsake left by the "Camel" brothers—a camel—for a woman in distress named Huanhuan to become their daughter-in-law. The prospect of a better life excites the whole family, but the beastly desires of the dealer Zhao Zhen shatter the old lady's family's dreams. He brutally assaults Huanhuan, and in order to maintain their dignity and face, the old lady (Badun) gets into another dispute, which leads to unsatisfactory results, and the old lady angrily transforms into a big tree.&*&vod_class: Action, Western
