Adapted from Yang Zhengguang's novel "The Old Lady is a Tree." Produced by the Xi'an Television and Film Company, the 24-episode TV series "The Old Lady is a Tree" is a synthesis based on three of Yang Zhengguang's novels: "The Gambler," "The Coffin Shop," and "The Old Lady is a Tree." The drama has a strong Western flavor and typical ancient cultural characteristics of the West, both in form and content. The characters, including various tough guys, gamblers, bandits, farmers, and wives, struggle against heavy feudal shackles and fight against fate on the barren lands of the Loess Plateau. The characters in the drama have distinct personalities, vivid language, and a rich, ancient style, vividly portraying the warmth and coldness of human life, ignorance, and cunning. Plot One: The widow Gancao is deeply in love with the swordsman Badun, while the small vendor "Camel" loves the widow Gancao. The swordsman Badun is coerced by the bandit Ma Jiu and cannot live a good life with Gancao, so he decides to eliminate the bandit Ma Jiu and designs a life-and-death gamble with Ma Jiu. In order for the woman he loves to have the life she desires, the small vendor "Camel" sacrifices himself to kill Ma Jiu, giving the swordsman Badun a chance to live. Plot Two: The bandit Yang Mingyuan, who should be in the coffin business, provokes trouble between the Li and Hu families to expand his business, resulting in a death. However, he is exposed by the old lady (Badun), leading to a bloody battle. Plot Three: The old lady (Badun) and Gancao painfully exchange the last memento left by the "Camel" brothers—a camel—for a woman named Huanhuan to become their daughter-in-law. The family is thrilled at the prospect of a better life, but the beastly desires of the trafficker Zhao Zhen shatter their dreams. He brutally violates Huanhuan, and to maintain their family's dignity and self-respect, another dispute begins. The result is unsatisfactory, and the old lady is angrily transformed into a tree
