Wang Yanmei

Centers around experiments on a disembodied, living female head. This is one of only a small handful of horror films produced by Mainland China in the 80s since genre films were banned there until the late 80s.

The protagonist, Juxiang, is a very ambitious rural girl. However, her destiny is not to live easy life. After graduating from high school, she was recommended to go to university, but someone replaces her. She is fierce and capable, and is leading her natal family, but she is squeezed out by her unmarried sister-in-law. In order not to affect her brother's marriage, she declared in front of the villagers that she would marry herself within fifteen days. They asked her to meet Li Dazhu, but the man is too honest and almost useless. At a glance, he fell in love with capable Li Erzhu. Later, Dazhu shows more and more generosity, sincerity, and down-to-earth nature, while Erzhu's narrow-mindedness and impetuousness proved that Juxiang still misjudged him. After Juxiang gots married, she is not satisfied with the status quo of family poverty. She works hard to make the family live a better life.
