Among the characters affected are Kai, a beautiful radio announcer who is married to a man from a powerful family Tong, a lonely seven-year-old boy and Nini, a hungry young girl. Neither of them imagines that their daughter's death will have profound and far-reaching effects, in Muddy River and beyond. While Gu Shan's distraught mother makes bold decisions, her father begins to retreat into memories.
Now a political prisoner, she is to be executed for her dissent. As morning dawns on the provincial city of Muddy River, a spirited young woman, Gu Shan, once a devoted follower of Chairman Mao, has renounced her faith in Communism.
