Under the Hawthorn Tree Page #3

Synopsis: "Under the Hawthorn Tree" tells the story of Jing, a naive city schoolgirl to be transferred to a remote village for "re-education" during the Cultural Revolution. In China's heavens reigns one solitary God, Mao. Jing's father has been jailed for "rightist" and her mother struggles to feed her three children. Jing knows that both their future and the welfare of her family depend, in view of the authorities, on their good behavior. A small error would be enough to ruin their lives. But Jing's prudent and peaceful existence is disrupted when she condescends to the attentions of Sun, the charming son of an elite military member. Due to the social gap separating them, a romance between them is unthinkable; even more so, dangerous. But the attraction is mutual, powerful and undeniable. Jing tries to resist, but Sun chases her politely, even after she is back to her native city. Love between the two blossoms. It is a pure, passionate and secret love. No one should know, still less her mother

Don't tell mother.

Don't ask.

Fang from Xiping Village brought them to me

I first met you on this day last year.

I thought,

Why does this girl look so sad?

I'm always like this.

Because of your family's political hardship?

My father is a rightist.

He's still in political prison.

My mother is sick.

If I'm sent back to the countryside,

things will be even worse for my family.

Maybe political policies will change

and we won't have to go to the countryside.

That's impossible.

No, it's true.

Even my father will resume work

He asked me to return to the capital

My family wants to introduce a girl

to me for marriage.

Are you going to leave me?
