White Camel

Overview

The film tells the story of the early 1960s when a three-year-long natural disaster swept across China. Thousands of orphans were brought to the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, where they were assigned to live with local herders to get through the difficult times. Su Rina, through frugality, ensured the children could attend school. For the sake of the children, she rejected the sincere love of Kaba. One snowy night, the children were awakened by a faint sound. They ran out of their yurt and rescued a dying little white camel. From then on, the white camel grew up alongside the children.
