"This Thriving Land" is more like a documentary about the hardships faced by farmers dealing with landlords during China's transition from feudalism to the Republican era.
To make matters worse, during the Japanese invasion, the farmers faced a double whammy: the threat of an influx of famine refugees and the confiscation of their crops by the Japanese army.
The primary target audience of this drama is the domestic Chinese market, as it reflects a turbulent period in China's history. During that time, landlords owned most of the land, and tenants gradually began to rebel. If I am not mistaken, in today's era, the super-rich still hold the majority of the wealth, while Chinese office and factory workers are often required to work six days a week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., under the 996 work system.
The performances of all the actors and actresses were outstanding, and the storyline captivated the audience.
I binge-watched this drama.
