Four independent stories set in modern China about random acts of violence.
Set in the eponymous White Deer Village in Shaanxi Province where the two most important families – Bai and Lu – and their sons have always lived together in peace. But the turmoil leads to a fierce struggle for land ownership. A young woman new to the village soon finds herself caught between the two camps. Director Liu Jin uses the story of these two families as a metaphor for the fate of the Chinese people as first Chinese war lords are overrun by Japanese invaders, then civil war follows hot on the heels of the Second World War and finally the victorious Maoists begin waving their red flags. The drama is based off the novel by Chen Zhong Shi.
Due to government shuffle during the reign of Wu Zetian, the ambitious Di Renjie was relegated to a remote town in the east. Di showed extraordinary talent in case-solving, but as he probed further, more and more secrets were revealed. He embarked on a nationwide journey and solved many mysterious cases. In the end, he returned to Chang'an and reunited with his father. Together, they tackled a crisis that threatened peace and order.
