The story begins in hell, where Lord Yama, king of the underworld, is examining a landowner named Ximen Nao, who was executed so that his land could be redistributed to peasants. Since Ximen will not admit any guilt, Yama punishes him by sending him back to his own farm, where he is reborn first as a donkey, then an ox, pig, dog and monkey. Through the perspectives of these animals, Ximen narrates 50 years of rural Chinese history.
