What happens
Reclaim Wasteland is a 1926 Chinese silent film directed by Wang Yuanlong who also starred in it. It is one of the earliest Chinese films that have survived, although a portion is missing. The story celebrates free love among young rural people. Wang conscientiously focused on traditional Chinese cultures, but while the film received positive reviews, it flopped at the Shanghai box office, leading Wang to conclude that "Our fellow countrymen had a strong admiration for the West."
