Add to a movie listSons of Good Earth (Da di er nu) est un film hongkongais réalisé par King Hu, sorti en 1965.
Il se déroule durant la période de l'invasion de la Chine par les Japonais. Il bénéficia de moyen importants et d'un casting prestigieux, les acteurs Peter Chen Ho et Betty Loh Ti étant à l'époque deux des plus grandes stars de la Shaw Brothers.
Le film connut des problèmes de distribution à Singapour et en Malaisie, où il fut en partie censuré en raison de son sujet (la législation locale prohibant les thèmes liés aux conflits raciaux) ; il fut ainsi un échec commercial, ce qui entraina l'annulation du tournage du film censé être le suivant de King Hu, Heroes of Underground, qui reprenait les mêmes thèmes.
Il reçut cependant un succès critique, notamment à Taïwan où il reçut plusieurs prix au Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards en 1966 (meilleur scénario, meilleur montage, prix spécial pour l'esprit national).

Dans la Chine de la dynastie Ming, le Supérieur du monastère bouddhique de San Pao (Trois Joyaux) doit se choisir un successeur. Parmi les hauts dignitaires invités pour l’assister dans cette lourde tâche, certains convoitent ardemment le parchemin inestimable abrité par le Temple : les soutras du Mahayana écrits par Xuan Zang. Mensonges, trahisons, tentatives de vols et meurtres accompagnent les cérémonies d’intronisation. Mais finalement seule la voie du Bouddha prévaudra.

A stranger arrives in town wanting his portrait painted by Ku, but his real objective is to bring a female fugitive back to the city for execution on behalf of the East Chamber guards. The fugitive, Yang, is befriended by Ku and together they plot against the corrupt Eunuch Wei who wants to eradicate all trace of her family after her father attempts to warn the Emperor of the eunuch's corruption.
