Summary

"In the beginning of the century, a country Han girl is being sacrificed to a river god. Rescued first by her brother and then in a twist of fate by an old Tibetan woman, Zhen begins her new life taking the name of Snow Dawa, and slowly falls in love with Gesong, the Tibetan woman's son. The young couple later save two men buried in an avalanche. These two men have very different views about the future of Tibet. One finds the kindness, hospitality, and purity in the nature of the Tibetans overwhelming. The other is intent upon bringing civilization to Tibet by "liberating" the Tibetan people. "Red River Valley", shot against the epic scale of the beautiful Tibetan landscape, provokes thoughts about the similarities of different cultures on opposite sides of the Earth, and why liberation and civilization begin with massacre."--Container
