Director He Ping’s Wheat takes place during China’s Warring States Period, specifically the conflict between the states of Zhao and Qin. The history books state that Qin was the eventual winner, but those not versed in history should still know about Qin’s dominance since they probably saw how kickass the Qin were in such fine films as Hero, The Emperor and the Assassin, and, yep, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Basically, the Qin won, united China, appointed Qin Shi-Huang as China’s First Emperor, and made the people of Zhao their subjects. Everybody should know that the Qin figuratively and literally ruled.
