Brief synopsis: Located in Yongsheng county of Yunnan province is the fertile land of San Chuan Ba, known as the granary of northwest Yunnan province. In every village in the area, there is a girl who remains single and lives in her parents house all her life. They call themselves “chaste girls” but the locals call them “vegetarian girls”. Keeping a “vegetarian girl” at home has been a local custom for over 500 years. Local people believe this is a good way of accumulating merit and prosperous for the family. The selection of a “vegetarian girl” is therefore very strictly controlled. The chosen girl must be healthy, pretty, kind and clever. Once chosen to stay at home, the girl becomes the head of the family who will see her parents to their deaths and bring up her brothers and sisters. “Vegetarian girls” are similar to “self hair comb girls” from Guangdong province who remain single all their life, except they don’t gather and live together like the “self hair comb girls”. Apart from on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month, “vegetarian girls” are allowed to eat meat. In their language, the pronunciation of “meat eating” and its meaning are similar to “getting married”. The real taboo is not eating meat but getting married. The customs of “vegetarian girls” originated during the Ming Dynasty at the end of the 14th century and was extinguished in the middle of the 20th century while Chinese society went through great historical reforms. With a population of 3,000 people, this unique community reached its peak at the birth of the Republic of China. Today there are only about 200 survivors. After the New China was founded, the government showed great respect to local customs and allowed the “vegetarian girls” to maintain their own way of living. However given liberation, independence, freedom and equality, none of the San Chuan Ba girl wanted to be a “vegetarian girl”. The film portrays a unique local custom and reveals a rare cultural phenomenon in the history of the Chinese national marriage culture. The documentary “Vegetarian Girls” is a record of this dying humanistic resource. It faithfully and objectively depicts, in great detail, the experiences of life and thoughts of this special community. It created very deep repercussions amongst audiences and the film industry after it was released.
