Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yellow Earth begins with showing a communist soldier walking several miles. He reaches a small village where he is assigned to live with a poor family with the task of recording local folk songs for use in the army later. He learns the hardships of peasant life and especially of that of a peasant girl named Cui Qiao. The story then focuses on the girl, who at only age 14 is forced to marry a significantly older man as her wedding dowry was used to pay for her mother''s funeral and brother''s engagement. The communist soldier "Brother Gu" attempts to dissuade Cui Qiao from running off and joining the CCP, but recognizes her despair. This is an allegory to the CCP and communism in general being unable to save all peasants from their fates. After her marriage, Qiao crosses the Yellow River at night. Her fate is unknown. The story then fast forwards to a rain dance being performed by the villagers, as the land has dried up and peoples'' crops have died.
