The Story of Qiu Ju is a 1992 Chinese comedy-drama film. The film was directed by Zhang Yimou and, as in many of his films, stars Gong Li in the title role. The screenplay is an adaptation of Chen Yuanbin's novella, "The Wan Family's Lawsuit." The film was a hit at film festivals and won the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival in 1992. 

The film tells the story of a peasant woman, Qiu Ju, who lives in a rural area of China. When her husband is kicked in the groin by the village head, Qiu Ju, despite her pregnancy, travels to a nearby town, and later a big city to deal with its bureaucrats and find justice.

“A pregnant peasant woman's tenacious fight for justice …”
