If you consider yourself a young man of literature and art, you must watch beginning of spring, because it tells the stories of several ordinary people who pursue art; If you consider yourself a young artist, you'd better not watch beginning of spring, because it is really cruel to you. -Akai

"After beginning of spring, there is actually no sign of spring in this city, but the wind is really different. It seems to get warm and humid overnight. When the wind blows, I want to cry. I know I was moved by myself. "

The film begins with Wang Cailing's monologue, from which we can observe her soft literary heart. Wang Cailing is a music teacher in a small city normal college, but she is not willing to be mediocre. She wants to go out of the town, go to Beijing and even Paris, and sing on the stage of Beijing and Paris Grand Theatre.

"Such a beautiful voice can be sung from such an ugly person?" This is what Huang said when he first met Wang Cailing. Although the words are ugly, the reason is the same. Wang Cailing (Jiang) has prominent buck teeth, acne and black spots on her face. She walks outside untidily. In her own words, she has a good voice and can sing.

However, Wang Cailing has a dream and doesn't want to waste her life. In order to get out of the small city, she bought a Beijing hukou at a large price and recommended herself to the Central Conservatory of Music from time to time. She has been working hard, singing hard, learning Italian by herself, making money and enriching her literary accomplishment. ......

She seldom associates with others. She lives in her own dream, so she becomes an alternative in others' eyes: so ugly and so lofty. In order to give others a reason and give herself a motivation, she made up a lie about going to Beijing for further study, but this beautiful lie brought her disaster. ......

Wang Cailing didn't realize her dream in the end, but that doesn't mean her dream was shattered. She took her adopted daughter Fan Xiao to sit on the floor of Tiananmen Square. Under her lost expression, her dream was obviously hidden. This is a seed buried in my heart, which will sprout one day, or fight for myself, or send hope to my daughter.

At the end of the play, a grand performance was staged in Wang Cailing's mind. She finally stood on the stage of Beijing Grand Theatre and sang loudly with the accompaniment of the band.

This is a gift from Wang Cailing and a special gift from director Gu Changwei.

Wang Cailing disdains to stay in this small town and doesn't even want to have love in this city, so although she is no longer young, she is still a virgin.

Regardless of Wang Cailing's looks and talents, she has been bravely pursuing art and love. "Eating a peach is better than eating a basket of rotten apricots" is her love creed. In the play, three men came into her life, Huang, Zhou Yuhe. Unfortunately, nothing came of it. Finally, Wang Cailing went to the welfare home to adopt a 2-year-old girl.

Huang, a literary youth in his twenties, has long hair peculiar to painters. After five years of examination, I still didn't get into the Central Academy of Painting. I heard that Wang Cailing often went to Beijing for further study, so she found the door. "As soon as I see someone leaving the city with a leather bag, I envy him, no matter where he goes." Huang is also a literary youth who wants to escape, which coincides with Wang Cailing.

"Will you love me forever?"

"Color ling, does your zha pull to this top? I never thought about it. Are you misunderstood? "

"You really didn't touch me, even for a moment?"

"I respect you very much. I have always regarded you as a buddy. "

"You treat me like a buddy because I'm ugly. I don't think I'm ugly. I'm just a little weird. "

Wang Cailing fell in love with Huang. She was willing not to open a Beijing hukou for Huang, but she was helpless and deliberately heartless. This relationship ended before it officially started.

Knowing that she fled to Shenzhen, Cai Ling attempted suicide, and Zhou Yu found the door. Zhou Yu looks like a rough man, but he is actually soft-hearted. He was attracted by Wang's beautiful singing and decided to pursue her.

"Oh, you see, I've been cooking for so many years and I haven't got a decent one yet. Our conditions are not so good. We are all old, so let's live honestly. "

"That I also tell you seriously, Zhou Yu. I would rather have a bite of Xiantao than a basket of rotten apricots. "

As a result, Zhou Yu was on a whim and returned disappointed.

Hu Jinquan, who likes ballet, has been dancing in the dark for more than ten years. He is a young artist who devoted himself to art, but because of his sexual orientation and other reasons, he has become a "cold potato" in people's mouths, an unsolved case in his heart, and even a scandal in this city.

"I always thought that the city would get used to me after a long time, but I found that I was stuck in many people's throats like a fishbone. I am really a monster, like six fingers. "

"Cai Ling, let's fake marriage. Actually, nothing will happen. "

Cai Ling refused his proposal, and he would rather not have such a marriage.

Wang Cailing is not only noble in pursuing her dreams, but also arrogant in treating love. She won't marry herself hastily because of other people's eyes and secular pressure. If she can't find the right person, she would rather not marry.

At the end of the film, three young artists in this small town failed to realize their original dreams, or lost to reality, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

After returning from Shenzhen, Bos opened a marriage agency and became a slick liar. In order to prove his sexual orientation, Hu Jinquan openly molested students and was jailed for attempted rape. Wang Cailing quit her teacher, set up a meat stall, adopted a little girl with rabbit lips, and became a normal person.

In the early days of mankind, there was no such thing as self. In order to survive, everyone must unite and cooperate and have the same goal. With the progress of society, survival is no longer a difficult task, and people begin to have self-awareness and pursue individuality.

This story happened in a relatively backward small city in the early 1990s. Opera, oil painting and ballet are all difficult to accept, and their distinctive personalities are widely rejected.

After 30 years, people will have more understanding and tolerance when they look at this story from the present perspective. Although the personality is too strong, it is still not easy to integrate into this society, but there is still some progress compared with before. I believe that in the future, people will advocate the development of human personality more and let everyone work hard for their dreams.

We are all little people who work hard to realize our dreams, but some people succeed, some fail, some are frustrated, and some give up halfway. But in any case, you shouldn't laugh at those who are still fighting for their ideals.
