Warm Spring

In the late 1980s, a remote mountain village in the north. The girl Xiaohua (played by Qi Ruyi) lost her parents and grandmother and became an orphan. Later, although she was adopted by the village chief and a certain family, she lived a life of humiliation and tears all day long. She had no choice but to escape from the village where she was born. When she arrived near Shaoyao Village, Xiaohua collapsed from exhaustion and hunger and was rescued by villagers she met on the way. Although the villagers felt pity for her as a wild baby, they were unwilling to adopt her for fear of adding to their already heavy burden of life. The elderly father Baozhu (played by Tian Chengren) is a kind-hearted old man. He is afraid that something will happen to the already dying Xiaohua. Regardless of the objections of Baozhu (played by Yu Weijie) and his daughter-in-law Vanilla (played by Hao Yang), he silently carries her back home. The grandparents and grandchildren who are not related by blood begin to live together. Because Vanilla is infertile, she regards Xiao Hua as a thorn in her side. However, no matter how hard-hearted she is, it is hard for her to be gradually melted by the warmth and tears of an unusually sensible and kind-hearted girl.
