Wild Spring Breeze

In the winter of 1978, Shen Zhichun, an educated youth from Beijing, was sent to the Loess Plateau of northern Shaanxi. When he was about to die from a high fever, he was saved by the barefoot doctor He Ye, a "second-rate man" in the village. One is a city girl who is full of poems and books but has no power to tie a chicken, and the other is a country man who has never been to school but can memorize the entire "Compendium of Materia Medica". In the barren cave dwelling, they keep each other warm: she teaches him to read and read, and he steals eggs for her, draws spring scenes, and wards off rumors. The two hearts got closer and closer, but they fell apart due to a misunderstanding - when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came, she thought he didn't love her and left overnight; he broke his leg chasing a car and was wrongly imprisoned for three years for "hooliganism". All the letters she sent were withheld. He survived in the darkness by relying on more than 300 replies he wrote to her. In 1985, Shen Zhichun, who was already an executive of a foreign trade company, returned to his hometown for inspection and saw He Ye, the director of "Yechun Pharmaceutical Factory" on the list of township enterprises. He wears a suit but walks with a slight limp, and she is glamorous but suffers from stomach problems. The old cave dwelling is still there, with mottled spring scenery on the walls, and more than 300 replies have finally seen the light of day. However, times have presented them with another problem: his pharmaceutical factory is facing a foreign acquisition, and her company is the representative of the acquirer; the widow who falsely accused him back then has returned with her son, and she is also pursued by her childhood sweetheart, a Hong Kong businessman.
