Springtime in a Small Town Chinese pinyin Xiochng zh chn is a 2002 Chinese film directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang. The film is a remake of director Fei Mus 1948 film, Spring in a Small Town. Though the two movies are referred to by different English titles, they share the same title in Chinese.
The film follows Fei Mus original fairly closely. Zhang Zhichen Xin Baiqing, a city doctor, comes to visit his old friend from school Dai Liyan Wu Jun shortly after the war against the Japanese has ended. Dai is sickly although Zhang suspects it to be mainly a case of hypochondria. While visiting, he meets Liyans wife, Yuwen Hu Jingfan and Liyans young teenage sister Dai Xiu Lu Sisi.Zhang and Yuwen has had a passionate love affair ten years earlier before she had been engaged to marry her husband. Due to her husbands sickness however, the couple has ceased any real physical contact. With Zhang back, both Yuwen and the doctor find themselves again attracted to one another. ........
