In the years between the end of the Cultural Revolution and the uprising at Tiananmen Square, China has begun to hope again and Wang Cai Ling has a dream: an opera singer from the provinces, she is going to become the star of the Beijing Opera. Will her dream be stronger than the reality surrounding her?
Director
Gu Changwei (1957) attended the Beijing Film Academy. Together with classmates like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang, he was part of the renowned Fifth Generation that revolutionized Chinese cinema. A legendary director of photography, Gu's works include Chen Kaige's Ba wang bie ji (Farewell My Concubine, 1993), Zhang Yimou's Hong gao liang (Red Sorghum, 1987) or Jiang Wen's Yangguang Canlan de Rizi (In the Heat of the Sun, 1994). Hollywood took notice of his talent and he worked on Robert Altman's The Gingerbread Man and Anthony Drazan's Hurlyburly. In 1993, Gu's first feature film, Kong que (Peacock), won the Silver Bear award in Berlin Film Festival. Li Chun (And The Spring Comes) is his second feature film as a director.
