Sinopsis
La historia tiene lugar en la casa de la familia Dai, arruinada tras la guerra, y cuenta lo ocurrido durante una primavera a los restantes miembros de la familia Dai, una vez próspera. El marido y patriarca, Li-Yan, está enfermo y pasa sus días en el jardín, envuelto por la nostalgia de un pasado glorioso. Su matrimonio con Yu-Wen ha devenido sin amor, aunque ambos todavía se preocupan el uno por el otro y, muy particularmente ella, cuida de él debido a que su enfermedad lo limita. Sis, La hermana de Li-Yan, es una adolescente de 16 años, demasiado joven para recordar el pasado y sentir tristeza por él, y se mantiene alegre y lúdica en las ruinas de su casa.
En medio de esta existencia triste, tediosa y vacía, llega de visita un día un viejo amigo de Li-Yan, Zhang Zhiche, ahora médico de Shanghai. Zhang fue prometido de la actual esposa de Li-Yan, Yu-Wen, y la llama del amor pasado amenaza con renacer. Ellos se debaten entre el deber moral en sus actuales vidas y el torrente pasional que puede surgir si su antigua relación renaciese.

Taking place in a ruined family compound after the war, the film tells the story of the once prosperous Dai family. The husband and patriarch, Dai Liyan (Shi Yu) is an invalid, and spends his days in the courtyard nostalgic for the past. His marriage to Zhou Yuwen (Wei Wei) has long been rendered loveless, though both still feel concern for the other. Liyan's young teenage sister Dai Xiu (Zhang Hongmei), meanwhile, is too young to remember the past, and stays cheerful and playful in the ruins of her home. Into this dreary but unchanging existence comes Liyan's childhood friend Zhang Zhichen (Li Wei), a doctor from Shanghai and a former flame of Zhou Yuwen before she ever met her husband. The rest of the film details Zhou Yuwen's conflicting emotions between her love for Zhang, and her loyalty to her husband and his family. Spring in a Small Town was rejected by the Communists as rightist or reactionary, and was quickly forgotten by those on the mainland following the Communist victory in China in 1949. Beginning in the 1980s, however, the film had a resurgance in popularity after languishing in Communist archives for several decades. Today it is considered one of the classics of Chinese film, with the Hong Kong Film Awards Association naming it the greatest Chinese film ever made in 2005. In 2002, the film was remade by Tian Zhuangzhuang as Springtime in a Small Town.
