Fei Mu's Spring in a Small Town is a subtle masterpiece - and has been cited as being the greatest Chinese film of all time. Yuwen is a dutiful wife who tends to her ailing husband Liyan without complaint (except in voiceover narration). The two were once a rather prosperous family, but Liyan has been sick now for the past 6 years. They live in a rural village with Liyan's younger sister Meimei and old Huang - the ever observant servant. Life here is rather uneventful and mundane, but there is a change when they get a visit from Zhichen - a man who used to live in the village and has now moved on to become a big city doctor. Zhichen is best friends with Liyan, a former flame to Yuwen, and a thing of fascination to Meimei. The film moves slowly and captures looks or gestures outlining how an individual can impact a place or time in not so much a way that is seen, but perhaps more felt by the characters or inhabitants. It certainly adheres to Communist tenets, but also one that has a universal theme. A film to be savoured.

Spring in a Small Town uses this schematic to build a tight, emotionally tense triangular drama that questions fidelity, suppressed emotions and the balance of love and responsibility.

All time favorite! How come Mr. Fei can make such a master-piece in 1940s!!!

This is a classic from Chinese cinema. A dutiful wife married to a sickly man gets a visit from her husband's childhood best friend....who also happens to be her high school sweetheart and true love. What could have been a sappy, standard-issue sentimental weepie flick is of course given an artistic and emotional treatment. The third act in particular is spectacular. It takes a while to get there but once it does, it hits hard. This is "In the Mood for Love" before "In the Mood for Love".

Atmospheric, tense and intimate, Fei Mu's Xiao cheng zhi chun became a major source of inspiration for the fifth generation of Chinese directors in the eighties. The drama of the narrative is further enhanced by deep symbolism and lighting effects. The dilemma of the love triangle is never reduced to mere eroticism, but presented mainly as an ethical problem. Fei Mu sadly soon disappeared into oblivion, but the charismatic actress Wei Wei went on to have a successful acting carreer starring in numerous classic Hong Kong movies.
