What happens

Rhapsody of Spring is a 1998 Chinese drama film directed and co-written by Teng Wenji, based on the life of composer Shi Guangnan (1940–1990). Although the protagonist's name has been changed to "Zhao Liming" to accommodate the dramatized plot, most of the songs featured in the film are unmistakably composed by Shi.
