This movie is based on Amy's novel Love in Hawthorn Tree, which is a romantic movie directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Shawn Dou and Zhou Dongyu. The film broke the box office record of domestic literary films. In the film, the heroine's mother forbids having a love relationship with the hero for her daughter to go to school and have a job, which reflects the social atmosphere of that era from one side. Although in such a society, the heroine still dares to break through the atmosphere and has an unforgettable love story with the hero.

The ending of the story refreshed us and gave us a shocking feeling. Although this kind of love is not satisfactory, it is the best for both sides. The purest and most sincere love of that era is dripping and exquisite in this film, which gives the audience a spiritual shock and can't help but recall myself when I was young.
