About
"Springs of Life" is a story that begins in the '50s and one that spans over a period of 30 years. The dramedy is a rare mix of humour and seriousness as it depicts the lives and culture of the people during the era.
The story uses a medical hall as its backdrop and tells the story of Da Pao, a young entrepreneur who is willing to take risks where no one else dares to. He is inspired when he learns of a secret medical recipe for medical oil, and cracks his head to market the product. The story also includes the interesting lives of a pair of budding singing sisters.
Zhang Pei Pei of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' fame was cordially invited to star in this humorous yet telling dramedy.
