The Plot Points of "Spring Goes, Spring Returns"
In "Spring Goes, Spring Returns", Li Zonghan plays Cheng Wanli, originally named Zhang Laifu. He is a small character from a poor background. He is upright, kind, and strong. To help his younger brother get through a crisis, he was willing to sell himself into ten years of bonded labor in Shanghai, yet he could still face life optimistically. However, his background dragged him into one conspiracy after another: "the switched babies scandal", "falsely accused of murder", "imprisoned", "lover taken away"... Zhang Laifu felt as if he had been thrown into hell. But with the help of a jailer, he finally regained his freedom and fled to Brazil. Five years later, Zhang Laifu returned to Shanghai as an elegant and wealthy overseas Chinese businessman named Cheng Wanli. He intended to take revenge on all those who wronged him... People who have read the classic "The Count of Monte Cristo" would certainly be familiar with such a plot. Yes, Zhang Laifu's experience is very similar to that of the Count of Monte Cristo. However, in "Spring Goes, Spring Returns", which can be considered the Republic of China version of "The Count of Monte Cristo", Zhang Laifu's experiences are more tortuous, his emotional stories are richer, and his enemies are more numerous and cunning.
