The film consists of several groups of character stories.

The singing of Gan Xin, a working lotus-picking woman, evoked the memories of the reclusive poet and inspired him. Gan Xin used his own hand to replace the hand of the poet that was disabled due to leprosy, and wrote the next page of verses for him.
A man riding a rickshaw falls in love with a prostitute, and uses sincerity and care to bring back the pure feelings and memories of the woman. It turned out that the man was the classmate who had a crush on her at school.
Children who sold small items on the street lost their boxes of goods, were kicked out, and had no choice but to live on the streets. He hides in the cinema to peek at movies, plays football with children on the street, and accompanies the little girl who picks up rubbish, and accidentally finds his lost childhood.
An American veteran returns to find his abandoned illegitimate daughter, only to find that her daughter has been turned into a prostitute. He finally plucked up the courage to talk to his daughter and ask her forgiveness.

This film is about the loss and search of Vietnam. Intellectuals (poets) lose both their health and their souls, and they hide in the shadows all day and dare not see anyone. Men rely on hard labor to make a living, with no future and no hope. Women become prostitutes, children become beggars. The streets are bankrupt, dust billows, and old people live in crumbling wrecked iron houses. Contrast this with the lavish life of the "high-class" people (mostly foreigners) in luxury hotels.

However, the poet finally found inspiration before dying. Men and women support each other and walk towards the beautiful trail of colorful flowers. The child regains his innocence. The American veteran muttered to himself: "Maybe it's time to get along well with this country." The

film depicts Vietnam's beautiful traditions, human feelings and landscapes, as well as the poor and no way out status in poetic language. Through the image of an American veteran, he euphemistically expressed his hope that the Western world would make up for the crimes committed during the Vietnam War and help Vietnam.
Compared to our country Zhang Guoshi only exposed the ugliness of Chinese people, this is really a Vietnamese national propaganda film that is many times better. CCTV "A Date with a Good Movie" has also been broadcast more than once. The film should have been shot in the 1990s. Since the new century, the Communist Party of Vietnam has carried out reform and opening up. Although it has encountered setbacks, it has developed rapidly and its national strength has greatly increased. The resistance it encountered in the world is much smaller than that of China.

Three Seasons quotes

  • James Hager: I made many mistakes in my life. That was a long time ago. Have I met the same man I was then? A lot of times past. When a chance comes around to make a wrong a right it's a special thing. But I hoped to make one thing right.
