According to the audience, "When the Wild Flowers Bloom" has a coherent and realistic narrative, bringing a pleasant feeling. The film does not focus on the difficulties and hardships of the famous woman Truong Que Mai (played by Tong Giai), but aims to portray the image of an optimistic teacher, persistent with her goals and ideals.
Actress Tong Giai has portrayed well the image of Truong Que Mai, close and ordinary. Compared to the movie version of Truong Que Mai starring Hai Thanh, Tong Giai makes viewers sympathize and love her more.
"When the Wild Flowers Bloom" is adapted from the true story of principal Zhang Guimei - a high school teacher in the mountains of western China. During her years working in education, she constantly witnessed sad stories of female students who had to drop out of school because their families were poor, go out to work, get married, and have children. This made Guimei extremely heartbroken, regretful, and wanted to do something to change reality.
After 6 years of preparation, Truong Que Mai established a free high school for girls, hoping to help children in mountainous areas have the opportunity to go to school and pass the university entrance exam. In 2008, Truong Que Mai's Hoa Binh Girls' High School in Lijiang, Yunnan began operating.
At first, the school faced many difficulties such as lack of funding, teachers, and students. However, with her constant efforts and hard work, the female principal led everyone to overcome the challenges, bringing students over the mountains to the university, changing their fate.
Ms. Zhang Guimei was born in 1957 in Heilongjiang, China. She graduated from Lijiang Teachers College and stayed in Dali to work as a teacher with her husband. After her husband passed away in 1996, Ms. Zhang Guimei moved to Huaping County and has been there ever since.
