Bitter Sweet Ballad 2025

Dandelion Middle School is the first middle school in Beijing specifically established for the children of migrant workers. Teacher Yuan Xiaoyan has been working with the school's choir for eight years. Every year, when new students enroll, she selects a group of music-loving, talented first-year students to join the choir. With the construction of Beijing Daxing International Airport, the school, initially set up in an abandoned workshop, is moving to a newly built modern campus. In the final year at the old campus, the choir welcomed a new batch of students, while the second-year members had to face decisions about their future with their families. For the choir kids, their middle school life will eventually be interrupted by the pressures of further education and the inevitability of parting ways. Throughout this journey accompanied by music, they have experienced the joys and sorrows of youth, which they bury deep in their hearts, turning them into the nourishment for their growth.
