yuan danzi, the screenwriter of "when the mountain flowers bloom", said that he set three goals for the creation of the script: absolute authenticity, sufficient drama and a certain degree of sociality.
the absolute authenticity comes from zhang guimei's real emotions and deeds. "in my contact with teacher zhang, i felt her optimistic, perseverance, bravery, and humorous character. we used this as the basis of the character, and at the same time restored the establishment process of the girls' school as much as possible." through the design of characters and plots, we concretely present to the audience the concepts of poverty and loneliness that teacher zhang has fought against throughout his life.”
yuan danzhan introduced that in writing the script, zhang guimei's pure happiness as an idealist was also fully explored, and grassroots officials such as deputy county magistrate ma and director zhou were designed around her, as well as teachers and students with their own characteristics. these characters the emotional intertwining with teacher zhang greatly enriches the color of the play. "in addition, compared to the well-known mr. zhang who successfully ran the school and won many honors, i insisted on writing about the original mr. zhang and tried my best to restore the uncertainty of running the school back then, because this matter itself is possible if any one of the links is missing. the occurrence of completely different results is very legendary and ups and downs in itself. this is the reality of life and the source of the drama’s tension.”
"in what way can an ordinary person improve the world we live in? teacher zhang has set the best example for us with his own life. we hope that through this play, the audience can feel teacher zhang's exuberant spirit vitality makes them realize that their ideals are still worth pursuing," yuan zhun said.

playing a character with a strong sense of belief like zhang guimei also made song jia think about her original intention as an actor. "i have played many historical figures, such as song qingling, xiao hong, etc. whenever i need to play a historical figure, when it comes to real people, what i hope i can do is to draw people's attention to that person. the difference this time is that i play a contemporary role model living around us. what i hope is that through me. this drama will let more people know about teacher zhang, and more people will love her, remember her, and learn from her. i have many touching moments after filming. in the college entrance examination room, waiting for that scene at the door, i kept crying and couldn't hold it back.
