The film was filmed on Hainan Island, directed by the famous director Huang Jianzhong, and played by Li Kechun was The then-popular actor Lu Xiaohe. The crew has a foreign actor named Steven, an American environmental expert who came to Hainan Island to investigate. Because a foreign actor was needed in the play, the crew invited him to come over and let him make a temporary cameo.
Steven fell in love with Li Kechun at first sight and bluntly courted her, but the implicit Li Kechun did not accept. At that time, Li Kechun was learning English with a miniature radio all day, and Steven enthusiastically became her English speaking teacher and invited Li Kechun to dinner.
Just when Li Kechun had a good feeling for him, Steven told Li Kechun that he had not divorced, but he had a bad relationship with his wife and had separated. Li Kechun was shocked, saying that Steven was too ridiculous, blaming him for having a wife and not being qualified to pursue himself. Steven said he would give her a satisfactory result.
After the Spring Festival in 1990, Steven came to Beijing again to pursue Li Kechun. He seriously told Li Kechun: "I am divorced, and now I am entitled to pursue you." At that time, Li Kechun was preparing to take the TOEFL test, steven was enthusiastically tutoring her, and Li Kechun was finally touched by his persistence and sincerity and accepted his love.

In 1991, Li Kechun gave birth to his daughter Meimei. Because there is a nanny to help take care of his daughter, Li Kechun has more free time, and he has seen many Chinese actors develop in Hollywood, and Li Kechun also goes to Hollywood to find drama.
Once, the director asked her to make a police film, and she rushed over at 8 a.m. until 12 noon, and no one greeted her or poured her a glass of water. And some American actors are talking and laughing on the side, but no one pays attention to Li Kechun, she can't stand this kind of snub and discrimination, and whisks her sleeves away.
Soon, the director of the film "Red Corner" took the initiative to contact Li Kechun and let her play a small supporting role in the play. After Li Kechun tried the play, the director fixed her. However, a few days later, when she went to the crew to officially shoot the scene, her role was taken away by another Chinese actress.
Li Kechun was a little angry, and later she learned that "Red Corner" is an anti-China film, and she is glad that she did not act.

After spending a long time in the United States, Li Kechun found that it is not easy for Chinese actors to break through in Hollywood, they are not mainstream, they are in a weak position, and most of them play roles such as thieves, prostitutes, and drug addicts. She advises domestic actors not to go to Hollywood, because they can't find their place there.

In 1994, the famous director Huang Jianzhong planned to shoot the film "Chinese Mother", and invited Li Kechun to return to China to shoot a drama. Li Kechun discussed the matter with her husband, and Steven said happily: "You go, don't worry about the family, I will take care of my daughter." ”
Therefore, Li Kechun returned to China again after four years to shoot.

She made this decision mainly for two reasons, one is that for more than a decade, she has often returned to China to shoot, spend less time with her daughter and husband, and she wants to spend more time with her family. The second is couples in their 50s, marriage is the most prone to problems, and many people are divorced at this age.
Li Kechun was also worried that the time and space distance would dilute his feelings and wanted to spend more time with his husband, so he made the decision to stop the shadow.
At her age, everything is open, no longer cares about whether there is a drama, red is not red, and family and family are far more important than filming. Although he was married to the United States, Li Kechun was deeply attached to the motherland, often returned to China to visit relatives, participate in activities, and also engaged in some Sino-US cultural exchange activities.
