Little Flower (Xiao Hua) was the name of Ding Shan's character in "Little Town Girl".
Ding Shan was only about eight or nine years old at that time. Her character was an abandoned orphan who her kind grandfather adopted. Her grandfather was not well-educated. When he picked up the child, he was a baby girl wrapped in a cotton quilt, so he named her little Flower (Xiao Hua).
Little Flower had a rough life. She and her grandfather depended on each other for survival. It was not easy for him to raise her. The days were so hard that the audience's hearts were beating. One after another, they cried. However, the little Flower was so sensible that it made people's hearts ache. The little girl went to school independently; she cooked and cared for her grandfather. Her face was always filled with a bright smile.
