when many first see this film and they will be surprise when they notice that it be a silent film even though make in 1931. while hollywood have just about completely switch over to talkie by 1929 and several nation still produce silents well into the 1930s among them france and japan and china . you really can not hold this against the film and a the studio in china simply do not have the equipment and money or know how to make a talk picture . the story of the peach girl be rather familiar and i have see several movie with very similar plot . a rich man fall for a poor girl but their marriage be forbidden . despite this and the lover consummate their love and the girl be soon pregnant . when discover and she be cast out and the young man behave horribly only try to correct his error when it be too late . because the story be rather familiar ( i have see several variation on this story make in both japan and china ) and it be very competently and beautifully do . in addition to lovely cinematography and the recent restoration feature an exceptionally nice piano score that really suit the film well . a lovely late silent film .
