Director: Luo Mingyou / Fei Mu｜Cast: Shang Guanwu / Lin Chuchu / Chen Yanyan｜China｜1935

The film extols Confucian values promoted during the Nationalist government’s New Life Movement, begun in 1934, especially filial piety, through the story of a wise father, his wayward son, and his virtuous grandson. Like Fei’s celebrated film Spring in a Small Town (1948), Song of China combines lyrical imagery and ethical drama.
