A Spray Of Plum Blossoms
''A Spray of Plum Blossoms'' () is a 1931 silent Chinese film directed by Bu Wancang and starring Ruan Lingyu, Wang Cilong, Lim Cho Cho, and Jin Yan. It is a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's ''The Two Gentlemen of Verona''. The film is one of several collaborations between Bu Wancang and two of the top Chinese movie stars of the day Ruan Lingyu and the Korean-born Jin Yan and was produced by the Lianhua Film Company. The film is noted for its attempted "Westernized stylings" including its surreal use of decor, as well as women-soldiers with long hair. The film also had English subtitles, but as some scholars have noted, since few foreigners watched these films, the subtitles were more to give off an air of the West rather than to serve any real purpose.Pang, Laikwan, ''Building a New China in Cinema: The Chinese Left-Wing Cinema Movement'', (New York: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002), 26.Bi-qi Beatrice Lei, "Paradox of Chinese Nationalism: ''Two Gentlemen of Verona'' in Silen ...

Two Stars In The Milky Way
2 (two) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 1 and preceding 3. It is the smallest and only even prime number. Because it forms the basis of a duality, it has religious and spiritual significance in many cultures. Evolution Arabic digit The digit used in the modern Western world to represent the number 2 traces its roots back to the Indic Brahmic script, where "2" was written as two horizontal lines. The modern Chinese and Japanese languages (and Korean Hanja) still use this method. The Gupta script rotated the two lines 45 degrees, making them diagonal. The top line was sometimes also shortened and had its bottom end curve towards the center of the bottom line. In the Nagari script, the top line was written more like a curve connecting to the bottom line. In the Arabic Ghubar writing, the bottom line was completely vertical, and the digit looked like a dotless closing question mark. Restoring the bottom line to its original horizontal ...
