The Peach Girl
''The Peach Girl'', also known as ''Peach Blossom Weeps Tears of Blood'', is a 1931 silent film written and directed by Bu Wancang. The cast included some of the major movie stars of the periods including the Korean born actor Jin Yan and the actresses Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Lili. The film was produced by the Lianhua Film Company and proved an early success for the studio, in no small part due to the on screen combination of Jin and Ruan, the so-called " Valentino" and " Garbo" of Shanghai cinema, and who starred together in several vehicles before Ruan's suicide in 1935. A print of the film is currently maintained by the China Film Archives. Plot The film deals with an innocent country girl Miss Lim (Ruan) and her relationship with the landlord's son (Jin).

Hokkien
The Hokkien () variety of Chinese is a Southern Min language native to and originating from the Minnan region, where it is widely spoken in the south-eastern part of Fujian in southeastern mainland China. It is one of the national languages in Taiwan, and it is also widely spoken within the Chinese diaspora in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia; and by other overseas Chinese beyond Asia and all over the world.
