Street Angel – A Rare Chance to See a Chinese Classic – September 7

Posted: September 4th, 2011 | No Comments »

Website and magazine The World of Chinese puts on its next bi-weekly screening on Wednesday, 7th September at Beijing’s Zajia Lab. And they’re showing a classic. Street Angel (马路天使) is a deft blend of comedy and melodrama tells of two sisters struggling on the streets of 1930s Shanghai. The pair — one a prostitute, the other a teahouse singer — face greater hardships when their adoptive parents try to sell one sister to a sleazy patron. This film introduced audiences to Chinese starlet Zhou Xuan in her breakthrough role.
