Peng Jianqing was born in 1903 in Suzhou, and was born into a large family.

Her father got a position as the head office of the Anhui Merchants Bureau, and later lived in Shanghai.

After coming to Shanghai, she was sent to St. Mary's College, a church girls' school on a par with the Shanghai Chinese and Western Girls' School, where she received a good Western-style education and was proficient in English.

When she was 16 years old, her father died, and her brother and sister-in-law did not let her continue her studies, so she was arranged by the family to marry a coal mine supervisor surnamed Zhang in Liaoning.

After getting married, she had to follow her husband all the way to be her superintendent wife.

However, her husband turned a deaf ear to the request to continue her education before marriage, and only allowed her to live a restricted life in a golden cage, and what made her even more unbearable was that she found out that her husband was actually messing with a Japanese singer.

Disappointed and sad, she left Northeast China and returned to Shanghai.

After returning to Shanghai, her brother and sister-in-law were extremely dissatisfied with her, and she had no choice but to come out and find a job to support herself.

To be honest, it is not easy for women to find a decent job in this day and age.

She taught at Hongkou Primary School in Shanghai, but because she was not paid much, she could not make ends meet, so in order to find a well-paid career, she went to learn English typing, and three months later, she was hired as a typist at Siming Foreign Company.

The typist's salary is 30 yuan a month, and she is barely enough except for the brother and sister-in-law at home.

At this time, a colleague named Ren Jinping knew that Peng Jianqing liked to watch movies, so he encouraged her to go to the film company to shoot movies.

She is good-looking, has attended St. Mary's Girls' School, and is fluent in Chinese and English.

Whether it is her appearance or knowledge, she is no worse than the current big star Yin Mingzhu, why should she be wronged to be a typist, it is said that there is an income of several hundred yuan for making a movie.

In this way, Peng Jianqing entered the Star Film Company.

After Lin Zixuan interviewed, he felt that this woman had rich experience and should be able to play the role of a mother well.

gave her 400 silver dollars for a movie, and when she was not making movies, she could receive an allowance of 30 yuan per month, which was the basic living expenses and the treatment only contracted actors.

This price naturally can't be compared with Yin Mingzhu's 800 yuan per film, but it is already very good for a rookie actor, and with the increase of fame in the future, the salary will naturally increase.

As for changing the name, he respected Peng Jianqing's opinion and changed it to Wang Han.

"Mom Loves Me Again" tells the story of a young master from a large family in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, when he met a woman from an ordinary family while studying in Shanghai.

This woman is beautiful, kind and virtuous, and she is deeply loved by the young master, and the two of them have made a private agreement for life, and they will get married when the young master graduates.

However, their marriage was opposed by the family, and the family had already set up a marriage for the young master.

If he wanted to marry that ordinary woman, he would have to give up the family property and be kicked out of the house.

At this time, the woman turned out to be pregnant.

In the end, the young master was still unwilling to give up the glory and wealth of the family, and when the young master got married, the woman gave birth to a child in a dilapidated house.

Having children out of wedlock will be spurned by society in this era.

The woman was kicked out of her home and toiled outside the home, raising the child alone.

Seven years later, the young master was unable to have children because he had fallen from his horse, and he thought of the child he had had, so he found the woman and wanted the child back.

On a stormy night, the child was snatched away and the woman went insane.

Ten years later, the child returned to Shanghai after studying abroad, searched everywhere, and finally met his biological mother in a welfare home......

The biggest attraction of this movie is the cry of a child, and the tragic situation of the heroine.

This is also known as the bitter love drama.

Bitter drama refers to dramas created with the themes of broken families, broken emotions, broken marriages, and family suffering.

Lin Zixuan still remembers the sensation caused by this movie when it was screened in China in later generations, and there were almost no people who came out of the cinema who didn't cry, of course, with the flood of bitter love scenes in later film and television dramas, domestic audiences gradually became accustomed to it.

But bitter dramas have always had a market and have endured for a long time, because they have the feelings of guiding people to be kind and compassionate.

The plot of this movie was more common in the Republic of China, and it can be regarded as a reflection of social issues, I believe it will definitely resonate with the audience, and tear-jerking movies are by no means in vain.

Lin Zixuan even thought that he would definitely make a small profit by selling towels in the theater at that time.

In October 1922, Xu Zhimo returned from England.

He first went back to his hometown in Zhejiang, and then came to Shanghai to discuss the establishment of a literary group with Lin Zixuan.

According to his idea, this group should have a core, and at this time, Lu Xun and Hu Shi had their own group of people, only Lin Zixuan had no faction in the field of new literature.

Some domestic literati believe that Lin Zixuan is taking a third road that is different from Lu Xun and Hu Shi.

Xu Zhimo agreed.

He accepted Western romantic thought, did not agree with Lu Xun's critical attitude, and was unwilling to move closer to traditional culture like Hu Shi, he wanted to bring Western cultural exchange into China.

He wants to gather a group of top domestic intellectuals and look at today's China with Western thinking and perspectives.

Xu Zhimo felt that with Lin Zixuan's current status in new literature and his influence among Westerners, he could be the core of this group, which was not because he was arrogant, but because he sought truth from facts.

Moreover, Lin Zixuan has his own newspaper and publishing house that can publish and publish the books of this literary group.

New literature has always been niche.

Why is it so difficult for Guo Moruo's Creation Society to publish books, and it took so long to negotiate with Taidong Books to publish "Goddess", because there is no sales of such books.

Founded in 1914, Shanghai Taidong Book Company published books with progressive social ideas and social problems in China.

At that time, it was rare to publish such books in Shanghai and even in the whole country, which made Taidong Books immediately win a good reputation in the new book industry.

However, the social demand for such books is too small after all, and as a publishing house, it cannot ignore the economic interests of the bookstore, so Taidong Bookstore adjusted its publishing ideas and consciously moved closer to fashion publishing.

What is fashion publishing in Shanghai?

"Saturday novels", or Mandarin Duck and Butterfly novels are fashionable, and Taidong Bookstore later published several "Saturday novels" so as not to go out of business.

This is the social reality.

The book company would rather publish entertaining novels that are popular with the masses than new literature.

Because they know that they will lose money, the buyers of new literary poetry and fiction collections are generally progressive young students, who still need to provide for their families and have little spending power.

For example, Lin Zixuan's poetry collection "Generation" has sold no more than 8,000 copies, which is very high, while "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has sold more than 100,000 copies.

During this period, why did the magazines run by the New Literary Group cease publication because they did not sell well?

Xu Zhimo fell in love with Lin Zixuan's bookstore and newspapers, and wanted to make Vientiane Bookstore a special bookstore for the Crescent Society.
