Peng Jianqing was born in 1903 and was originally from Suzhou. He was born in a big family.

Her father got the position of chief executive at Anhui Investment and Merchants and later lived in Shanghai.

After she came to Shanghai, she was sent to the St. Mary Academy, a school for the girls' schools in Shanghai. This is a school for girls' schools that are as famous as the Chinese and Western girls' schools in Shanghai. There she received a good Western education and was proficient in English.

When her father died at the age of sixteen, her brother and sister-in-law refused to let her continue her studies, and her family was responsible for supervising the marriage with a coal mine surnamed Zhang in Liaoning.

After marriage, she had to follow her husband all the way to be her supervisor.

However, her husband turned a deaf ear to promise her to continue her studies before marriage, and only allowed her to live a restricted life in a golden cage. What made her unable to bear was that she discovered that her husband was actually hanging with the Japanese singer.

She was both disappointed and sad, leaving the Northeast and returning to Shanghai.

After returning to Shanghai, her brother and sister-in-law were extremely dissatisfied with her, so she had 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 era.

She taught at Shanghai Hongkou Primary School. Because she was paid very little and she was unable to make ends meet, she went to learn English typing in order to get a profession with a rich income. Three months later, she was hired as a typist at Siming Foreign Company.

The typist's monthly salary is 30 yuan, and she is barely enough except for giving it to her brother and sister-in-law at home.

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

She has a good appearance and has studied at St. Mary Girls' School and is proficient in Chinese and English.

Whether it is appearance or knowledge, she is no worse than the current big star Yin Mingzhu. Why do you have to be a typist because she is said to earn several hundred yuan for making a movie.

In this way, Peng Jianqing walked into the celebrity 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.

She was given a movie of 400 yuan. When she was not filming a movie, she could receive a allowance of 30 yuan a month. This is a basic living expenses and only the contracted actors can get.

This price is naturally not comparable to Yin Mingzhu's 800 yuan per film, but it is already very good for new actors. As the reputation increases, the salary will naturally increase.

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

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

The woman was beautiful, kind and virtuous, and was deeply loved by the young master. The two decided to live for life and got married when the young master graduated.

However, their marriage was opposed by the family, and the family had already decided on a marriage of a good match for the young master.

If he wants to marry that ordinary woman, he will give up his family's property and be kicked out of the house.

At this moment, the woman was pregnant.

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

In this era, having children without wedlock will be despised by society.

The woman was kicked out of the house and worked hard outside to raise the child alone.

Seven years later, the young master fell from the horse and was unable to have children. He thought of the child he had once, so he found the woman and wanted to get the child back.

On a stormy night, the child was taken away and the woman went crazy.

Ten years later, the child who returned from studying abroad returned to Shanghai and searched everywhere. Finally, he met his biological mother in a welfare home...

The biggest highlights of this movie are the crying of the child and the miserable situation of the heroine.

That is the so-called bitter drama.

A bitter drama refers to a drama created with the theme of broken family, broken emotions, broken marriage and family suffering.

Lin Zixuan still remembers the sensation caused by this movie in later generations when it was screened in China. Almost no one came out of the cinema did not cry. Of course, with the proliferation of bitter dramas in later generations, domestic audiences gradually became accustomed to it.

But the bitter scene has always been a market and has lasted for a long time, because it has the feelings of guiding people to be kind and compassion for the world.

The plot of this movie was more common during the Republic of China period and also reflected social problems. I believe it will resonate with the audience. Tears and jerking movies are by no means a fictional reputation.

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

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 must have a core. At this time, Luxun and Hu Shi both had their own group of people, and only Lin Zixuan had no faction in the field of new literature.

Some domestic literati believe that Lin Zixuan is taking the third path different from Luxun and Hu Shi.

Xu Zhimo agreed with this.

He accepted Western romanticism, did not agree with Luxun's critical attitude, nor was he willing to move closer to traditional culture like Hu Shi. He wanted to bring Western cultural exchange methods to China.

He wants to gather a group of top domestic intellectuals and look at China today from Western thinking and perspective.

Xu Zhimo felt that Lin Zixuan's current status in new literature and influence among Westerners could be the core of this group. This is not that he underestimated himself, but that he seeks truth from facts.

Moreover, Lin Zixuan has his own newspaper and publishing house, which can publish and publish books from this literary group.

New literature has always been niche.

Why is it so difficult for Guo Moruo’s Creation Society to publish books? It took so long to negotiate with Taidong Bookstore to publish "Goddess". This is because this type of book has no sales.

Shanghai Taidong Bookstore was founded in 1914 and published books with progressive social thoughts and discussions on Chinese social issues in the early days.

At that time, such books were rarely published in Shanghai and even in the country, which made Taidong Bookstore gain a good reputation in the new book industry at once.

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

In Shanghai, what is fashion publishing?

"Saturday Novels", or the novels of the Mandarin duck butterfly school are fashion. Taidong Bookstore later published several novels of the "Saturday School" so that they would not go bankrupt.

This is social reality.

The bookstore would rather publish entertainment novels that the public likes to read than publish new literary works.

Because they knew that they would lose money, the buyers of new literary poetry collections and novels were generally progressive young students, and these people still needed to provide support from home and had low consumption capacity.

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

During this period, why did magazines run by new literature groups stop publishing? Because there is no sales volume?
