Abstract
The left-wing literary movement, prevalent in areas centering around Shanghai in the early and the mid 1930's, though lasting for only five or six years, has had far-reaching influence on literature, movies and music of China to some degree. People behind this movement were members of the Chinese Communist Party, and some so-called "progressive" people who stood on the same side with the CCP. During this period of time, in order to promote the ideas of anti-imperialism, anti-feudalism, and anti-capitalism, they produced approximately seventy films, among which, Yu Guang Qu (《漁光曲》, Song of the Fishermen) was the most popular. The film was shown in Shanghai for eighty-four days consecutively, breaking the current record. In 1935, it participated in the International Movie Festival in Moscow, won an honorable award, and thus became the first movie in Chinese history that has won an international award. The essay is devoted to describing its original plan, production process, the inauguration ceremony in Shanghai, newspaper commentaries to the film, its participation and winning of the International Movie Festival in Moscow, the production company, the script writer, the director, the cast, the theme songs, music recording, photographing, and many other details.
