Thank you, Ceints de bakélite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbuchtel Posted October 1, 2011 at 07:14 AM Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 at 07:14 AM Thanks for posting that (and making it available for download) on your blog! I don't have any information about that song, but I was interested to see that the singer was also a famous movie star, and that archives of several of her movies (from the 1930's) are available through the Internet Archive for streaming or downloading- Street Angel 马路天使 Dream of the Red Mansions 红楼梦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, Zhou Xuan was also a movie star, like most of the Chinese famous singers at that time. My favourite Zhou Xuan was precisely performed in Street Angel : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones. Really interesting ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
