The girl is very lovely and swayed with smooth, effortless grace. So is the man - very handsome and graceful. Both make a very perfect dancing couple. Their enchanting dance brings to life an old 1937 song, making it almost evergreen. Culture and movies were still very much alive in China even during the years of war with Japan. Unfortunately, after the communists took over power, they tragically destroyed the vibrant arts and culture; while artistes were jailed or persecuted. The only songs and movies allowed were those praising the greatest dictator of all time. About the song: 天涯歌女 (Tianya genü), translated to mean "The Wandering Songstress", is one of two theme songs sung by Zhou Xuan (周璇) in the 1937 China film “Street Angel” (马路天使). It was composed by He Luting based on an older Suzhou ballad, with lyrics by Tian Han. The songs were arranged according to principles of Western music composition and performed in a traditional Chinese vocal style, accompanied by Chinese music instruments such as erhu, pipa, and sanxian.
