The Real China - Could Charlie Chan and Family Watched It?!

I came across this on my page for silent movies . . . I had completely forgotten about it.

But there it was . . . a link to a real Chinese movie, in Chinese with English subtitles . . . and to quote from the accompanying article I had found:

'On May 4th 1919, the "real" Chinese revolution was launched, a movement dedicated to modernizing China through literature, art and persuasion. Movies were an essential part of this concept that art and entertainment could serve a social function. The Orphan continues to serve a social function because it's a snapshot of its time.'

I thought it might be timely to put it on my Charlie han Annex page . . . plus some extras.

I hope you all enjoy it!
