Also known as The Lights of Ten Thousand Homes, this political melodrama was produced by Kun Lun Studios, a private studio founded in 1946 employing many leftist and progressive filmmakers. Kun Lun was also responsible for the 1947 film, The Spring River Flows East. The screenplay is by Yang Hansheng, who also wrote San Mao Liulang ji (The Winter of Three Hairs), yet another Kun Lun production.
Life for a poor employee in a Shanghai trading company gets even harder when his relatives from the countryside come to the city seeking a better life and move into his cramped apartment. The forces of oppression are represented by the manager of the trading company. The film’s conflicts arise from oppositions including rural vs. urban, worker vs. management, and younger generation vs. older generation.
Yang Hansheng wrote: “We all know that the worsened life of our citizens is caused by high prices and growing unemployment, but who made the prices climb? Who produces unemployment? Of course this is done by money and sword (i.e. the capitalists and the military). In such a society who can have warm feelings for whom? I believe that only the people who have a hard life can feel warm towards others who have a hard life. The only thing for us to do is expressed by the protagonist of our film, ‘Let us all move nearer together.'”
