Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Song of China (Chinese: 天倫; pinyin: Tiān lún), also known as Filial Piety, is a 1935 Chinese film directed by Fei Mu and Luo Mingyou for the Lianhua Film Company. Unlike earlier Lianhua films that railed against traditional society, Song of China is representative of the New Life Movement of Chiang Kai-shek, which celebrates traditional Confucian values. Song of China is one of the few Chinese films made in the 1930s to be screened in the United States. The film is available with English translation on YouTube. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
