There were two phenomena which vitalized Chinese film in 1930s, one of which was the advent of ‘talkie film’ and the other was the rise of leftist film. The rise of leftist film have caused a fundamental change in Chinese film. Before then, commercial genre films like historical films, martial arts films and ghost film had dominated the film scene. In 1930s, however, voices were raised that criticized the film producers interested only in those unreal subjects, and film-makers turned their eyes to meet the needs of the times and the demands from the audience. In 1932, the establishment of Manchuguo, the puppet state by the imperial Japan, propelled the Chines film circle to open a new era of Renaissance. The patriotic and anti-Japanese sentiments united Chinese people, and movie-goers wanted to see in films nationalist, patriotic and anti-Japanese spirit. The first golden age of Chinese film began in 1932 and ended in 1937. In 1930s for the first time in the history of Chinese film, due to the activities of ‘the second generation of Chinese film makers’ who were fully armed with leftist ideology, films got into a close tie with politics. The films in this period were forming the tradition of realist film based on anti-colonial and anti-imperial ideologies. Ruan Lingyu(阮玲玉, 1910-1935) was the representative actress of the first golden age in Chinese film history. Ruan, often dubbed as ‘Oriental Greta Garbo,’starred in more than 30 silent films, and participated in Chinese leftist films and left many significant films such as Three Modern Women(1932) before her premature death. In this paper, I tried to focus on The Goddess(神女, 1934) and New Woman (新女性, 1934) which were representing works both in Ruan’s filmography and of the golden age of Chinese films. Although both of them belong to relatively early period, they have reflected the Zeitgeist of leftist film movement and have presented a noteworthy feminist agenda. My analysis of the those films will show how the film representation of so-called new woman and the sign of star actress Luan Lingyu are articulated.
