Wiki.

Plunder of Peach and Plum (Chinese: 桃李劫; pinyin: Táolǐ jié) is an early Chinese sound film from 1934. Produced by the left-leaning Shanghai-based Diantong Film Company, Plunder was directed by Ying Yunwei and starred popular actor Yuan Muzhi (who also co-wrote the screenplay). It is alternatively known as The Fate of Graduates.

The film was featured in the 62nd Venice International Film Festival as part of their retrospective, The Secret History of Asian Cinema.

The theme song for the film is called "Graduation Song" (毕业歌).
