Wiki.

Scenes of City Life is a 1935 Chinese comedy-drama film directed by Yuan Muzhi. It is also translated as Cityscape. It is noted for being the first film directed by Yuan, as well as the first film appearance of Jiang Qing (or Lan Ping, as she then called herself), who later became Mao Zedong's fourth wife. The film deals with themes of struggle under a capitalist system. It is a type of Shanghai film from the 1930s that were all involved in music, cinema, fashion, advertising, which contributed to the "Shanghai mystique". This film shares the style at that time with other movies like music, cinema, fashion and advertising which contributed to "Shanghai mystique" which embodied Shanghai's sophisticated pride.
