Jin Yan tells the remarkable story of the "Emperor of Film," who dominated the golden age of Chinese silent movies. Includes dozens of beautiful stills of Jin Yan and his films from the personal collection of Qin Yi and the China Film Archive. The book comes with a DVD of the film, Peach Girl.
Dr. Meyer insightfully places Jin Yan's films within the film industry in which they were made and the socio-political context of their times. Invaluable for English-speaking readers. -- Peter Lehman, director, Center for Film, Media and Popular Culture, Arizona State University
